See here.

Although, to make it perfectly clear, I personally don’t want Mike Huckabee anywhere near the White House.

support McCain no matter who he picks….so you may have picked a nit with SOME but not this person.

As one of the die-hard economic conservatives around here, I really wonder half the time how much better a McCain/Huckabee ticket would be on economic issues than Obama and whatever stuffed suit he picks to hide behind. After all, for one to truly be “better”, one would have to at least not completely reek in regards to economic issues.

The difference here is, with a ticket having a candidate and an heir apparent, neither of whom are very good on economic issues, how much damage could be done to economic conservatism in the long run by electing such a ticket rather than by repudiating it at its face…

You should have stopped before the “Surprise” part just to see how serious people took you. That would have been even more interesting.

Especially if he or she will make a speech in the Convention in September denouncing his former beliefs and put up a SOLID case why all the pro-choice voters must turn into “pro-life” for the sake of innocent fetuses.

Then I read the whole thing and I almost didn’t finish before I launched into my obligatory why Clinton is to the right of Huckabee and I wouldn’t vote for McCain/Huckabee if they were running against Karl Marx (which they are). I however can understand someone defecting because of the pro choice issue because I would certainly defect over having a populist on the ticket. Interestingly maybe to you, I would not object to Lieberman. Lieberman would signal to me a one term deal. I have narrowed it down to two people who I would absolutely not vote for McCain if he picks-Huckabee, and limp wristed Linsday Lohan Graham. Oh and recommended.

If Huckabee is on the Ticket, Obama will win in a land slide, the west will be all Obama.

Huckabee has ticked off Millions of voters with his use of Religion as a weapon. Huckabee has forever disqualified himself from every reaching the white house.

Sorry but Independents aren’t going to go for Huckabee. Remember that this phase of the election depends on the 35% of the population who are independents. I don’t think Huckabee brings that. Plus his populism is liberalism in a church. And I also don’t like the idea of a preacher as a President. It’s a disqualifier for me.

They sent their minions to vote for Huckabee and McCain during the primaries. This is the kind of talk they just love to hear. Just like McCain’s “$5 million” quote, they will leave off the disclaimer.

Their second worst nightmare is a McCain/Romney ticket.

Their worst nightmare was a Romney/Rice ticket.

Privately, the Democrats are whispering ABR.

Good we still have a sense of humor. Look how the Democrats are suffering.

Given the Obama alternative, especially when threats are caused by columnist rumors about the VP.

I favor coulmns that insist that McCain choose a conservative that is strong on defense, life, the economy and/or judges, but to threaten to let Obama win….that kind of poor judgment needs to be called out.

and I will

Why is Obama mocking McCain’s wife, Cindy? She owns the houses, not John. So where is the universal outcry for Obama attacking Cindy for real estate investments that her husband (see: pre-nup) has no knowledge or involvement in?

I am serious. The Mac campaign should be hitting back on this subject, and hitting back hard.

From MichelleMalkin.com:

RNC’s new radio ad: McCain’s a bigger Hispanderer than Obama!

Now, we all know Michelle is un-enthused by McCain, but the ad, “Commitment v. Rhetoric,” speaks for itself.

Excerpted from the ad:

When Hispanics needed a friend in Congress during the immigration debate… Who stood up? Who spoke out?

John McCain.

Senator McCain worked with Republicans and Democrats alike to form immigration legislation.

And while the bill didn’t pass, only McCain demonstrated a real commitment to reforming immigration in a way that honored our laws as well as our immigrants and traditions.

Seriously, I’ll either not vote or probably throw my monies and support to Barr/Root if this becomes my choice.

I like many a Huckabee supporter (heck, my own son liked him); it’s he himself I have issues with. I thought his HuckPAC was possibly a good thing and didn’t doubt for a minute part of his staying in the race was for more “primetime” time leading to better speaking fees and/or a t.v. show (and wallah!, he’s got one debuting on FOXnews later this year?!?).

However, he’s got a mean-spirited streak, rather, a vindictive streak in him… and I find that unsettling. “Club for Greed”, latest “(damn) Romney” for VP below the belt campaign, etc. etc.

Nope, I will have to take my name off McCain’s rollcall of supporters (gulp! there I said it, I fell into McCain’s camp visavis the Georgia issue) -and- stop sending money to his and the RNC Victory PACs.

We’ve already got one party candidate whose got that “It’s all about me” smugness — I don’t want to see it over on the GOP side, even if it’s for the VP slot.

Obama is without question an incompetent candidate, who should be running for 8th grade class secretary.
And If you really believe if he is elected the world will come to an end, or America will be totally destroyed, or he can wily nily do what he wants in foreign affairs, then you have no choice but to vote for McCain.
But since none of these things are going to happen you still have the option not to vote for McCain if he picks Elmer Gantry for Veep.

I think if McCain choose Huck, it wouldn’t help or hurt him. Ditto Romney. Ditto Pawlenty.

So at least to me, the parody doesn’t really hit too hard. I think Lieberman would probably help more than hurt but it would risk that balance going the wrong way. Regardless, it is a riskier pick.

But of the non-conservative Rs (Romney, Huck), I don’t think they have any major impact on the overall race.

The reason we have MCaine is Huckabee. Let’s not forget he and MCaine conspired to defeat Ronmey. The so called preacher has spent the whole political campaingn trashing Mormons and Romney. He is a hypocrite and a MORON.
