I welcome a strong challenge from Huck. If the two top GOP contenders for White House are conservative moral Christians, then what does that tell wanna-be’s like Guilianni, Gingrich, McCain and their ilk.
He’d be the undisputed frontrunner in lead-off Iowa, where he won by nine points in 2008. ..........................That was 2008, this is 2012. Different players are entering the scene.
Sorry Mike. You have your own TV show and you are “left out”??
Maybe the fact that people aren’t watching or caring should be a clue or a hint about a Presidential run. Don’t.
You could always try to bag a caribou, it might help.
Please don’t Huck, your pardon will sink you. Shadow groups from Mitt will make commercials, don’t waste your donors’ $.
Ok, I’m on the board, selecting a new CEO for my very large corporation. This corporation has great potential, but also huge problems and it’s very complex.
In looking for a new CEO, do I focus my search on experienced CEOs and executive management types currently employed, (Govenors, Senators, Congressmen)? Or would it be wise to look at someone who has been semi retired, and only involved in the business in a commentary capacity?
I think Glen Beck said it best. Do you damn job, and do it well. If you do, people will ASK you to run for President.
Huck wants to be President to salve his bruised ego, he wants it because it will make him feel good.
Meanwhile, we have some outstanding candidates who have done their jobs VERY well - Chris Christie and Sarah Palin come to mind.
Huck - just please go away and get a hug from your Mommy.
I hope the party is smart enough not to allow the media to pick the ‘forces to be reckoned with’ in the GOP primaries this time.
I respect him - but not enough to want to see him run for president. He should stay on TV as a prattling-head.
"Do it the old fashioned way. Earrrrrrn it."
If you want open borders you will love Mike in the Whitehouse.
I would like to see Huckabee run again. I did not look
closely at him last time, but would be interested in
choosing between he and Palin. Palin comes with a huge ego which I don’t see in Huckabee, but Palin seems to be more
forceable. She at the same time seems like a more revengeful person. But we need a Christian who will stand up for Christian Americans. I think the thing that put me off on Huckabee in the first place is the connection of Baptist and President Carter. It makes one wonder if we want another Baptist for President... being a Baptist I never understood Carter’s thinking on Christianity.
If Huck wants my respect, he shouldn’t run for president in ‘12, and he should tell us who was bankrolling him to be #2 in ‘08.
Huckster is DannyH !
I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest. Rodney Dangerfield“His weekly Fox show, thrice-daily radio program and Grisham-like ability to crank out a book-per-year has given him a direct media presence akin to Palin’s – but without the sky-high negatives.”
A media presence akin to Palin’s? Are you kidding me?
When Palin is on the TV or radio, people actually tune in...
"I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I'm smart and I want respect! "
My take:
Huck is still a republican.
He’s not my ideal man for the top job.
But the Politico article is not doing any good for Huck. The Politico guys are painting him as “whiny”.
So, to Martin and co.: STFU! Your article is unfairly condescending to a Republican.
To Huck: Grow a spine and never use LSM like Martin and what his name as your apologists! They mean ill to you and to us, all conservatives.
I like Huck. My standards for a president have gone way down. I didn’t know who he was last time. I’ve seen enough of the TV show now to understand why some people like him so much. He’s... affable. I don’t think he’d be great, but I think he’d manage the levers of government in a reasonably competent manner, and he has good core principles.
I like Palin too. If McCain had not turned out to be such an enemy to us, I would probably have supported him. In fact, I DID support him against Bush in 2000. I thought his ideas about campaign finance reform were great until he was actually allowed to implement them. I like Romeny too, and Newt. They all have baggage. We may be forced to pick from a flawed field again. But we are all flawed.
