Now that's a nightmare.

ok. I wont underestimate him. But I wont vote for him. Not in a million years. Raised spending in that state of his by a cool 65 percent. Compassionate conservative all the way.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Go ahead and underestimate Huckster.

GOP Populism is the “new” Hope N Change meme. Breads and Circuses served up republican style.

TEN THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MIKE HUCKABEE:

1. Soft-on-crime Governor who went on a pardon/commutation spree
2. Pro-instate-tuition for illegal aliens and other giveaways – poor record on immigration
3. Fiscal liberal Tax-and-spender as Governor
4. Dissembled about his record when challenged (pardons, taxes, ethics)
5. Not a conservative, hurt conservatives in Arkansas
6. Ethics issues, taking public money for private use
7. Flipflopper, on immigration, Cuba and other issues
8. An incompetent Jimmy Carteresque boob on foreign policy
9. Is a nanny-stater supporter of smoking bans and enviro-wacko CO2 caps
10. Fired the prosecutor who filed animal cruelty charges against his son David

Mike Huckabee is nothing more than a William Jennings Bryan of the current era. Both pose themselves as Christians but are far left radicals. And both are hideously fat. At least Bryan was honest enough to be in the 'RAT party.

Huckabee and Santorum are appealing to mostly the same voters. I think that Santorum will outwork him. Might be wrong. Just my opinion. In 2012 Santorum was at less than 1%. He visited every county in Iowa at least once. He won Iowa. I’m guessing that if anyone is being underestimated, it might be Santorum. (The media is also underestimating Cruz’s chances, I think.)

Huckabee is nothing more than a weapon for Jeb Bush to try and screw up Cruz and others.
His only hope is to get the VP slot if Jeb gets in and that is what he is playing for.
He is also a nasty politician. He plays dirty with the best of them.
He and Jeb Bush need to retire and let the real men have at the chance for the Presidency.

>> The problem for Huckabee is that there are better populists out there now.

Ha. The problem for Huckster is that there are better conservative CANDIDATES now. Period.

Before Huckabee joined, this 2016 field already had a conservative depth and — dare I say it? — gravitas to it that 2008 and 2912 didn’t even approach.

Huckabee is an even more useless populist appendage now than he was last time around.

He should save himself the embarrassment. By the way, I feel exactly the same about Santorum.

If I said he had a snowball’s chance I’d be overestimating.

[cuban leaf]

I’m a bass player so I have a soft spot in my heart for the guy. But I wouldn’t vote for him for my city’s mayor. It’s his policies and actions.

He certainly cannot compete with the likes of Walker or Cruz for what would normally be his base.

[Boogieman]

“S.E. Cupp, though, thinks Huckabee should be taken seriously and shouldn’t be underestimated in the context of 2016.”

Ok, so pro-abort libertarians are pumping him up because they want him to cut votes from real conservatives, while they know he can’t actually win.

[skeeter]

I don't underestimate Aw Shucks Huck's intention to dilute the conservative vote allowing the GOPe's chosen squish to slip past with the nomination.

I still wonder whats in it for him, though. It ain't the White House, as he surely knows.

FRed Thompson defines Huckabee in 2008 S.C. GOP POTUS debate .....

The direction Governor Huckabee would take us in … liberal economic policies … liberal foreign policies … taxpayer funded programs for illegals … that’s not the model of the Reagan coalition, that’s the model of the democratic party.

Yeah, anyone who can profit from selling Bible verses to desperate people as a cure for cancer is someone who should be reckoned with. And he will be, eventually.

Huck Fuckabee.
