Huckabee and others viable despite numbers

This report Arkansas News Bureau - Huckabee touts momentum, not money explains how candidates like Huckabee cannot be counted out--so many Republican voters are still "in play"
: "Despite the widening money gap, Goldford and others said the former Arkansas governor still has a chance to emerge as the Republican choice since many party voters remain undecided six months ahead of the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses.
"
. I sure hope so.

That being said, Fred Thompson's "official" entry into the race will help many voters make a decision . . .

George Bush's bisexual manage a trois following the 1984 US Senate debates in Chattanooga with Victor Ashe and dominatrix Leloa McConnell, and his subsequent adulterous affairs as recent as 1999 with stripper Tammy Phillips, should be further grounds for impeachment given the crucifiction of Bill Clinton. What does this have to do with Huckabee? He is a hypocrite just like all the rest of those damn Republicans and it is only a matter of time before his skeletons come out of the "holier than thou" closet!

Ned -

Well, I certainly can't beat that last comment. Whoa! Lay off the sauce, anon!

In any case, Huckabee's lack of favorable ratings in his home state of Arkansas are the most troubling sign for his campaign. He couldn't come close to being elected Senator in Arkansas, much less President. That says a great deal to me about his viability.

Cheers,

Rob

A bill to silence Christian thought and conservative thought radio is backed by Senator Lamar Alexander. What will it take for Tennessee to fight!? This bill is being debated on the Senate floor TODAY, and our Senator previously voted for the bill.

Check out the video “Teletubby and Moses get arrested” at the U.S. Capitol in this demonstration about the Homosexual Agenda and the consequences on freedom of speech. Go to http://publicadvocateusa.org/ or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUBj51aLV1A

This shows Public Advocate demonstrating in Washington, DC, protesting the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Protection Act (H.R. 1592), which would add sexual orientation to federal hate crimes statutes.

Anonymous, I may not be holier than thou, but I'm sure spellier than thou . . . and clueier.

Rob, Good point, though I haven't seen his in-state favorability ratings. That being said, presidential politics are pretty partisan and Arkansas is pretty Blue. Anyway . . .

Lol. You've provoked some interesting out-of-the-woodwork commenters (not counting Rob in that description!).

Ned - I'll buy you lunch once a week every week for the end of the year after the nomination, if Huckabee wins the nomination.

John,
Is that a bet, or are you trying to motivate me to go ahead and make it happen?

As soon as I start to think the cat's in the bag (and the cat in question isn't Huckabee), reports/posts like this one (from Bob Mueller) make me think it ain't a done deal.
