The whole line that Huckabee should drop out in order to stop McCain is stupid.

Huck is only in the race to siphon evangelical votes from Romney and play king maker. Perhaps a look at the VP spot.

He's not Presidential material.

Hey, just look at his dog hanging fat sons. Of course he should stay. He must have been an excellent father to raise such fine boys. I am sure he would do a great job.

I’m a Utah Mormon and I like both Huckabee, but more I like McCain and Gulliani.

The only one I don’t like is Romney. I guess I get beat up on this board for being a Mormona and a McCain supporter.. the worst of both worlds I guess from a Freeper standpoint.

The only people who think it is stupid are those who KNOW it is true. Who has a better chance to beat McCain?

A folksy Minister with a nanny state political agenda, no political organization, no money and no support anywhere in the Conservative media who has made stunning gaff after gaff who polls at the bottom almost everywhere in every poll(

or a articulate successful business man and former Govt with a $250 million war chest, a strong political organization and the backing of virtually the entire Conservative media Establishment who is ahead or within a few points of McCain in virtually every poll?

I loathe Huckabee too and I’m not a Mormon. Trust me, lots of people loathe Huckabee, and - if McCain wins the nomination, even more people are going to loathe Huckabee.

In a head-to-head matchup with Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, Huckabee wins handily, 60 percent to 41 percent.

Sounds like Chicago-style voting, at least for HRC's last 1% or so.

Indeed it is:

Huckabee’s “theological background”? That’s a bit of a stretch, I think.

Huckleberry is only staying in to help McLame, hoping for the VP spot.

And using this garbage that portrays Mormons as being as hypersensitive to supposed slights of the minutiae of their religion as Moslems is ridiculous.

If we were to take that at face value we'd have to also believe Mormon men have no testicular fortitude, and that's just not been their reputation heretofore.

“Utah’s Mormons loathe Huckabee”

I do not loathe Huckaliar, I just find him unpalatable as a POTUS candidate. I even find him unpalatable as a candidate to be Juan McAmnestys’ VP.

Gee, no bias against Mormons in that title. A true Mormon or Jew or Catholic would loathe no person.

Which McCain are you voting for?

The McCain of 2003 who was for the war.

The McCain of 2004 for the war against how it was run.

The McCain of 2005 for the war but wanted 250,000 more American “boots on the ground”

The McCain of 2006. Fathers the Baker Commission. Wants to cut a political deal with Iran and Syria so the USA could slink away from Iraq

The McCain of 2007. Presidential Campaign dead in the water. McCain has surrogates fraudulent start claiming HE was the real father of the Surge strategy.

Will the real John McCain please stand up?

the Southern Baptist preacher best known for his nice-guy persona.

Only idiot liberals like Politico could say this with a straight face.

As it turns out, this isn’t the first time that Huckabee has rubbed Utahans the wrong way. In the summer of 1998, then-Arkansas Gov. Huckabee, along with fellow national church leaders, attended the National Southern Baptist Convention in Salt Lake City.

At the time, the decision to hold the event in the shadow of the Mormon Tabernacle was viewed by many Mormons as an insulting stab directed at the very heart of the LDS church.

If the Methodists or the Greek Orthodox church held their convention next to a Baptist center, would the Baptists see it as "as an insulting stab directed at the very heart of the church"? I don't think so.

Nothing more important then life according to you

Then why are you supporting John McCain who voted for Federal Funding for Stem Cell Research?

Why are you supporting the guy who Senator Rick Santorum said actively working against the Senate GOP for the last 8 years every time it was trying to bring up votes on Pro Life and other social Conservative issues?

We fear Romney may betray us, we Know McCain/Huckabee will

some 2,000 “messengers” of the Southern Baptist Convention went door to door in Utah and proselytized, “armed with questionnaires and their personal belief in Jesus Christ as their savior.”

Beginning to think that Carter, Clinton and huckleberry are the rule not the exception, re Southern Baptists.

Amazing. After listening to Christian Conservatives bitch for decades about the bigotry expressed towards them by the Republican Establishment based wholly on their religious values to now watch so called “Christian” Conservatives turn right around an express the same reason the Republican Establishement used against them, towards Romney.
