If Huckabee and Obama are the best we can come up with then my country is further down the path to mediocrity than I thought. This is, indeed, a sobering moment for all conservatives. Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave...
yep...
This is Mike Hackabee:

“Huckabee is not presidential material
James Lewis at AmericanThinker.com doesn’t think so. Here’s this little tidbit:
“A lot of people like Huckabee in person, but he looks like a basically angry man to me.
At his pheasant hunting press show he ended up shooting his 20-gauge shotgun over the heads of the onlookers. That’s just lousy firearms safety, as any hunter knows. But Huck wasn’t sorry. He said it was his way of telling Mitt Romney just “don’t get in my way.” The press asked him if he really meant to say that, and he just said it again. He did mean it.
You just don’t do that in a presidential primary. This isn’t High Noon in Dodge City. Blasting your shotgun over the heads of the press looks like an impulsive action, by a man who allows his anger to take over his judgment.
This is the same guy who’s written a book called, “Kids who kill: Confronting Our Culture of Violence.” But he didn’t set a good example by shooting off his shotgun over people’s heads.”

“If Huckabee and Obama are the best we can come up with then my country is further down the path to mediocrity than I thought.”
If those are the nominees, President Michael Bloomberg will start writing his inaugural address.
Russ, Russ, Russ....sigh.
Ronald Reagan is dead. His time has passed and you have got to stop thinking like that.
We all loved Reagan, but we are not going to get another Reagan, for many many years to come. Let it go.
I for one, am not a Huck fan. But keep in mind that even if he’s not Reagan, he for damned sure ain’t Hillary and sometimes “just good enough”... is.
Don't worry about Huckabee's being the Pubs' nominee. He'll fall flat in NH, maybe revive in SC, then fade. And I can't see Fred's gaining traction anywhere outside the Southern states. Looks to me now as if McQueeg or Julie-Annie will be the nominee.
(Ugh!)
Conclusion: I think we'll eventually see Huck & Fred competing against one another for the VP's slot, whether it be under McQ or Rudy.
I agree, this is a sad commentary on the state of this country and the voting public.
I wonder if they will still be as happy after SC when the real candidates surface to the top?
