Go Reverend Mike,

I think one of the problems for many of the pundits is their east coast location. They just don't understand the fact that New York City and Massachusetts are a laugh out loud joke for much of the Republican base. Reverend Mike plays well to the rural and Southern base of the Republican party

I think a lot of this movement is Huck pciking up white-bread social cons who'd backed Thompson or stayed undecided up to this point. The Club for Growth wing of the party hates his guts and Romney absolutely needs to neutralize him, so it'll be interesting to see what happens when the knives really come out for Rev. Mike.

I think this just shows the power of Chuck.

Chuck Norris approves up Mike Huckabee what more is there to say.

Under Guliani murder rates in New York went up by over 3000 in 2001 alone while he was mayor.
Rudy Guliani was too busy before 9-11 protecting the interests of Kerik who is now under federal indictment.
He knew about his mafia connections and kickbacks.
He was protecting his friend - a pedophile preist.
He got kickbacks from the company that made defective radios that firemen had to use.
He was seeing another women while married.
No wonder Guliani did not protect Americans before 9-11.

My suspicion is regardless of who wins the Repub nom, Huckabee is on the ticket. He'd be a strong big-C conservative balance to either Guiliani or Romney. I still expect either or both of those two to implode.

From the Poll tracker:

Pres '08 (R) Clinton 41%, Obama 17%, ...
Nov 27 Rasmussen

"(R)"?????

Chuck Norris's third fist will disarm all of Rudy's knives.

I've been saying for while (to anyone who'll listen) that Huckabee is the closest thing to the Repubican equivalent of Bill Clinton. And it's not just because he's from Arkansas, but that dosen't hurt either. He is a mix of down home appeal, a little bit contrarian but not too much and hard core on the Iraq war. This last being the worst of his policy positions. Although I don't agree with most of his positions I do find him an interesting candidate. As a VP candidate he cloud be most effective and hence scary for those of us you don't want to see any Republican in the White House in '09.

That reminds me of another advantage for the good reverend, he has a conceal carry permit in his wallet. Rudy has NYCs reputation for gun control. The South and West don't look good for Rudy.

Here's a scary combination:
Mike Huckabee & Joe Lieberman
Huck gets the Christians and the Hillary-haters
Joe gets the neocons and their war-forever base and outdoes Rudy and his foreign policy lunatics
Affable Mike fronts for warmonger Joe, who's does a Cheney behind the scenes.
