The drubbing Huckabee would take in the general election would be worse than McCain’s, however.
“The drubbing Huckabee would take in the general election would be worse than McCain’s, however.”
That’s absurd:
“I am deeply disappointed the Republican Party seems poised to select a nominee who did not support a Constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage, voted for embryonic stem-cell research to kill nascent human beings, opposed tax cuts that ended the marriage penalty, has little regard for freedom of speech, organized the Gang of 14 to preserve filibusters in judicial hearings, and has a legendary temper and often uses foul and obscene language.
“I am convinced Sen. McCain is not a conservative, and in fact, has gone out of his way to stick his thumb in the eyes of those who are. He has sounded at times more like a member of the other party. McCain actually considered leaving the GOP caucus in 2001, and approached John Kerry about being Kerry’s running mate in 2004. McCain also said publicly that Hillary Clinton would make a good president.”

In the Election thay would label Huckabee a dumb hick...
They would label McCain as insaine with a temper, and mentally unstable.
You are one of the people who do ont understand how bad it will be for McNut. There are accounts of him on the stump literally imcomprehensible, I'm sure the DNC has video of him out there like this. I'ts going to be bad. I'd feel sorry for him if I didn't despise him.
Look, it is already pretty clear the Dem candidate will win in Nov. The only question is which Dem candidate (Clinton the Leftist? Obama the Leftist? Or McCain the Leftist?).
Just kidding (very slightly) on McCain. Should have called him, well, Leftist fits if one takes a close look at his history of statements and voting record, antigun, proamnesty, hinderance of attempts to free Vietnam POWs, statements like “Hillery would make a great President” (well, sure, if you are looking for someone to remake the USA ala Chavez style), etc etc.
McCain is one of those candidates that looks the best to folks who know him the least. Could say the same for Obama, come to think of it.
No, one must move beyond 08. Bush pretty much had screwed up the Repub Party that I used to know.
My thinking is that Hillery as Pres, would at least get the Repubs to unit in opposition to socialistic, tyrannical measures but McCain would push simular and be much hard for Repubs to oppose.
For sure, McCain won’t get my vote. Nor will the Democratic in all but name Gov Arnold S of Calif here.
Why not? Because I’m not going to vote for a liberal Dem and McCain is a liberal Dem. He used to be semi-conservative 6+ yrs ago, but has since moved strongly into the Dem camp. Kerry didn’t want McCain as VP for no reason.
