Oh yeah, I agree, McCain has no shot. I just found myself hating him somewhat less tonight. I wanted Romney to stuff him on the waterboarding question, but he didn’t do it. However, he is useful when sticks up for the war in Iraq.
As for Romney, I think he would be fine as a candidate. Right now, he’s not my guy though. Too many liberal positions. For me, the answer to his question, “so, should I have to ensure that people I hire are not illegals?” YES! Of course, he’s asking it to Rudy, so what do you expect, he should have asked it to Tancredo. That’s why Verizon, Wal-Mart, Tyson Foods, all these big companies get away with hiring thousands of illegals, through contractors and sub-contractors. There were illegals working on a Wal-Mart project? Shazam! We didn’t know anything about it. Goll-ee. Yes, Mitt, you should have thought about your landscaper using illegals. However, it does seem as if Romney is more prime-time than some of these guys. His ad looked like it was actually done by professionals. Some of those 30 second videos were laughably bad. I’ll take Romney over Huckabee, though.
Yeah, Mr. Huckabee may not recover from the illegal alien scholarship issue. If he can't understand that his program rewarded children for their parents' crimes, then he's not fit to be president. I'm willing to support the space program somewhat, but Tom Tancredo hit him pretty hard on the Mars mission question. On the death penalty question, there was a simpler and better answer. If one believes what Jesus said when He said "I and My Father are One," then Jesus would approve what God approved. In the Old Testament, God approved execution as punishment for many crimes, and there is no conflict between Jesus and God, The Father. He's a good speaker, but he may fade after tonight.
