christ. just when i thought everything was going so well. johnny mac was going to be facing bammy. all that bammy baggage was going to sink him. mac was going to make a sensible choice for veep and he could succeed him in 2012. now this. huck as veep? the one thing that would make me not vote for a gop ticket (short of an unequivocal apology to the glbt community for his quarantine comment).
this better not effin' be true!
Please let this be true!
dear god, can this get any worse?!
Big Daddy Mambo '08!
one would think that mac is smart enough to realize that he doesn't need a squirrel fryer on the ticket to win the backwoods vote when he's running against an african-american. way to lose an election there, dummy.
from the jaws of victory...
Ugh..can you imagine how bad a Hillary/Huckabee VP debate would be?
Richardson/Huckabee would be a really highbrow discussion...Clinton/Huckabee would come across as her looking psychotic. The man's views are absolutely bat-**** crazy, but he's a hell of a debater.
pats, i'm trying to convince myself that this is just a loosely sourced rumor that has no chance of blossoming into the kind of ugly reality that would force me to consider shattering sheet-rock with my skull.
*Happy Dance*...Say good-bye to the independents. Some of the things Huck believes are as crazy as Rev. Wright.
It doesn't really make any sense for McCain and I don't see how a move like this would benefit him.
I don't think there is a strong GOP running mate out there for McCain that is going to definitively deliver states, but I gotta think that Romney is a better choice for him than Huckabee.
Wow.
Do I have to bring my own furniture to the homo quarantine center, or will it be at a La Quinta somewhere?
it would only make sense if he really believes - or has seen through some internal polling - that he's completely losing the socon vote, which with the entry of bab barr on the libertarian is entirely possible now.
Well, bye-bye moderates.

You knew this was coming. McCain has to do something to appease the Evangelical value voters. The McCain people are running scared because Evangelicals don't show up in polling numbers because the group is very loosely defined.

Earlier today I heard some numb-nut-dit pontificating that McCain/Lieberman was the unbeatable ticket. I am not sure if this is worse or not.
lieberman on the ticket would ensure a third party run by a higher profile republican and destroy any chance the gop had of winning.
i think this is indeed more about barr than anything else. he's got enough wackos that mccain figures he needs a wacko to bring 'em back.
but barr might just siphon off enough anti-war nuts to make it a wash in the end. then mac will just have sold his soul to squirrel fryer for nothing.
i'm literally getting sick to my stomach. will one of them please dispel this rumor!
speaking of the dark lord...

". . . the prospective presidency of Barack Obama in the nature of a Biblical plague visited upon a sinful people. These militants look at former Baptist preacher Huckabee as "God's candidate" running for president in 2012."
What century is this?
These are probably the same people who believe God sent Katrina to New Orleans as a punishment.

"These are probably the same people who believe God sent Katrina to New Orleans as a punishment."
And yet they say nothing about the tornadoes wiping out their own towns . . .
21, dg, only one behind the adult smoking / shira's taters thread.
Better yet, what country is this?
america, ywiw, land of free expression.
True.
But I find it a more than a bit troubling that people think that this nation is somehow the vehicle of their faith's agenda.
"According to this activist, at the heart of the let-Obama-win movement is longtime Virginia conservative leader Michael Farris -- the nation's leading home-school advocate, who is now chancellor of Patrick Henry College (in Purcellville, Va.) for home-schooled students... He is reported in evangelical circles to promote the Biblical justification for an Obama plague-like presidency."
That the stuff that scares me. He can say it, but the fact that so many people believe it just baffles me.

God must really really hate trailer parks.
The socons are sweezing the vice on McCain.
The prospect of being forced to pick up Huck and the likelihood of Barr nabbing the Libertarian nomination is a combination too good to be true.
McCain will be caught in a viscious crossfire between Ron Paul and Bob Barr both chipping away at his shaky fiscal conservative base. Huck will ratchet up the "eww" reaction.
Mac hangs out with lobbyists and elite liberals because they're the only ones who will suffer him. He grants indulgences to the former and dances atop an organ for the latter.
Iceberg dead ahead folks!
