It's early for Huckabee in the polls but I can't really see him being able to handle Hillary in the debates.

That's exactly why the MSM is pushing for Huckabee: he can't beat their Hildabeast!
This is a SET-UP, and the MSM won't attack him until they get him on the ticket....then, he's toast.
We don't need a RINO!

We can always hope the democrats nominate Mike Gravel to give the Huckster a fighting chance.

That’s why “Politico” favors him.

i really hope that republican voters can figure this out before they nominate this guy. he will be a disaster and an embarrassment for the gop. could hurt us down ticket too.

Huckabee will get clobbered in the general. The media will kill him with his Baptist-minister background (that’s only a positive for ‘Rats, ala Jimmuh Carter). ‘Pubs are going to have a tough enough road in this election without the media harping on your religion. Huck and Romney are in the same boat on that score.

I can't really see [Huckster] being able to handle Hillary in the debates.Yeah, and during the debates, I'm pretty sure he'd, like, actually have to talk to her. This tactic only works in the movies (and Anne Rice novels):

loses to Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York by 10 percentage points (54 percent to 44 percent), to Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois by 15 points (55 percent to 40 percent) and to former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina by 25 points (60 percent to 35 percent).Huckakis. Not only did he govern like Dukakis on crime, but he'll get to lose by Dukakis figures too.
To: tlb
It seems that from all the polls, Edwards does the best among democrat candidates in the general elections. If the democrats are smart then they will nominate him, because if they nominate Hillary Clinton, the meanest and most unlikable candidate to run for President in decades, she is going to lose for sure no matter who is the Republican nominee.
Of course I greatly hope that the democrats are not that smart.

Huckabee cannot possibly pull together the coalition the Republican nominee needs to win.
Of course, neither can most of the other candidates.

It’s got me wishing Jeb Bush had thrown his hat in the ring, family name & dynasty attacks be damned. At least he would unite the party, and Jeb would probably make the best president of the bunch too.
To: traditional1
Set up indeed!
Hillary can call him a tax-and-spend creationist.
Game over.
Huckabee is a slicker than a greased eel preacher who sounds great, but who is selling conservatives a bill of goods.
Hes got zero, I mean ZERO credentials as a fiscal conservative (tax-and-spender), as a law-and-order conservative (bleeding heart on killers), foreign policy conservative (has a Jimmy Carter-style approach on Iran!). Great - his populism gets him rave reviews from liberals and union endorsements *now*, but its just a setup for later when they wheel out his objectionable views to characterize him as a loony/unprepared ... so we need that?!?
Given the choice between two union-butt-kissing Democrats, the voters will pick the real one every time.

It’s a registered voter poll, but the MoE is 3. That’s a pretty well-designed poll, much better than most of the garbage the MSM has been churning out lately.

"neither can most of the other candidates"
From the comments I read here on FR I would change that comment to "neither can any of the other candidates. I'm afraid the Republican Party has become too polarized to win any national election. The days of uniting the Reagan wing and the Bush wing of the party as we did in 1980 is long past.
