Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has won a 2012 GOP presidential straw poll in the key early primary state of South Carolina.

SC is not the tarheel state.
NC is.

And the tarheels are NOT twits.

[crescen7]

Headline is a bit misleading. This was a straw poll conducted at 1 county meeting - about 150 people in attendance. Not exactly a statewide straw poll.

Heg a bee!

[Repeal The 17th]

Hug a bee.

I am convinced that the Republican Party will choose another
moronic RINO looser, just like McStain.

America is toast, and only God can save her now.

[Yaelle]

Our voters suck.

[whatisthetruth]

Well they did re-elect Ms. Lindsay, didn’t they?

[Libloather]

[SandRat]

I stand corrected.

Anyone that supports the Huckster though IMHO is a TWIT.

[rawhide]

Absolutely no way will Huckabee get my vote. This guy is another John McCain loser. 4 more years of obamma if this guy is the nominee.

[SunkenCiv]

LOL!

[discostu]

I don’t vote for tax and spend ex-governors from Arkansas, that experiment failed once already.

[Lazlo in PA]

Boy. Can't wait to see these Progressive losers in the White House.

You ain’t from here, are ya? Any real Southron with coon dogs ain’t yit found a patriot statseman to muster with in the next election fraud cycle. But we kan tell a huckster when we sees ‘em! Yerin top ten list is full of em. We’s lookin at Rand, West, Lee, and King. But mostly praying God would raise up a patriot, not a self promotin politickin.

Took the thought right out of my mind! Any state willing to reelect Linsey Amnesty has traded their Southern Liberty in for northern carpetbagging. (yeah, I know he is from Arkansas. So are the clintons)

[Cheetahcat]

Well they elected Lindsey Graham again so,those people do not have the best Judgment.

(1) Straw polls, in any state, are virtually meaningless. That said, however, Mike Huckabee should certainly be considered a first-tier GOP presidential candidate, along with Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and (possibly) Tim Pawlenty. And maybe even Mitch Daniels; although a case could be advanced for placing him in the second tier of presidential candidates.

(2) Nonetheless, the deep, visceral hatred of the former governor of Arkansas--not from the political left, or even just from libertarians, but from conservatives also--seems utterly inexplicable.

Could it be simply because his erstwhile job description (i.e. the former governor of Arkansas) brings up some very unpleasant memories?

Can someone please tell me that “what NEW things” this Huckabee dude brings to the table???
