Wallace puts huck under the gun

[Timeout]

Yeah. Pipe up supporting Rudy around these threads and you’re all but called a traitor and a blasphemer.

Oh wait, they DID call me those things!

[mnehring]

Huckabee sounding like Ron Paul shot time. Time to open my new bottle of Tommy Bahama Rum to hear this.

[itslex71]

Well, penelopesire, I’ll be brave and make my opinion known. I live in NYC, was here (4 blocks from the WTC) on 9/11 and am for Rudy plain and simple. If I have to pick a #2 guy, I...uh...will have a really hard time choosing.

[AmericanMade1776]

McCain had a crisis after his Presidential hopes against President George W. Bush. I hope he handles defeat better this time.

[TornadoAlley3]

Huckalies.

[La Enchiladita]

Will McCain again take credit for the Petraeus strategy, as he did last night?

[joebuck]

Ouch, cheap shot question.

[SE Mom]

Thanks for the local report:)

[AmericanInTokyo]

lol

[rintense]

Hey Huck... I can carve a turkey but that doesn’t mean I’m ready to do open heart surgery.

[A. Morgan]

LOL BINGO!

[Shortstop7]

I dunno....it is all Romney McCain, isn’t it??? Oh, here comes the Huck.

[weston]

at least he’s being asked...Wallace is ignoring Thompson..

[CASchack]

You must be joking. Fred is the ONLY one up there speaking with conservative stances consistently and without the BS!

Despite Fred's acting credentials, I'm not sure how is laid back manner will play compared to Obama's energy and enthusiasm. The media stays at the surface, and I think the polls reflect this. Fred would be the best President--I don't know that he'll get the chance.

[HonestConservative]

I never mentioned matching it with gov’t funds.

I’m a conservative.

[AmericanInTokyo]

uh oh, here comes Goober (sorry, “Gomer”). This will be good.

[rodguy911]

My biggest fear about McCain is that every five minutes he forgets that he is supposed to be conservative Pubbed.

[Styria]

Does anyone think that maybe, if Fred had announced at the end of 2006, some of them wouldn’t have run themselves and would have supported him instead?

[tips up]

They all have their good and bad points but any of them are light years better than the 3 Dem candidates.

Regardless of who is the Republican nominee of this bunch, he will have my support in the general election.
