Huckabee isn't going away

[goRPaul]

Huckabee's fundraising is going very well this month. He might reach $1 million for the month, and $2-3 million for the quarter, and be in good shape for the primaries. I've been seeing a lot of his campaign advertising online, including this site. His polling is going up, and people generally like him.

I don't mind Huckabee becoming more relevant in the race. I welcome it, as we welcomed Thompson's entrance. I think Huckabee will thin out some of the support from Thompson and McCain more than anyone else.

Ugh... Another Huckabee thread...

 

[werdd]

He cant touch us.

 

[KewlRonduderules]

This needs to be moved! Huckleberry can be dealt with elsewhere. Not here.

I think we are doing just fine.

Save the Halloween antics for Halloween- Scare people then.

GO post in general politics, and Huckabee is going no where unless he grassroots gets moving they won't even be able to vote for him.

 

[davidhperry]

He's a political opportunist and people will see that if he gets more attention.

Plus, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, intellectually speaking:

you guys are forgetting...that we actually WANT Huckabee to do well. We want him to be a 5th contender...to further split the pro-war vote. We know he will never be a contender, because he is a trick pony, but he'll siphon $$ and support from the front runners

I think that the neocon media will toss Rudy and Mitt aside for Huckabee. I saw that during the debate.

yeah so what. huckster might raise 1M because of 50M worth of free publicity that the MSM has been giving him to try elevate anyone they can above RP as the true darkhorse.

it aint gonna work...now please stop posting threads for him....

 

[Zydeco]

I say, go Huckabee! The more neocons in this thing, the better.

 

[JoshLowry]

Keep splitting the pro illegal war vote.

Disagree.

I generally agree with the "split the neo-con pro-war vote as many ways as you can" philosophy, but this guy gives Conservative Christians who just want to feel good about their vote a home without going to a lot of trouble with researching the issues.

I think Huckabee out of the race helps us.

yes but those Conservative Christians are almost unilaterally pro-war, so they wouldn't be going into our camp anyways. And an uber right-wing person that Huckabee is trying to play is not an electable candidate.

Flavor of the day. Whom will they bring out at the last minute?

That's what I thought originally. I was wrong. He's here to stay.

 

[Tina]

UGG!! I had to listen to him for eight years in my state. Please quit posting about him.

while he was flying around to the family reunion in the state plane, on your money....

 

[Akus]

He cant touch us.

god thanks, now I got that stupid MC Hammer song in my head...

Yup. He wasn't very well liked by the time he left office. New guy is no better.

I am actually concerned that he is doing well. He is not taking votes from Rudy McRomney. He is taking the votes from US. He is a former Baptist preacher who talks about honor and integrity. That attracts people even if it's a complete bluff. He is a threat to us before he is a threat to the "top 3". A religious man who feels that we need be in Iraq for honor, vs a religious man, who said we are prancing around the world, inciting anti-americanism.

Remember, many people think that we are hated for our freedoms and we did the right thing by going to Iraq if only mismanaged.

So no njandrewg, I cannot agree with you.
