But “influential conservatives” don’t have a care in the world about the 3rd party that is inevitable and will materialize if Giuliani wins the nomination. ROFLOL! Must be all those “influential conservatives” are actually Country Club liberals who are not going to have “their” party stolen by some hayseed from Arkansas! And no, I think Huckabee is ALMOST as bad a candidate as Giuliani although he is to the right of Rudy IMO.
Finally, IMHO, anyone who says, "I will NEVER vote for (fill-in-the-blank 'non-100%-perfect' Republican) and will vote third party instead" when it means helping install Hillary in the White House with a Dem Congress should be taken out behind the woodshed and beaten severely with a tire tool. If you'd do that to your country, don't call yourself an American.
My vote goes to Hunter or Thompson period.I won’t vote for lib-lite rooooty under any circumstances and if the beast gets in well that would be the fault of the power brokers would it not? The republican party needs to quit running these rinos and run conservatives.Quit pissing off/on the base.
If Huckabee lasts long enough to become a focus of tough questions, I expect he will lose whatever luster he has.
He isn’t liberal enough on social issues to attract the left and he is too liberal on immigration, spending and class warfare rants to attract the right.
He might come away with 10 percent of a general election — less than Perot did — and I think he is enough of a Republican not to run just to split the vote.
Oh, puhleeze, like the Huckster is significant enough to form a third party! Only in the wet dreams of people like Arthur Sulzberger.
