Default Dammit, I kind of like this Huckabee kid

I can't understand why. He's plucky and I just think he's pretty reasonable. I wouldn't vote for him, but I would feel more comfortable with the country in his hands than any other Republican, although McCain is close.

Now I'll shut up about it, since I have now officially started 4 threads about him. I have issues.

Huckabee is like a bizarro Giuliani. Socially conservative and fiscally liberal. At this point Huck isn't looking for a Presidential bid, but he's gunning for the VP spot.

Pat Toomey hit the nail on the head yesterday:

Quote:
A Huckabee nomination, even as vice president, will make it impossible for the Republican party to reclaim its brand of fiscal conservatism and limited government, without which it cannot be a majority party again.

My only real hope all along was that Thompson would start leaking former cast mates as potential cabinent members.

Sam Waterston for VP, that blonde chick that ended up being a lesbian AG, the Jerry Orbach secretary of death.
