I will vote Hunter in the primary and maybe Hunter in the general. My state has been going for the Rodent Party in recent presidential elections. If my state is in play, I may have to reconsider.
I haven't separated all of the truth from the BS on the Huckster yet. There are a lot of Romneyulans spreading stuff about Huck on this forum. I agree with you about the Green Jesus issue. I think on many things he is just uninformed or wrongly informed. It looks like his core is better than the rest of the group. With good people around him he might be OK.
This is also a strategic situation. Not exactly like chess, more like Hollywood Squares (Jim, I'll take the Huckster to block please). Look at this as a first step toward re-taking the party back from the Rockefeller Republicans (aka Bush Inc.). If a republican outsider takes the White House from Bush III (Willard) we would have a better chance of moving it further to the right.
I don’t think pissant liked what I was saying. He didn’t respond to this post.
I don’t like it either. Sometimes reality bites.
I think this was before Hunter endorsed the Huckster.
Bingo. We’ve ended at the same place in our thinking. Huckabee is the outsider and the only “joker in the deck.” We don’t know what happens if Huckabee gets enough delegates to throw the convention into multiple rounds of voting. We know what we get with McCain and Romney: An establishment candidate that will continue to rip apart the Reagan coalition in favor of corporate interests and Washington interests.
