Blurring the traditional lines of partisanship, conservative Mike Huckabee launched his bid for the Republican presidential nomination with a swipe at President Bush and a friendly nod to fellow Arkansan Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The former Arkansas governor assigned Bush some of the blame for failing to deliver on a 2000 campaign promise to be a uniter, not a divider and ease polarization in Washington.

Bush wants to fight and win the struggle against radical Islam.
The Democrats, Liberals, and sorry to say, some unfaithful Republicans would rather embrace or ignore radical Islam.
Yet, because Bush will not convert to Islam, he is divisive.
Huckleberry, thanks for letting us know you're another spineless jellyfish.
Good luck, not.

I personally loathe Jon Stewart and don't get why people are so enamored with him.
He attempts to diffuse logical arguments just by raising an eyebrow. I've never bought into that schlock.
I can laugh at something I disagree with, but he repulses me.

Badmouthing President Bush won't win any GOP primaries.You are so right; the last Fox poll I saw said that almost 70 percent of Republicans STILL support the president.
All these people trying to make their "bones" bashing Bush just get scratched off my list.

save money Huckabee....He's not going to spend HIS money; he'll take donations, pay himself and his friends a salary, and pocket what's left.
See Alan Keyes for pointers.

If we get a 'Rat wannabe, we got nothing anyway. Maybe this country is too stupid to know what it needs, because what it seems to want will only result in the destruction and possibly the loss of all we hold dear.

The former Arkansas governor assigned Bush some of the blame for failing to deliver on a 2000 campaign promise to be a uniter, not a divider and ease polarization in Washington. There are many things for which Bush deserves to be bashed. This is most certainly NOT one of them.

I reject the 'electorate as stupid' mentality. They weren't smart when they elected Dubya and the GOP in 2000, 2002, and 2004, and suddenly became stupid in 2006.
That's a strange worldview and it makes no sense.
If the GOP performed poorly it's because they didn't convince enough voters to support them. This has nothing to do with stupidity. If a majority is taking a poor course of action, it's incumbent on us to convince them we are right. Indeed, if they are stupid, it should be easy to convince them, right?

Mike needs to go back to Preaching. He couldn't carry the State of Arkansas in a Presidential election.

The smart money right now, and the increasing consensus among the electorate, says stick it to Bush to increase your stature among the electorate. How will this help candidates throughout the primaries? The "electorate" doesn't vote in GOP primaries, conservatives do.

"Third party anyone?"
The dims let the Liberals take over their party. Are we to let the Liberals take over ours too? And don't be fooled, there are Liberals amongst us.
HELL NO! The impostors need to be kicked out.

The president enjoys low popularity these days, with no signs of life and no signs of bouncing back.
In other words, plenty of GOPers are alienated from the President, too. They get to vote in the primaries. I doubt Huckabee will do well in the primaries for a variety of reasons, but you can't dismiss the power of crapping on Bush for political gain. Look at McCain, who has been a pest for the President since 2000 and who enjoys a strong showing in GOP primaries.

What happens to all their monies when only 1 candidate is picked next year? Does the Republican candidate get the leftover money from other wanna be candidates?
