More on Huckabee
10 comments | Permalink
Matthew Anderson has a Huckabee roundup, along with a quote from Markos, the hyper-partisan leftist and the most popular blogger:
Update: From what I understand, one tip on reading polls is to ignore Gallup and Zogby and only pay attention to Rasmussen (the only poller right now screening for likely voters). Rasmussen has Huckabee moving into the top tier in Iowa--and with Brownback out, those votes should now go to Huckabee too. Dean Barrett has more.You want to know who the strongest GOP candidate would be, the one that would make me lose sleep at night?
Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
The guy is a scary good politician and the more Republican voters see him around the country, the more support he’ll get.

I wish you guys wouldn't write stuff like this. It gives people like me hope that once in my lifetime there might be a candidate for president who would actually represent my views. This is America! It doesn't happen here!
The presidential race for conservatives will be won or lost in the primaries. If conservatives get lulled into believing that Guiliani has it wrapped up, they are overlooking an important part of the process.
Hillary and Guiliani don't have all that much different in the issues that are important to Conservatives.
I agree that now that Brownback is out, his supporters will turn to Huckabee. Granted there weren't that many Brownback supporters, but you can expect that Tancredo, and Paul dropping out is right around the corner.
That will leave Romney, Guiliani, and Huckabee. Look who looks appealing now! Conservatives are afraid of Romney because he is Mormon and they are not sure whether his conservative positions came about through expedience. At least we all know where Guiliani stands. He stands slightly to the right of Hillary Clinton. Not much there for conservatives.
It's the primaries folks! I believe Hillary has a better chance of beating Guiliani than Huckabee as many conservatives will drop out of the voting if it comes down to Hillary and Rudy.
3 Months before the primaries. I expect Huckabee to gain momentum. And for conservatives, he is the best candidate they have.
BTW, I didn't mention McCain and Thompson. Too many negatives to overcome. Too much record to filter through for mud-slinging by opponents. Too much the Beltway insiders etc.
It's Guiliani, Romney and Huckabee. For conservatives, the choice seems clear to me.
I am curious as to why Wayne Grudem and Bob Jones III would endorse Romney, instead of Huckabee. My best guess is they just don't think Huckabee can actually win the presidency (or maybe it's his inexperience in foreign policy?).
I think Huckabee is the man for conservative Christians to support. I can not believe that people like Wayne Grudem have chosen to support Romney. Grudem's argument is crazy.

Huckabee is so much more compelling than Romney. I don't understand these Christian leaders choosing to throw their lot in with Romney.
Huckabee has won me over. To be honest I was ready to be disillusioned with the Republican field, but Huckabee has given me some hope.
The Left-Wing blogger you quote is absolutely right. I think Hillary would be scared of Huckabee. He wouldn't go on a hate campaign against her. He speaks plainly. He isn't an angry conservative. He makes sense. He cares about the poor. He cares about the unborn.
I'm going to go write him a check right now. I am so serious.
Your sources suggest that Huckabee is both in far-left and far-right field? Really?
I'm going to have to look into that one...
Ron Paul, 2008!!!
JT,
FYI, I think you meant Dean Barnett, not Dean Barrett.

JT, are you any less "hyper-partisan" than Kos?
