Mike Huckabee says he's 'very serious'
POLITICO.COM ^ | 09 NOVEMBER 2009 | POLITICO

Posted on 11/09/2009 10:27:18 AM PST by Extremely Extreme Extremist

A governor for 10 years and the winner of the Iowa caucuses in 2008, Huckabee should by all rights have a claim to be the early favorite for the Republican nomination. But former Gov. Mitt Romney, the candidate he bested in Iowa 2008 and for whom he does not attempt to contain his contempt, is riding high, credited by many Republicans as the best person to run against President Barack Obama in a down economy. And as Huckabee works his way through a 22-state tour for his new book, “A Simple Christmas,” he knows that he and the book will be almost entirely overshadowed by former Gov. Sarah Palin’s two-week barnstorming tour for her forthcoming memoir.

I made the mistake of voting for McCain... If it’s Huckabee this time, I will vote third party.

Sometimes I think the whole process is hopelessly corrupt.

“The MSM is trying to pick our candidate again. Won’t work this time.”

I agree with the first part, not so sure about the second.

Micheal Steele is still RNC Chairman, right?

Oh yeah? Well, why don't we just go back and get Bob Dole to run again? That worked out real well for "many Republicans", if I recall correctly. Or, shoot...let's just run McCain again!

"Many Republicans" picked Scozzafava. I don't trust "Many Republicans"...

Third party, that’s where the Republicans are going if they nominate the Huckster.

A good start would be ... lose the Little Rockers! That is an embarrassment!!!!!

Also, ditch the family photos. Instead of the Little Rockers, it should be the Big Burgers — with Fries!!

I’ve heard FReepers whine that Sarah doesn’t have a chance bec the media has eviscerated her. I point out that ANY real conservative who gets into the race will be dealt the same attacks...so if they are picking their candidate because it is someone who won’t be totally destroyed by the lib media then they are picking a McCainnian loser.

I now add a new element to that observation: The acceptability of MY candidate will be inversely proportionate to the media abuse heaped upon that candidate as the more the lib media hates her/him the more conservative such a candidate must be.

So, once again, I support Sarah Palin.

Huck and Romney are DOA candidates, neither of them deserves to get the nod from a party that claims to be conservative. They are welcome in the party, but neither of them should remotely be considered the “standard bearer”.

Both of them need to check their egos and realize they are a distraction to the process, not an improvement.

Romneycare does it for me! No way. I don't care about his being a Mormon,but it does dampen the enthusiasm.
