Depends on the running mate? If it is any combination of the three stooges and/or Rudy than I’m writing in Hunter.

Piss on Mike Huckabee.

McNut is a long way from winning the presidency and what the vicious, snarling pack in the media dishes out to him will make him blow every gasket he has going. And a lot of damage can be done in 4 years thats for sure.

These are not clean wins - 3-way split to the vote and 3-way split of delegates. Huck eked out tiny leads in these states, yet outside the southeast, was way way back.

It’s a 3-man CLUSTERHUCK.

Reminds me of the pastor’s eulogy in that South Park episide, Grey Dawn: “It is sometimes hard, in times like these, to understand God’s way. Why would he allow nine innocent people to be run down in the prime of their lives by a senior citizen who, perhaps, shouldn’t be driving? It is then that we must understand, God’s sense of humor is very different from our own. He does not laugh at the simple ‘man walks into a bar’ joke. No, God needs complex irony and subtle farcical twists that seem macabre to you and me. All that we can hope for is that God got his good laugh and a tragedy such as this will never happen again.”

Parker and Stone are geniuses. God has a much better sense of humor than Sam Kinison, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor times a billion.

So who do you like this year, Giant Douche or Turd Sandwich?

well they voted for him again so maybe this resentment you were seeing is just an outlier. “Nobody I know voted for Nixon.”

“Romney gets STOMPED in the South.
Between the two of them, McCain and Huckster are getting close to 70% of the votes.”

Gimme a break. lies, damn lies and statistics ...
Romney took 30% of votes in Georgia, it was a 3-way split ...

Mike Huckabee 308,697 34%
John McCain 293,042 32%
Mitt Romney 269,299 30%

ROMNEY NOT STOMPED! HE WAS 4% from winning!

http://projects.washingtonpost.com/2008-presidential-candidates/primaries/states/ga/r/

STOMPED LOOKS MORE LIKE THIS:
ROMNEY WINS CO BY 25 POINTS ....
Mitt Romney 4,143 50%
John McCain 2,088 25%
Mike Huckabee 1,381 17%

Now show somewhere *outside* the south where Huckabee won?

I am sure that at the end of the night the total vote count for Romney nationwide will be way above what Huckabee got, even though there were many southern states in the mix.

BTW, the late-voters in MO were split Romney and McCain. McCain will win MO is the projection.

He’s better than the other two liars that are in the race. I can trust him on judges, but not the other two.

The only bright side I see to this is the RINO losing in November, a great purge of liberal RINOs from the party, and the rebirth of the Conservative Renaissance.

If the RINO wins, it will be as if the Reagan years had never existed.

“I think it’s almost funny that all the Myth fans kept saying that Fred was the stalking horse. It’s now blatantly obvious who the stalking horse was all the time.”

I’ve been saying this since the debate before the NH primary, when McCain and Huckabee double-teamed to go after Romney.

Even tonight, when given the opportunity to contrast with McCain in a Fox interview, Huckabee was ever so gentle and spoke of respect and being ‘gentlemanly’ yadda yadda...

Huckabee is simply a foil for the Christian right voting bloc, to pawn them off on a non-conservative candidate who WILL NOT WIN, so they dont coalesce around a strong CONSERVATIVE alternative to McCain.

The tricks in WV today as reported by Rush are case in point... Romney was leading with 41%, then the McCain forces wanted to deny the win to ROmney, so they switched to Huckabee, giving him the win, a narrow 53% to 47% win for Huck.

Romney was our best candidate left.

We just shot the leading horse and are putting in an old RINO nag and a donkey that think its a racehorse.

“Huck wants to change the GOP into a more liberal party because a pro life leftist like him would get laughed out of the Democratic party where he belongs.”

Sad aint it?

A joke and the #1 RINO in America get a majority of votes...

Gimme a break. Huckabee and McCain finished one and two in every Southern state. GA and MO were the only two were he was really even close. He did badly in SC and he hasn’t finished better than third anywhere besides FL.

The South has rejected his candidacy.

Best candidate? I guess you actually believe the words that Mitt Romney speaks. I don’t believe Mitt Romney’s words. I think he is a unelectable panderer.

It’s the natural order. This quote you may have heard is credited to Alexander Tyler, but it’s doubtful. Seems like it was a combination of different quotes. No one person could ever say something so brilliant...........

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with a result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence:

From Bondage to Spiritual Faith
From Spiritual Faith to Great Courage
From Courage to Liberty
From Liberty to Abundance
From Abundance to Selfishness
From Selfishness to Complacency
From Complacency to Apathy
From Apathy to Dependency
From Dependency back into Bondage”

Noe to the fools for Huck:

I’m sorry but you are not in your right mind. You’re nuts. You’ve been warned, by Rush, by the rest of the conservative movement, by other freepers, that Huckabee was not a conservative in so many ways, that his pardons and his lousy ethics and his tax hikes and big-govt spending and pro-amnesty positions and populist pronouncements and foreign policy igno-babble were the ugly reality behind a slicker than a greased salmon Clintonesque mirage.

You didnt listen.

You have voted for unqualified unconservative unelectable unserious Huckster and have delivered the nomination to John McCain.

a punishment and retribution on the Republicans and conservatives will follow from this ClusterHuck that you delivered:
#1 will be when McCain/Huckabee is our ticket.
Huckabee will embarrass Republicans on a regular basis.
#2 will be when it loses to the Clinton/Obama ticket.

Well, my vote was for Thompson if I did not vote for Huckabee. He was the least of the evils left and the last one that could receive my support. If I had gone to the next on the list, it was Paul, then McCain, and last, Romney. That is how I rate there actions in office over their vows that they were really Conservative while pushing a Liberal agenda (as Romney did.)

Mc nutts was revived by the billionaire owner of Univision from Spain{big time open borders smuck}. What does that tell you? We also have gotten an influx of RINOS in the past several years who don’t even know what Mc Nutts is really about.
