In some quarters, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee appears to be the flavor-of-the-month Republican candidate

I can tell you exactly what "quarters": the MSM quarters.

They annointed McCain.

When that failed, they annointed Giuliani.

Now that that's failing, they want to annoint Huckabee.

It's all pretty transparent.

Concur, except rather than “transparent”, I call it blatant.

The MSM is pushing the Huckster to bring Thompson’s and Romney’s numbers down for a Rudy win.
It only seems to be effecting Romney at this point , as Fred’s support is holding steady .

Give me any evidence what so ever that 1. they anointed Giuliani and 2. that he has failed.

from the article: In 2006, Republicans suffered a severe lashing at the polls in retaliation for years of out-of-control spending and government expansion. In the final days before last year’s elections, the Club for Growth commissioned a poll among voters in the 15 most competitive congressional districts across the country. The results showed a remarkable and painful erosion of the Republicans’ fiscal branding among these key swing voters

Doi, Me Thinks we nominate small-government tax cutters, social issues didn't make the difference in 2006 and they won't in 2008.

Actually it was:

McCain, ronpaul,Giuliani, Huckabee...

transparent to us because we view politics as a contact participation sport.

The 85 year old viewer of CBS TV, (remote control TV is for you lazy good for nothing kids!) who is still waiting for walter cronkite to come back from vacation who is going to do what the MSM tells them should be done.

Huckabee is a cross between Bill Clinton and G.W.B. He’s being pushed forward for two reasons. He’s a Southern Governor with strong social conservative credentials. And he’s liberal on damn near everything else, but he’s just soooo charming (like Clinton) we’re not supposed to notice.

Well, if people haven’t noticed yet there are going to.

Just as Rudy is unacceptable for his social positions (among other issues), Huckbee is not acceptable because he’s right on only one issue. Both men will turn away a segment of the GOP that is crucial to winning elections. Two groups turned 41 out on his ear in ‘92 aside from blue dogs/Indy’s. they were the social conservatives (new world order) and the fiscal conservatives/libertarians (read my lips).

While Toomey is right on Huckabee, he’s wrong on Rudy. And while Christians are right on Rudy, they are wrong about Huckabee. Time to turn both of them loose from contention.
