People wonder why Mike Huckabee would come out with a book that violates Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment, which is not to criticize another Republican, and trashes the wholly deserving Mitt Romney.
Is it that Huckabee wants to get Romney out of the way so that he can emerge pre-emptively as the GOP alternative to Sarah Palin in 2012?

No kidding. They’ve started to sound like homosexuals, black reperationists and amnesty supporters all rolled into one. Poor poor Mitt and his downtrodden supporters.
But someone who had actually spent part of his life acting on the premise that there just might possibly be a right and wrong that included something more than tolerance would be swimming upstream against a flood of media and academic bias.
Might not ring a bell with the Mormon Mitbots though ~ maybe more like the religious fellow in the Simpsons ~ Ned Flanders.
Huckabee reminds me of Lamar Alexander—a guy who made a career out of campaigning for President. No thanks.
Huckabee can forget about getting enough votes to be President. That family portrait of him and his two trouble-making sons doing their impression of Haystacks Calhoun...... yikes.
“”Lets have Sarah as maybe Senator to get some national experience.””
Yes, you’re so right - I like her, too, but she needs WAY more experience on several levels if she has presidential aspirations.
It’s horrible enough facing having BHO (gag) as president - lack of experience/ability, with values/motives detrimental/destructive for our country. The next time we conservatives/republicans have a real shot, it MUST be someone who is spot-on - really spot-on. That’s if there even exists an opportunity of ANY kind, because I worry all the time that this country won’t be the same (if at all) in four years under B. Hussein.
Huckabee should go away. He has no chance in four years.
Mike Huckabee is the first Presidential aspirant since George Wallace to be an open bigot. Huckabee’s bigotry is against Mormons. Huckabee could never be President of a country with laws against discrimination based upon race, religion or national origin.
Since when did a senator get more experience than a governor? I believe that the job of President is in the executive branch like that of governor.Senators are too compromised as mcnutts sure as hell proved.
“Lets have Sarah as maybe Senator to get some national experience.”
So governors should serve as senators now to prepare for a run for the chief executive office?
A senator may have won this election but I think that governor is still the best back ground and launching platform for a presidential run.
As I said earlier, Huckabee is positioning himself to be the “leader” of the Republicans, or the Conservatives. He has been rewarded with a show on FOX. He obviously has delusions of grandeur. I happened to be channel surfing and saw Dan Rather on his show — Huckabee consorting with the enemy — and I quickly continued on. Anyone who watches Huckabee is the same kind of person who voted for McCain in the primary.
“Neither HuckabeeIs it that Huckabee wants to get Romney out of the way so that he can emerge pre-emptively as the GOP alternative to Sarah Palin in 2012?”
Neither Huckabee nor Romney can hold a candle to Palin. In trying, they will result to liberal tactics and betray both themselves and their fan clubs. Sarah is the “real deal”. They are not.
IHS is the greatest Philosopher to ever appear on the scene.
Why don't you like IHS?
Nope.
Nice try.
Huckabee and Romney deserve each other. Can we put them in a room until they bore each other to death?
The Republican Party has to come up with something better than either one of these two, or they can kiss the next election good bye, too.
It gives him "legitimacy" and he has lost any that he ever had.
I'm going to have to call Mikie on this.
Palin is what this country needs.
I notice that many posters here are using the talking points of the GOP/DNC to try to marginalize Palin because they know that she is more electable than any of them.
Plus she is a conservative. The GOP hates that in a politician.
This guy has Huckabee completely figured out.
Before you repeat that allegation, maybe you'd like to (a) reread what I wrote, (b)consider the relationship between jumping to conclusions and Christian charity, (c) consider whether the "have you stopped beating your wife" sort of quesiton is compatible with the Christian walk, and (d) consider apologizing.
May your walk today be ever closer to IHS.
"I'm not running as the Republican view or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race.
(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
-- President Ronald Reagan
I'm very clear I think, to the people across the Commonwealth
my "R" didn't stand so much for Republican as it does for reform."
(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)
"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."
-- President Ronald Reagan
