He appeals to fiscal conservatives because his "fair tax" plan makes sense and virtually everybody agrees the tax code is a total mess.<br /><br />But he just doesn't come off as presidential to me. And if the guy he granted clemency is determined to be the shooter in Washington, you can stick a fork in him for 2012. He's done. <br />--SCOTTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-20383312979283789922009-11-30T09:25:11.522-05:002009-11-30T09:25:11.522-05:00Wow, this is almost prescient, given his involveme...Wow, this is almost prescient, given his involvement in paroling a felon who later blew way four police officers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-56581468697309086832009-11-30T08:00:26.993-05:002009-11-30T08:00:26.993-05:00There's too much "Oh gosh" and "...There's too much "Oh gosh" and "Dang" for me.

Huckabee walks the walk; Clinton was/is a player. Huckabee's compassion is real, stemming from years of experience as a pastor. <br /><br />His record in 2 1/2 terms as Governor in Arkansas is much better than the Club for Growth claimed it was, like Teresa alluded to above. <br /><br />I'm always surprised to see people refer to Huckabee as a 'spoiler' in 08. It seems to me that Fred Thompson only stayed in long enough to spoil things for Huckabee in SC before he dropped out of a lackluster campaign. <br /><br />Romney outspent Huckabee 10 to 1. Huckabee was the last man standing before McCain won the nomination because his supporters wanted him to fight to the end. I don't know if he'll run again. He has a great platform now to get the conservative message out to the general public and that may be the best role for him, but if he does run, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.Jarrodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-35427062048323408022009-11-29T15:53:04.139-05:002009-11-29T15:53:04.139-05:00I have always liked Huckabee because he does not c...I have always liked Huckabee because he does not clearly fit into the Republican mold. He actually thinks for himself, instead of just following the GOP establishment. His record in Arkansas impresses me due to his willingness to get the job done, like when he raised taxes in order to fix the horrible roads. But, then, he rolled back the taxes after the roads were fixed. I do agree he needs to be tougher and play the political game better than he did in 2008. But, I hope Palin is the nominee.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.com
