Its really an amazing time. The Surge is working in Iraq and a dark horse GOP candidate is challenging the conventional wisdom and both events are confounding the MSM. Good follow up today on Mike Huckabee from Chuck Norris, who has endorsed his presidential bid.

Chuck needs to lose the pro-shamnesty RINO fool and get on board the Fred train.

>>>>The first reason is Mike understands the real threat of terrorism. Sept. 11 wasn't just a bad dream – it was a nightmare reality. (We both think too many Americans have forgotten that.) Islamofascism is still a very real threat. And our war with it will not end in a draw. Extremists don't negotiate. They only want to annihilate. We will fight them overseas, or we will fight them on our streets<<<

Chuck Norris is either stupid, which I doubt, or he is compromised.

Huckabee, who supports guest worker programs and is not an immigration hard-liner, said he believes opposition to comprehensive immigration reform is 'irrational in many cases.' And he did not discount the causative factor of racism.

"If I were to say that some of it is driven by just sheer racism, I think I would be telling you the truth. I've had conversations with people that and it became very evident that what they really didn't like was that people didn't look like them, didn't talk like them, didn't celebrate ht holidays like they do, and they just had a problem with it. Now, that is not to say that everyone who is really fired out about immigration is racist. They're not."

We have confirmed that of our Mexican border crossers were 1100 folks from communist China and a few folks from North Korea and Iran. If this is understanding a real threat from extremists, then Chuck Norris needs to stay in front of a TV camera with a script and stop opening his mouth independently.

Never vote for a self-righteous ex-anything(Huckabee) or overzealous ex-prosecutor(Rudy). They are not stable emotionally and could not react rationally in a crisis situation.

[George W. Bush]

I think it's the Values Voter crowd. Chucklebee has hired 260 bloggers to blog for him according to some sources, trying to copy Ron Paul's internet campaign. It may even work. His problem is that the TV preachers and those circling around WND, Eagle Forum, and the Dobson crowd aren't big on donating to political campaigns. To really generate serious money for him, they would have to promote him at the expense of their own trinket and book sales. I just don't think they like him quite that much. I know I've said I'll support any GOP nominee except for the leftwing mayor. But Huckabee? Wow, is that unappealing. I think I even like McCain better.

Huck's nannystating and tax policy and envirowackoism and illegals-coddling puts him just about dead last with me. Duncan and Tanc are so much better, across the board, if you're looking for a conservative candidate that isn't "first-tier". But Huck has the advantage of having been a governor even if only from a basket-case state.

[LowCountryJoe]

Ah yes, the future home of any splinter group that would protest a candidate who was weak on those issues that appeal to the Values Voter...a Huckabee platform of preacher-like rhetoric with a fiscally populist, tax friendly message. No thanks, Chuck, but perhaps you’d find a better sale amongst your non-atheist Hollywood friends, if you can find any.

Holy alliteration, Batman.

Once folks figure out that Huckabee’s pro-ILLEGAL immigration he’s toast.
So—GET WITH THE PROGRAM, everybody!

[trisham]

Sorry, Chuck. I’m voting for Fred.

[Eric Blair 2084]

Much to the surrender Monkeys discontent, their politics will backfire on them.

That will be long lasting. Huckabee's "surge" is a synthetic liberal MSM lie, designed to pull votes away from Fred and Duncan Hunter. Making Rudy the nominee and open border, smoker banner Huckabee the VP nominee.

[GaryLee1990]

David Brooks from the New York Times wrote a column last week saying that Huckabee may be the GOP's best '08 bet. A couple of reasons:

• Huckabee is the most normal person running. Meaning he is funny and engaging.
• No history of flip-flopping.
• He is part of the new generation of evangelical leaders
• The same token, he likes class Rock music.
• Most in tune with the white working class
• Solid conservative

What surge? It's all media-driven, to split the vote from Fred. Huckabee barely has a million for fundraising.

That ass-kicking Bruce Lee gave Chuck must have returned and affected his judgement.
