I just cant imagine the GOP going for this guy. He's older than Reagan was when he was elected. He sponsored the largest amnesty bill in the history of the United States.

Does this make you unelectable? Or should it? I think it is just plain fucking creepy. Our public school system is already in such disarray I don't see how it could hurt to remove science courses to promote a Christian agenda as to the formation of ourselves as well as everything that surrounds us.

It should be comforting to know that future generation of Americans will have jobs working for the countries that are actively promoting the teaching of technological skills...I mean these countries are going to need janitors, right?

He's also got a hot looking wife.

Personally, I can't understand anyone that wouldn't tip the scales for.

Yes, but so does Romney, and Rudy

That will give Rudy the lead in the delegates since Florida is a bit kooky in that they award ALL their 57 delegates to the winner.

The bible belt isn't much of a factor this year. Huckabee may win South Carolina but he's going to struggle in states like Michigan and Florida because those states have such diverse populations. The only places Huckabee seems to do very well in are areas with high evangelicals.

That's all.
Hell, Pat Buchanan won N.H.
It means nothing.

Status: offline 		Yeah but we've not seen a race like this in our lifetimes. Suddenly with that New Hampshire win, McCain is leading in Michigan, SC, Florida, and is even challanging Rudy in New York.

The moderate Republicans and independants all love McCain while the rest of the base is divided between Romney (economy), Huckabee (Religious-right), Thompson (right-wing), and Rudy (war on terror). So it looks like the moderates may win out this time.

Anybody who could spend 5 years being tortured in a Vietnamese prison camp, and then come out and support his
Dipshit-in-chief's insistence that the United States torture people, in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States of America, needs to have his head examined.

I am happy you want him to be in charge of both your military and law enforcement in the United States, but I prefer to support somebody whose cognitive faculties remain intact.

Cyber, I live in S. Carolina.
If McCain is leading here that's news to me.
Did you see that in a *POLL* perhaps?
The Polls said Huckabee was going to take N.H. after winning in Iowa.
