I like Huck and would vote for him, however I want electability. Kennedy and Scalia and Ruth Buzzy are old. We can't afford another 4 years of Osama , because the rep candidate is too RINOish. I am crazy about palin ( if I had a magic wand I'd make her empress), but the media will destroy her again - worse than they did to COD. My advice to her is run against Begich and build a resume that the MSM can't mock, and continue her role as kingmaker (and endorse only candidates who can win)
Barbour is great, but he is central casting for the negative stereotype of REPS- as portrayed by the MSM. Christie is my gov and is a superstar, but only 2 years in, and many freepers will call him a RINO ( forgetting the original intent of federalism- let the social issues be decided state by state). Demint is another great one, but a son of the Confederacy from South Carolina will be fodder for the MSM. Jindal is a star who defies the MSM stereotype of reps being angry white xtian males ( OK I know that Indians are aryans of varying shades of white to brown) but the MSM would have a hard time trashing him or calling him a racist. He is anaccomplished doer, and is extremely articulate on his feet sans teleprompter(ala Christie). -in fact he is better w/ithout a teleprompter( remember his response to the first Osama SOTU I'd love Allen West, but too soon. Pawlenty was a great gov of a blue state who'd make a great pres, but so far he doesn't impress me in the charisma dept. Kasich would be a phenomenal pres- goes against stereotype as he has blue collar background, but will have his hands full in Ohio. Romney has crossover appeal , but he has to define himself and figure out how to spin Romneycare-if its possible.

Never knew your man Huckabee was a Yankee .... are you confusing him with Bush?

What is it you like about Huck? His free spending ways? His pardon everyone criminal justice policies? His soft on amnesty immigration views? I’d have a very hard time voting for Huckabee. Yes, he’s a folksy Christian, but he was a terrible governor, and he’d make an even worse President. Of course worse than Barry Obama is a metaphysical impossibility.
