We've got a war to win. A real war, and we're spending our time arguing over who's a proper Christian and who isn't? These are sad times.

Until I started looking at the candidates last month, I didn't know what I would do with my vote. I wouldn't be able to bring myself to vote for Giuliani, and I couldn't vote for Romney. Since then, I see that Huckabee most closely represents my point of view of the entire field. His opponent, if it were Mrs. Clinton, is not a huge worry. She has ridden the Bill Clinton tide. That shouldn't carry her to the presidency. Obama has less experience than any of the candidates in the two major parties. He should be easy to beat. Edwards is a trial lawyer who is not likeable. If Huckabee is inexperienced, I don't care. I would take character over experience any day. Look at the most experienced candidates. Joe Biden. Who would want that to be their president? Certainly not me. I like Mike Huckabee. Until I started looking at the candidates last month, I didn’t know what I would do with my vote.

If The Huckster can't figure out what's going on in Cuba because it's "too far away", what does that suggest his competency will be for the rest of the world??

Meaning, for Huckabee’s rise in the polls to be caused by God, either the nature of mankind has been modified or the big guy is deciding to meddle a bit in Election ‘08. I find either of those two scenarios more than highly unlikely — so if Mike actually believes this, he’s bordering on being delusional. Not really a quality one wants in the man with his finger on the button!" I keep being drawn to the Huckster, can't really say why. It's not gonna work though. I'm actually getting a little fed up with all the religious labels being slung around on the GOP side this time. The Dems must be having some good guffaws all around! I wrote the following today:

Let's not forget the guy wants to close Gitmo and head on over and start talking with Ahmendinejad, Castro, and Chavez thinking that this was the answer all along (remind you of anyone?). Is it just me or does this guy remind you of the 'president' from Season 5 of 24? Hopefully he goes down just as hard.

If it comes down to Huck against Clinton or Obama I will of course vote for him. But if Fred Thompson is still in the race come March I will vote for him in the Illinois race.

However, Huckabee would convince me to vote for Clinton.
