In the primaries, though, it may have the opposite effect.

LOL, astute analysis.

Adios Mike.

Wow do I dislike Huckabee. He was a tax-raiser in Arkansas and now he undermines the war on terror.

[Gay State Conservative]

I went to see my very RAT,very articulate doctor the other day and as we were chatting (he’s the talkative type) he said that Huckabee is an interesting guy in his opinion.That,alone,is a danger sign to me.

Hucksterbee and Paulnuts. Candidates for those who wish Pat Buchanan was running.

[Maynerd]

Huckabee is triangulating a bit and trying to thread the needle. Huckabee seems like a good man but I don’t see him going far in this race. A southern fundie doesn’t appear to match the mood of the country (unfortunately).

[Santiago de la Vega]

Whether Huckabee is right is not the issue, the break with Bush’s foreign policy is.

Bush and Cheney have done the Nation and the Republican party a huge favor by stepping out of the race for President.

Now, each candidate can address the issues clearly, without having to defend the President’s policies.

From this will come a clearer statement of each candidate’s views, and a better foreign and domestic policy.

Huckabee’s irrelevant.

Well, Mike is well known for his support of the fair tax. but this:
“the US could turn Iran away from nuclear weapons through the promise of better relations and economic support.”
shows he doesn’t understand the Iranian government. you cannot negotiate with the mullahs because there is no word for ‘compromise’. You go straight to the Iranian people!

Right now running as a Bush-alike is good for fund raising. However, if troops are still getting killed in November 2008, then running as a Bush-alike will be a load. The surge is the key.

I too am critical of the Bush administration handling of the WOT, but in the opposite direction: It's been long on police bureaucracy and short on empowering the people to rid ourselves of these Islamic thugs.

The only military force that brought down a plane on 9-11 was the unorganized militia. The force that brought in the DC sniper was the unorganized militia. The force that stands the best chance of securing our schools to avoid a Belsen massacre here in the US is the unorganized militia. The force that stands the best chance of ridding ourselves of illegals and Islamic subversives is the unorganized militia.

The Second Amendment is PRECISELY the correct tool to manage the domestic side of the WOT. Border enforcement and better inspection of containers is the Federal side and it is woefully lacking. That mismanagement of priorities IS Bush's fault.

Absolutely, especially when they think their 12th leader (is it a mullah?) will only return upon devastation of the world by war and death.

[Verginius Rufus]

Huckabee comes across well in the debates but keeps showing that he isn't ready for prime time. Recently he showed himself surprisingly ignorant about the abortion issue (not knowing what the Mexico City policy was) and now this. His one great accomplishment has been to lose 100 pounds--does that make him Presidential? Would William Howard Taft have been a great President if he had just weighed less?

At one point he might have been seriously looked at as a VP choice, but he seems intent on killing that.

[Verginius Rufus]

The twelfth imam, or the Mahdi.

[MNJohnnie]

Nice slogans Mike, too bad you had no serious solutions to offer just Ron Paul style sound bites. Mike, You are the weakest link. Bye bye!

[JasonC]

Utterly clueless on the single most important issue of our time - Iran and proliferation to terror states. Therefore, utterly unqualified to be president, or even to hold any office with national responsibilities.

[Theodore R.]

You’re right, Pat was, is, and shall remain the tops in politics. It’s too bad the American people could not understand his program.

[dano1]

"We'll see if it gains Huckabee anything other than headlines. In a general election, these positions would almost certainly boost a GOP nominee. In the primaries, though, it may have the opposite effect."

Thanks to all of you, Company C

I had the distinct pleasure of standing on a street corner at 6:30 this morning in Paragould and watching two buses filled with these wonderful brave men come home to Paragould,Ar.

A huge homecoming rally for these brave troops!

“the US could turn Iran away from nuclear weapons through the promise of better relations and economic support.”

Definitive proof that the man is unfit for national office. That together with his heinous insults against Americans by joking about mexican aliens becoming "a majority" (YUK YUK) pretty well discredit his claim to be a member of the human race. We just don't need any demented grotesque morbid fatties in the White House, and this gasbag is the worst of the lot.
