#1 Gee. Did you really stay at a Holiday Inn or did you just catch the commercial re-runs? What an absurd comment, "I've never played football past high school, but I did get the Chiefs to beat the Titans (on the second try) in Tecmo Bowl 3 last night."

gov. huckabee, how would you have handled Turkey, a NATO country, not allowing troops to pass through to Iraq? Considering the UN as a way to sway world opinion, what is your take on the current makeup of the Human Rights Council and Council for Economic Development?

Can anyone clue me in on why o'shuckabee is anything other than hype?

#2 The media's building him up, as they know most GOP'ers won't vote for him...

#3 These are the fruits of a Republican strategy to court, humor and appease the moron vote for the last thirty years. The people supporting Huckabee did not even vote before they were encouraged to do so.

If this election - but not the war, pray God - is lost thanks to the moron wing of "the stupid party", Republicans need to take a long, hard look at jettisoning the Huckabee element and adopting a Clintonian triangulation for 2010. There are plenty of Reagan Democrats who would like to jump from the Democratic party controlled by unions and other interests.

#4 There is a guy that coudl pull in the "Reagan Democrats". Fred Thompson. The media has buried him and pushed Huckster.

I still cannot belive the numbers of peopel going for him that havent examined anything other than he is a bapttist minister and pro life. His record sucks, his policies are a joke, he is an open borders drag queen (dressing to be somethign he isnt), and he is a nannystater of the worst sort. He is an empty suit when it comes to ideas. "Women submit to your husbands" he said - yeah THAT's going to go over big against hillary.

Our only hope is that the bubble bursts quickly as people see him for what he is: a LOSER in the general against Hillary.

#5 So now we know that the Huckster reads Vanity Fair:

Or at least the index card provided by his aides.

#6 Dems like the Huckster Bee because he is an easy takedown in November. The dems look at politics as war, and the republicans look at politics like monkeys f*cking a football.
