Not at the present time.
Even if you like and agree with Huckabee, you've still got to get past the rapist's pardon
You are misinformed. There was no "pardon".

If you're going to mention Dane, then ping Dane.
And Dane already stated that Dane isn't dano1. Even if Dane actually is dano1, so what? There should still be a ping.
Plus Dane and dano1 are entitled to their opinion here so long as they are not banned.
(And no, this is not from another incarnation of Dane/dano1).
>>>>>The reality here is that Americans have been electing governors to the presidency for a long time — such men as .... Carter, Reagan, Clinton and George W. Bush; and guess what, there are only two former governors running in the GOP primaries, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.
Being a governor doesn't mean you'll make a good POTUS. Four of the five recent governors mentioned who went on to be elected president, only Reagan was truly successful. Carter was a absolute failure, Clinton's liberalism was kept in check by the first GOP Congress in 40 years and Bush43`s mixed domestic policies has led to a mixed record at best.
Its time voters began looking in other directions. Romney and Huckabee may have been Governors, but I wouldn't call them conservatives by any stretch of the imagination.
No clue...
That is “plum sick” give me a dirty feeling all over!
Too old?
Harrison
Taylor
Buchanan
Reagan
Bush41
Were all about the same age.
Too slow? I think not, ask Romney and Marsha. LOL
The only true conservatives left are in Congress. Closest to the people. The Senators and Governors may have been conservative at one point but they’ve been bought by corporate dollars and media attention.
The media’s motives have been blatantly obvious:
Fawn all over Huck now and then jump all over him after the primary for being a “religious nut”.
NO!!!
There are some solid conservatives in the Senate.
Tom Coburn from Oklahoma is one. Wayne Allard of Colorado is another. Jeff Sessions of Alabama and Jim Bunning of Kentucky.
One ex-Senator would make a fine conservative POTUS. Fred Thompson.
He'll lose everybody who's got doubts about or hostility towards "compassionate conservatism" and evangelicals in politics.
Add together Northerners who are just fed up with mixing religion and politics with conservatives who don't want the GOP to support more big government and that's probably a majority of the country.
I'm not saying Hillary or Obama have won over a majority of the country, just that enough voters will stay home to ensure that Huck loses by a landslide.
Even if you like and agree with Huckabee, you've still got to get past the rapist's pardon -- and a few more scandals will probably come out before election day.
If Huck and Edwards are nominated it just might be the break Bloomberg is looking for (tongue in cheek, but not entirely).
Not at the present time.

I'm just guessing that it is succor and comfort for their desperation and hate of Mike Huckabee's rise in the GOP Presidential race.
And to reinterate, I am not dano1.
Someone new comes in the race and becomes popular quickly because people don't know the negatives.
Look at the blue line for Fred Thompson.
That's the kind of boom and bust that Huckabee may also have.
Spam, you not?
Perfect! I hope it’s printed as a poster and distributed everywhere.
Both Clinton and Huckabee are big tax and spend liberals. Hucabee is for amnesty for illegal aliens. So is Mrs. Clinton. He’s supported the pardons of criminals. So did Clinton (and yes, Bush).
I see no degeneration in making these comparisons.
pro-life, pro family, anti gay special rights, pro marriage, pro-gun, fair tax not so much like clinton...
That’s one side of him. There’s another as I pointed out.
