You win. The irrefutable facts that you have shown have converted me. (sarcasm)

He says he wants to help the party. Taking down Lincoln helps the party and country

he’s a liar. He can say anything, but his ten years as Governor of AR are all the proof anyone should need that he’s never met a government program he didn’t like. As far as getting rid of the tax code, that’s just a crock of crap. He signed on to the FairTax because they had a national organization. The fact that it’s absolutely not something that will ever be implemented is not beside the point.

Huckabee is no conservative. He’s a liar and would have been a thief if somebody hadn’t noticed he was backing a moving van up to the Governor’s Mansion.

He should have stayed in Africa.

A senate win would keep him busy in ’12. A loss will take him out permanently.

In 1992 he ran against Dale Bumpers, and he lost by 20 points, 60-40.

How does Huckabee only have one leg? He has been against the bailouts from the beginning, including the one that Bush did, when no one else was speaking out about it (Romney was for it). Also, Huckabee is for getting rid of our tax code and implementing the Fairtax. I don’t know how much more conservative you can get. I don’t know why you think he doesn’t have any foreign policy experience. As a Gov. he traveled around the world meeting with foreign leaders, and has also traveled to Israel more than 6 times, and also took a trip to Africa. Get the facts right, and don’t just regurgitate campaign talking points.

If the choice boils down to Gov. Palin or Huckabee, he doesn’t stand a chance with the SoCons. She’ll clean his clock in a permanent way.

Frankly, I think that Obama will probably do so much damage in the next couple of years that nobody currently on the Presidential radar will end up as a candidate. I think we’re probably going to be in the market for a really nasty, cut-throat politician who will actually work to dismember the Dems, and that somebody will be able to sell conservative, small government economics to the masses. I don’t see anybody we know now being that person.

He’d be in a nasty mood for days. He expects me to do the “minor clean up work” like Huckabee and our resident Rockefeller Republican…

I recall watching a Huckabee show a month or two ago and the question came up if he had any interest in a Senate position. He flat said he had no interest in the legistlative branch of Government

Blanche Lincoln is a fairly conservative (by modern standards) Dem. If she felt she would be challenged by Huckabee, she would become an even more “blue dog”. As Obama moves further left I gotta believe more Dems from red states are going to be look at their own careers and start to wonder what their future in the Democrat party is going to be.

We saw this in the 80′s with the likes of Phil Gramm; I bet there are others!

I would NOT be in that line because I do not much like Huckabee. However, I would not mind him running for Senate. I think he would generally be a good Senator. Horrible president, but acceptable Senator.

I like Mike, but he cannot beat Obama… period… Need to concentrate on someone who can beat Obama. Senator would be good, maybe he will rethink it.

Arkansas voters seem to give a leg up to a known quantity. Governor Huckabee was popular and had he run for office in Arkansas rather than chasing the presidency he would likely have won. He has built up some ill will because he did not help the state Republican party and that has not been forgotten. He can try again and given his likable personality would certainly be given a chance to prove his sincerity in wanting to be an Arkansas US senator. I did vote for him to be governor and would likely vote for him as senator. I did not vote for him to be president nor would I if he ran again.

Huckabee has someone in mind for the Senate seat in Arkansas and it ain’t him.
I know that it’s going to be hard to win without all the Red State people gung ho because people were key to President Thompson’s victory, however Huckabee is building an organization and I think the only office he’ll run for is President.

That no one here thinks I was either pushing or hoping for a hckabee run. His rhetoric today, while uplifting at times, is grounded in populism. That’s apparent by the amount of time he took to tell us he was not a populist. The sorry referee to the people who want him to run for the senate (where I think he would do well), because I don’t think he’ll run. He sounds like a presidential candidate, which will prove to be to the detriment if true conservative candidates in 2012.

He should run for the Senate seat, or at least make a whole lot of noise like he’s really considering it.

In the meantime, stay in the media. He has a natural way of talking that reflects well on conservatives and manages to get some media attention. Milk it.
