Personally, I can't stand CATO's open borders and 'free trade' nonsense, but they are right on target on Huckabee's real weaknesses, ranging from squawking about CEOs salaries to taxes to global warming to nanny statism.

Huckabee will be Bush, but worse. I really wish he would quit being selfish and just go away. He can take Rooty with him.

When pressed by polls, Hillary will say she loves Jesus too.

Huckabee will be carter but worse.. separated at birth from WJC. He is the top flip flopper already.

Perhaps, if Jesus was a woman...
Anyways, I meant Huck loves Jésús, not Jesus...

This goes to the core of the Republican party. This guy is a liberal who if he were not a preacher would get zero traction. This guy needs to be defeated but if he takes the evangelicals with him, we need a guy whose ideas cross party lines.
If Huckabee wins the nomination, would Republicans support a Fred "Bull Moose" candidacy? I would.

I hope his rise is MSM bull. If this guy is our candidate, we will lose to the worst of Democrats.
Each day closer to the primaries, my indigestion increases.

The problem is that the Republican candidate can’t win without evangelicals, but he can’t win with ONLY evangelicals, either, and there’s enough in Huckabee’s background that will turn off fiscal conservatives and moderates. And he will absolutely lose anyone who is suspicious of too big a role for religion in public life, which is a whole lot of people who come from smaller, less mainstream faiths, and possibly some Catholics, too. That doesn’t leave him with much wiggle room at all in the general election.

If Huckabee wins the nomination, would Republicans support a Fred "Bull Moose" candidacy? I would.I would. But I will do anything to keep Huckabee from seeing the inside of the Oval Office. If he is the nominee, I will actively campaign against him in the general election. It would be better to lose an election than win and destroy the Republican party and the conservative movement.
The REAL Mike Huckabee

Huckleberry reminds me of Robert Tilton. When he is speaking I expect at any moment he will start speaking in tongues.

I don’t think Huckabee would be as good a president as Bush. But then, I think the same about all the candidates in the “top tier”. There are one or two who have the potential to be as good but likely no better. There is only one candidate who will bring Republicans a Gipper-like Administration and a Gipper-like landslide in the general election.

When the race for the primaries first started, I had no intentions to begin bashing any of the Repub candidates. The only one I had bad mouthed up until a few days ago was Ron Paul. But the more I learned about the Huckster, the more I realized what a bad mistake it will be if he gets the nomination...

He truly appears to believe that if something is a good idea it should be a federal government program.Well that sounds like 'compassionate conservatism' to me. It's like a nightmare. Eight years of an Arkansas governor I wouldn't trust my sister with, then eight years of a Texas governor who I wouldn't trust anything with, I know let's get a Republican this time...but from Arkansas. With some sort of Jesus loves government complex. This nation can't take four more years of Junior II.

The sad fact is I’d take Bush over any of the ‘top tier’.

I just can’t get into CATO because of their social liberalism.

You guys are all wrong. The Huck will pass the Fair Tax the first week of his administration, with the help of Charlie Rangel and Nancy Pelosi herself. Wait and see!
