Pretty pro-Huckabee review of his book. I have not read it, has anyone here?

Huckabee Have Been a Good President?

Yes.

[GOP_Lady]

I would rate the book like your screen name. :-)

[clamper1797]

Fred Thompson would have ... but thanks to Shuckabee ... we have the O-bomb

[Paladin2]

Heck NO.

Romney had the most experience, and his experience is what is needed at this time.

[eclecticEel]

Better than the current situation (like that’s so hard to achieve).

Quote: Would Huckabee Have Been a Good President?

NO!!!!! He sometimes sounds conservative, but we all know he’s not. He’s almost as blue blooded as McCain is.

[RangerM]

At this point, I’d say damn near anything would be better than “Oh, Bummer”

But we shall see.

I’m sure both Romney and Huckabee will get another chance in 2012.

OMG, What a waste of time. This Clintoon Light needs to STFU and go away.

[mnehring]

Compared to Bambi, yep. But I’ll skip the book.

I believe Huckabee was the social conservative’s grass roots candidate and I really liked the fair tax. I need to read the book to see what I think of it.

[rintense]

No.

Forgive me, but I earnestly hope not.

The knock on both Romney (whom I supported) and Huckabee is that neither could defeat McCain -- a palpably weak candidate.

Think of it this way: If they couldn't beat McCain, how were they going to beat the Democrat nominee?

[rabscuttle385]

Is McCain a conservative?

'I’m sure both Romney and Huckabee will get another chance in 2012.'

I hope not - neither are conservative, but dim lite.

Mr. Huckabee is doing a lot of whining:

"If you thought Romney would make the ticket with GOP nominee John McCain, you will think again when you read "Do the Right Thing." For example, during the 2008 campaign, Romney tried to do a leveraged buyout of the Republican presidential nomination. "That fellow raised more than $107 million that was reported on the Federal Election Commission forms, much of it from himself and his equally blessed friends, thus dwarfing my $16 million. And other candidates pulled in even more: Senator Hillary Clinton raised more than $229 million, and yet she didn't get the nomination, either because, incredibly, she was outspent by Barack Obama," Huckabee writes.

I supported Steve Forbes and then Mitt Romney. Neither of these top spenders won the nomination. Money doesn't necessarily mean votes. Don't spend your money on his book is my suggestion.

[RangerM]

I would say that either men would not have been so meek to go after Obama, his past associations, and his record (or lack of it).

[GOP_Lady]

I agree.

Hopefully boyh are now in the dustbin of history!
