For some reason I think the end result is going to be
Edwards vs Huckabee
The worst thing Edwards has done is get a $400 hair cut. Huckabee has said stuff about sending AIDS patients to concentration camps. I know which one I'll be voting for.

Regardless of his surge in popularity in Iowa, I don't think anyone -- Republican OR Democrat OR Independent -- seriously believes that Mike Huckabee is going to be the Republican nominee.
I'm a fan of some of the things he says, but he is not "presidential" enough to win the election.
Put him up against Mitt Romney, and he'll lose.
I'm wondering if John McCain is going to be the surprise candidate this year.

I think, nice as he is, Huckabee won't stand the scrutiny of a country wary of a religiously conservative person with a fundamentalist bent back again in the White House.
Or, for that matter much of any Republican.
We don't want Bush 3
We do want competent governance, and a serious person who will respect the wishes of the middle class, and keep their religion out of government.
Keep it in daily life on a private basis, keep it in church, but don't inflict it on the nation.
Being Christian, isn't the same thing as being a fundamentalist , evangelical, Christian.

The American people should fear that a person who believes that the earth is 8000 years old and man use to ride dinosaurs could ever be anything but a joke! The evangelicals are not Christians they are a cult bent on destroying America.

Look foward to. Need a new idiot to make fun of. Bush is just too easy to mock. It will be especially sweet when Huckalung loses next November.
Heh, Huckabee..what a hick name. It's absolutely hysterical to me that the best Republican candidate is Mitt Romney. This guy did absolutely NOTHING for the state of Massachusetts while he was Gov. here, except take long vacations and screw us out of tax money by claiming he lives in Utah. Then he comes out with a program for people to turn in their neighbors if they live in MA but have their car registered with NH or RI plates. Hypocrite.

I wanna see the concession speech, and then i prefer to confirm Obama take the gloves off and say that we tried compromising with Republicans (which did no longer artwork in any respect) so we are able to locate the thank you to make what we'd prefer to ensue truthfully ensue, if we could continuously detect a loophole to do it, so be it

Yes, it's frightening to have a Bush-II running again. I only hope that people remember everything that happened with the first religious freak in the last 7 years.

I fear it more than look forward to it. Not that I fear that he will win the general election, because he won't. But his candidacy will make religion and christianity such a focal point o f the campaign that it will cause more division in the country along religious lines.

He can galvanize the 'religious right' - who are already terrified of a Hillary Clinton presidency, and are going to be pulling out all the stops to keep it from happening.
Democrats would be smart to be wary of Huckabee, but they shouldn't fear him.

Honestly, I believe they would love to run against Huckabee, since he's cut from pretty much the same mold as Bush.
