>> if Huckabee does decide to run in 2012, it looks like he's in for a repeat of 2008 from his party's fiscal zealots <<

Actually one of the reasons Huck surged in 2008 was he drew alot of fiscal groups on his side, notably the FairTax people while Fred Thompson was endlessly sitting on the sidelines "thinking about" whether to run. If Huck had drawn only some hardcore "Evangelical" Christians and zero fiscal groups, his campaign would have been a repeat of Gary Bauer in 2000.

I also fear Sarah Palin may be too damaged by the mainstream media slime, but we could do a lot worse than her. Better her than a Romney type.

I'm on the fence til I see who runs.

DeMint, Pence, Bachmann and Cain. I’ll be happy if a couple of those run. If no conservatives run, I’ll just tune it out.

That's their talking points 'too damaged', their propaganda. They say what they WANT you to believe - truth has nothing to do w/it. The same people who anointed their 'messiah'. See how many took the bait?

Truth is they couldn't touch her - she's still in demand as ever as they hang onto her every word.

Palin’s the only one who will fight, take hits, keep fighting, and keep taking hits while knocking out her opponents.

I believe the Fair Tax is the main reason a lot of people supported or voted for Huck. I know Sarah has said she favors tax reform, and has mentioned the flat tax and the fair tax. That topic hasn’t been in the headlines lately, but I think it would help her to tout them in her campaign.
