As one who has either sat in an audience or on press row for 56 years...... I must say that the performance delivered by Huckabee last night at the Illinois Family Institute was unrivaled. Regardless of what they say about television and the modern communication arts, a successful presidential candidate today still must be able to deliver a stem-winder to a crowd with reason, humor and good English usage.
The year 2008 was definitely not the right time for Huckabee........
But the country has undergone a great change for which Huckabee's views will be warmly welcomed. Not due to him but to Obama. By which I mean Obama's rough-hewn leftism. The country has reacted greatly--gone to the right on social issues (witness the polls showing more Americans identify with pro-life than pro-abortion)... and Huckabee's style... if he will drop the 2008 need to lard us with spending programs to prove his "moderation"...
Pretty soon the left-wing media smear is going to get wise and switch from savaging Palin and Glenn Beck to going after Huckabee. They'll have a much tougher time with him-as they had with Reagan. And they'll have to do it without David Letterman who has been a leading artillery weapon .......
I think it's becoming Mike Huckabee's time. Romney's too smooth, has gone through too many contortions from Massachusetts to now to be credible. Pawlenty may be all right but in many ways he seems far less experienced than Huckabee... If Huckabee continues along this vein, he's going to be the candidate to beat for 2012 because of all of them only he can use his strong base on the social issues without being self-conscious as the others would.
From what I heard last night, America is thirsting for his message. I want to hear much more.

It was “Dole’s turn”, then it was “McCain’s turn”.
BS... it’s never anyone’s “turn” just because they’ve been in the party or in the senate for a long time.
I’m with you.
NFW.
Until the pubbies close their primary voting to only registered Republicans, the media scum will work to nominate whom they want ... and you cna be sure these pond-scum in obamedia will not allow Sarah Palin to be the pubby nominee.
I am sure he is a fine man....but we do not need another “performer”.
We need a ruthless SOB.
Bullshit! But if you want four more years of obama, go ahead. On second thought, go with JohnMcCain again. He is a sure thing.
“So the MSM is ALREADY trying to pick the GOP candidate”
Yep, they are picking the weakest candidate.
Dirty crap? Huckabee? Isn't he the devil's brother or something (I hope the NY Times is listening)?
SP’s going to be a kingmaker in 2012.
She needs to be the Veep to a Pres selected by her.
That’ll give her 16 years in DC to clean it up.
Lets see how well the Preacher does outside of the Bible Belt. He doesn’t have a chance outside of the Happy Clappy brigade, and will stealvotes from Palin, giving Romney victories.
Nannybee needs to go away and make room for Palin, same with Mitt. Palin will easily pwn Obama.
Wow. I went to find the original, un-Photoshopped version and discovered... it wasn’t. Eww....
Oh by the way, guess who the author of this statement is:
"I am pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. I oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc."
psst. You're posting on his website.
Awhh shucks. Let’s all vote for Mikie because “we like him”...LOL.
Very lonely...
NOPE Wont ever happen. No more RINOS!
He couldn't even carry Arkansas..

I agree and think this is pretty good scenario.
Huckabee is a socialist. He’s really no different than the current socialist in the White House.
MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Right on.....no more arkanas Gov’s PLEASE...
