I meant social conserrvative bullshit

I know, that is why I deleted the first part of your post. :P
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Huckabee is a charming fellow.  He's one of the few politicians on the right who can disagree with the left without sounding disagreeable.  However, he's an unapologetic Jesus freak, and that shows a scary disregard for intellectual curiosity and openness regardless of one's charm.

Anyway, my money is on Romney at this point.

For now at least, he's my guy.  I think I finally got past the Mormon thing.

Rudy was a Catholic. See, I'm sometimes able to look past these things.  Now if he had been Irish...

Huckabee. :bleeding:

I agree with others that he's a likeable guy, but I don't want anyone so focused on social issues, one way or the other.  Economic issues are what should tie all Republicans together and is the best bet IMO of poaching independents for either 2010 or 2012.   As everyone here knows, I'm socially conservative but I'm willing to put that aside for now in favor more pressing issues.

Of course, Huck is my oldest brother's ideal candidate :rolleyes:

The talk of Thune does surprise me. I had no idea he was so high profile.

There's only a few people on that list that I would support, though there are some that I don't know enough about to say for sure that I couldn't support them.  And generally, the ones I'd support are the ones least likely to run.

You're right. He was too kind in those first two sentences.

Don't worry about that.  He's a M.I.N.O.
