Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a 2008 GOP presidential candidate turned media personality, is looking at another bid for the presidency, this time backed by ministers eager to put an evangelical into the White House.
Huckabee will test the waters when he returns home to Little Rock, Ark., December 12-13 to address the Arkansas Renewal Project, part of evangelical organizer David Lane's American Renewal Project. Huckabee had the support of pastors in his 2008 fight against eventual winner Sen. John McCain.
Among the potential candidates looking at a GOP bid, Huckabee is closest to the pastors. He is a social conservative who can quote the Bible as easy as former President Bill Clinton.
According to reports, pastors from Iowa and South Carolina — two key political states early in the GOP primary season — are meeting with Huckabee during the convention to urge him to run....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
One Dope From Hope was enough.
nope
No. Christians need to vote for a real conservative like Cruz.
DOA unless he runs an extremely clever campaign. The liberals will try to scare the Jews with visions of “Christian Zionists” looking to repeat the Holocaust, aside from the usual lies about putting the USA on the road to “fundie theocracy” and thus squeezing out the Catholics, ad nauseam . . .
UGH!!!!
Reagan's message was easily more positive than Carter or Mondale, Clinton more than Bush and Dole. Bush more than Gore or Kerry and Obama more than McCain or Romney. There's plenty to complain about in America, but the electorate prefers the guy with the positive message. It's why a good candidate will prevail over Hilary, but a whiner will lose.
lets see, we live I a celebrity adoring society, where we pick presidents because of their charisma and looks, and they want to foist on us the most boring, wimpy looking politician in decades.
yup, their going to set us up for another loss.
What makes you think that the Democrats wouldn’t be secretly supporting him in the primaries, just like with Akin?
This is how the GOP-e wins. They back one candidate in the primary (Gov Christie) and send out collaborators to encourage scores of conservatives to run (divide TP and conservative voters). How can conservative win GOP primaries if they field 5 plus candidates and the GOP-e fields one? Conservatives remind me of the ancient Greeks (rally around individual heroes) and the professional politicians are like the Romans (machine like). History kind of favors the war machines over the clusters.
If something isn’t done to head it off, there will be five or six, or more candidates who will persent themselves as conservative. A proven, vote-splitting formula for electing RINOs as the GOP presidential nominee.
I don’t think such a thing. Not sure what I said that implied that I did.
Dear God! Please no!
arrrgggghhhhh
Nice looking kids there, Mike - vertical stripes are so slimming. Not sure which one tried to sneak a loaded gun onto an airliner and which one tortured and killed a dog, but I’m sure they’re a couple of fine boys, and it was all a big misunderstanding.
I have met him in person and was not impressed. His wife is great, him not so much. Somehow this idea needs go be stopped in it’s tracks NOW. There is too much at stake to be fooling around.
Who would lose more weight, Huckster or Christie?
the southern rino is as large as the northeastern rino, despite different natural habitats. Scientists explain this consistency of body habitus on the basis of deep psychological factors related to a self-centered personality that results in difficulty of being satiated, rather than on the basis of sugary or fried foods.
