It definitely appears Gov. Huckabee doesn't have too many raving fans in Talk Radio, or among Conservatives for that matter.

...It's rather interesting that you posted this thread, since earlier today while listening to Rush, a caller from Arkansas claimed the Governor is a 'Conservative', and has a 'conservative' track record. Even when Rush begged to differ with the caller, he continued on, as in Rush's own words, 'making the case for his guy'.

Frankly, I'm a bit worried about this election, especially since the GOP appears to be all over the board with the current crop of candidates. One thing that I truly find disturbing is the penchant among nearly all the potential front runners (Romney, Huckabee, and Guiliani), to make Conservatism more marketable to the Drive By Media Elites. By that I mean straying away from the core principles that gave Ronald Reagan landslide victories during the 1980's (although foolishly, I did not vote for him, but I definitely learned my lesson over the years). If these guys would actually attempt to sit down and talk with the grass roots base of the Republican Party instead of allowing the Drive By MSM to define them, we'd probably have a repeat of those glorious days when truth trumped over spin.

...Unless the GOP gets its act together, we will wind up watching the swearing in of President Hillary Rodham Clinton on January 20, 2009.

What first got my attention about Huckabee was that his weakest support -- and strongest opposition -- comes from Arkansas Republicans. As Mr. Thompson points out in his letter posted by Hugh Hewitt, Mike Huckabee inherited a solid red state in his first term. But now after two terms of Huckabee's governorship, Arkansas is the only blue state in the South! No Democrat could have destroyed the Arkansas GOP as effectively as Huckabee did. Perhaps that's why those who know Mike Huckabee best support him least.

People like David Thompson -- a Conservative activist and evangelical Christian who witnessed the Huckabee years as a GOP footsoldier -- should be listened to. We don't need another Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter, and we especially don't need them on the Republican ticket.

All that proves is Mike has friends who will whore themselves for him.

Arkansas Freepers are for the most part, responsible for his rise in power. We campaigned for him before his liberal metamorphosis.

I, for one, can't do enough penance for ever supporting him.
