I can excuse Giulliani and Romney for some of their liberal positions because they governed in very liberal places. Huckster has no excuses for his political record however.

Nonsense. Huckabee won elections as a Republican in a state that is dominated by Democrats and has been for a very long time.

The twisted logic that Huckabee can't win a national election because he is not an arch-conservative is 180 degrees out of phase. In fact, I don't believe an arch-conservative can win a national election.

Huckabee may have the best chance of any Republican to win national election because he has cross-over appeal and is not the bought and paid-for lackey of the establishment.

I am a conservative and I don't agree with Huckabee on many points but the character assassination of him on this site is completely out of line.

Further, I don't believe Mike Huckabee needs the support of arch-conservatives to win the presidency. The country is evenly divided in its politics. Extremist positions in either direction will NOT get the job done.

If you are not proud to call him "Huckster," don't do it. Name-calling may seem cute but it is more a reflection of the character of the name-caller than upon that of the target.

Mike Huckabee is not this country's worst nightmare. That is a preposterous assertion that doesn't begin to take into account other choices running for president who could be far worse for the future of the U.S.

It is completely in-line for what should be going on during a primary. What's your dog in this Huckabee hunt?

True! But he does happen to be a significant problem [at the very least, a bad dream] to the political party he claims to represent. Last I checked, this party at least paid lip-service to limited government and steered clear of class envy rhetoric. Has Huckabee done these things?

"Mike Huckabee is not this country's worst nightmare."

Not as a person. "Compassionate conservatism" is over. President Bush tried it and ended up getting spit on and insulted by the democrats he worked with. And he didn't respond back as he should have. A leader must show his opponents his tolerance limit. And he has a Harvard MBA.

And he has a bunch of countries afraid of him like democrats should be. Go figure this out.
