A lot of Hucks voters were actually democrats who had changed their registrations to Republican, according to anecdotal evidence. But the dems only show their voters by percentages in Iowa, we do not get the numbers. The dems pushed Huckster, so that the nations swing voters will assume that the religious right is trying to take over the country.
Pretty shrewd planning.
And then there is the Arkansas connection. Hillery could very well have planned to lose in Iowa to get this dynamic rolling, with large numbers of Hillery supporters registering as Republicans to vote for Huckabee.
As usual, when the Clintons are involved, we can always assume the worst, and those assumptions are usually right.
Iowans are not dumb, but the consensus is that they are. Iowans may have simply followed a game plan with Bill Clinton calling the strategic shots in the background.
Oh, stop with the Hillary runs the world scenario already.
I don't think the number of Republican voters compared to the number of Democrat voters bears this theory out.
Hmmmm... Verrrry interesting.
I guess I was really bamboozled then. I thought he was capable as an administrator and was impressed with his family, being nice-looking was a plus not just with me, people in general, know he had a couple negatives, flip flopping, and feared that he couldn't win the general because he is Mormon but for no other reason. I chalked some of it off to he had a fine line to walk when governor of MA. I've no love lost for Planned Parenthood, but they aren't only about abortion; they do provide health services to women, not that I'd ever use one for anything or send my family to one except for services other than abortion if there were no other options.
Anyone who knows anything about Mormons knows that they are solidly pro life.
restornu, glad you have your chin up and a sense of humor. Do you support him just because he is one of your own or because of other qualifications as well? You know I am not a Mormon, but I will say this. Obama's supposed Christian religion is a heck of a lot scarier to me at this point than the parts of Mormonism I don't accept. Mormons are at least predictable that they are for America. Obama is one scary wild card, looks good, but what is he really about?
