Drudge Flash: DEMS HOLD FIRE ON HUCKABEE; SEE 'EASY KILL' IN GENERAL ELECTION

Or does the Dems lack of interest in Thompson reflect his irrelevance? More likely their fear of him. Kinda reminds me of the way they responded to Reagan actually. People with principles freak out 'Rats and RINOs.

That doesn't hold water to me - they ignore Huckabee because they know they can destroy him in the general election, but they ignore Thomspn because they think he's a legit threat? It doesn't seem like you can have it both ways.

Perhaps of interest

[ejonesie22]

Wow

I am shocked I tell you shocked!

Go Huck Go...

[spectre]

We've been predicting this. But because Drudge says it, it's the gospel? LOL.

The Huckabee discipes want us to believe that the Huckster can beat out the Rats? Hell, he can't even get most his own party to support him..

Iowa is a blimp in the radar screen.

Adjust to not having a conservative in the White House for the next 4-8 years.

I guess that is ok with you of course...

[Miss Didi]

LOL I would be ROFLMAO but, this is the GREAT WITCH and I’m waiting to make sure she is really gone!

I have a nice bottle of champagne waiting in the wings...keep the faith!

[ejonesie22]

Reprogramming the “Huck-o-matic” automatic posting software...

[SpringheelJack]

Why is the DNC divulging letting know their plans to Drudge if they can crush Huckabee that easily? They should let the Republicans elect him and then they crush him.

The DNC isn't, but there are some guys in every operation who can't keep a secret. Drudge quotes only one guy from the Dem side.

[f150sound]

I’m voting for Huckabee. The choices are Huckabee or a dithering, lying, pro abort which all the other possible nominees (Romney, McCain, Thompson, Giuliani) are.

[Liberty Valance]

Yep.

[Miss Didi]

We are at WAR, and need a candidate who is ready to be CIC, understands the enemy, here and abroad. Can be ruthless and an SOB.

I'm with you, Roses...I want a Commander-in-Chief not a Preacher-in-Chief.

[ejonesie22]

Um...

Ok...

[Miss Didi]

Rick Santorum would make a great VP!

[SpringheelJack]

Our bench is awfull thin. I can’t even figure out who we have to run for VP.

Bill Owens maybe, Mark Sanford.

[shrinkermd]

Well, he is not my candidate as of yet, but he has been governor for 10 years. That surely compares favorably to any of the other candidates regardless of party.

It has been rare to elect someone directly from the Senate—JFK and Warren Harding being the exceptions. Remember, President Johnson was VP before being President. Also to be noted, that only JFK and Harding were were elected directly from the Senate. So Hillary and Fred T are swimming against the statistical tide. Ditto for Giuiliani.

There have been many Presidents who were previously Governors—Reagan FDR, Teddy Roosevelt and Cal Coolidge are excellent examples.

Of course there are exceptions—Herbert Hoover and Ike were never elected to public office before they ran for and were elected President.

So there is room, but Governor’s usually do better than members of Congress or those who are simply celebrities.

[bdeaner]

Oh please — do you think the DNC would plant this info with Drudge if they weren’t afraid of the Huckster? This is all calculated.

I completely disagree with the majority of your opinions on this board. I think Huckabee would CREAM Hillary.

[SHEENA26]

As I stated before, the MSM has never, EVER been so in love with a bible thumping, ex-baptist preacher republican. It’s pretty evident why. It’s also why I’m suspicious of the poll numbers.

[jveritas]

I think all the Republican candidates except for lunatic and defeatist Ron Paul will make good to excellent President and they are all vastly better than the socialists, abortionists, and defeatists on the democrat candidates running for President.

I asked before, if Fred Thompson is not the nominee of the Republican Party what would the freepers do? Thankfully most said that they will support the nominee no matter who he is.

[SHEENA26]

“I think Huckabee would CREAM Hillary”

You’re completely delusional.It would be a landslide for Hillary. It’s a setup.

[Hoodat]

This is all that matters here:

Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) – 37% (99 press releases)
Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) – 28% (74)
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) – 24% (64)
Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN) – 8% (20)
Governor Mike Huckabee – 2% (4)]

This ought to show you that Romney is the one the Democrats fear most.
