Huckabee Is the ONE!!!
By huckabeefan Posted in 2008 — Comments (45) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
I am now officially on Huckabee bandwagon. To quote Queen Oprah, 'He Is The One'!!!
I believe Huckabee is the most electable Republican candidate in the field. Yes, he is a terrific triangulator, but that will be the only way to win over rats next year.
In my calculation, I believe rats will finally settle on Hussein Obama since rats are stupid and the MSM loves Hussein, and they will help him derail Queen Hillary's dream.
If the matchup is between Hussein Obama and Huckabee, I believe Huckabee will win in a landslide fashion. Hussein is simply inferior in every aspect...
1) Huckabee connects with ordinary voters, especially working class voters much better than elitist Hussein. This alone will attract lots of rural 'Reagan democrats' who will be reluctant to support a black politician with little substance. Huckabee will win OH and FL easily.
2) Huckabee has 'Clinton' style charm and liberal MSM loves this type of politicians. Although Hussein Obama will still have MSM's backing, but at least Huckabee will be equally appealing to MSM just as McCain did. This is key in a presidential election to establish friendly media narrative.
3)Huckabee actually has a domestic record to run on, unlike Hussein.
4)Both Hussein and Huckabee have little credentials on national security, but Republician party has a natural edge over peacenik Hussein Obama.
Furthermore, it's amazing to see this head-to-head matchup in Ohio conducted by SurveyUSA... After a couple of weeks of positive coverage, Huckabee is already pulling ahead of Hussein Obama and within striking distance of Queen Hillary...

Huckabee 44 Obama 41
Huckabee 45 Clinton 47
Giuliani 44 Clinton 48
Giuliani 46 Obama 43
Romney 41 Clinton 51
Romney 42 Obama 45
McCain 51 Clinton 43
McCain 51 Obama 40
Let's face the reality, Romney is simply unelectable. MSM has been covering him non-stop for 10 months, but his matchup numbers are simply horrible. I'm afraid to say his Mormon faith does him in... Thompson is lazy and he does not have the youthful image to appeal to the mass, McCain is too old, and he won't win republican nomination, the rank-and-file republicians simply won't forget his past betrayal...
It's coming down to Rudy and Huckabee. I am rooting for Huckabee, at least for now!
1. You're a bigot.
2. You have no clue about head to head polling at this point in the race. (Just ask President John Kerry about that)
3. You have actually deluded yourself into believing a tinhorn, fast talking snake oil salesman can win in Nov. That only works for Democrats.
4. He's not a triangulator, he's a socialist.
5. You are supporting a serial liar. So far, he's running about 100% on issues that he's willing to lie about. NOTE: not "spin", outright lie.
6. Obviously, PT Barnum had you in mind.

...that this is satire. It is, right????
We've tried the strategy of "echo not choice" before. "Triangulation" is not an asset. Remember the last Man from Hope that used it? All it amounted to was him playing off his own party and throwing them under the bus whenever it looked good for him personally.
Clinton used triangulation and it cost his party control of Congress, it got those he had thrown under the bus pissed off at him, and it didn't even win him stunning popularity with Republicans. The only reason the Clintons still have the power they do is because they are as ruthless with their friends as with their enemies. They are hated not loved.
So just what I want, a Republican version of Bill Clinton. Mike Huckabee would probably be good for a filibuster proof Democrat majority in the Senate and could get the House Dems up above 260 seats.
Just win baby... I'm tired of losing...
To win is everything. Huckabee will easily consolidate base voters while simutaneously appeal to white rural democrats...
He is the ONE.
I know it doesn't seem that way but we actually won the last two presidential elections. That's what Huck style big government populist conservatism does for ya.
It drives away voters and alienates the base.

Hey Al. Those Raiders have been looking really bad lately. Might be time to turn the team over to someone that looks younger than say....Fred Thompson.

Not racists, but let's face the reality. Which African American politician has proved to be able to govern?
We have had two AA governors so far. The VA and MA ones are disaster.
Hussein Obama will be another disaster. Fortunately he will be creamed in general election.
All polling data suggest Hussein simply will never appeal to swing voters in OH and FL.
Huckamaniacs are beginning to match Ronulans in the insanity department.

I think Huckabee is the only Republican in the field that I would have a very, very difficult time voting for - even if my single solitary vote decided the fate between a President Hill and President Huck.
Luckily I don't live in a swing state, so I won't ever have to face that dilemma. I have the luxury of voting libertarian in protest or...wasn't there some guy talking about how great the constitution party was on this site?
At least then when Huck screws everything up and completely removes the fiscal discipline planks from the GOP platform I can say, "hey, don't look at me. I didn't vote for that incompetent."
sounds like sour grapes to me... I dont know whom you're supporting, but Huckabee has the big MO. Romney is toast. The final nomination battle is coming down to Huckabee and Rudy...
A Rudy/Huckabee ticket is a very real possibility...
I just have the bad fortune of being a fiscal conservative and a national security conservative in addition to being a social conservative. Meatloaf said 2 out of 3 ain't bad...but here we're talking about 1 out of 3. That's bad.

If this is a real support, I feel sorry for Huck.
Let's see first you insult Oprah (big mistake), then Democrats twice (you have to earn the privilege first, and even then your choice of insults...), then wrongly accuse the MSM (well they've got a lot of strikes against then, but supporting Obama is not one of them - try Hillary), then you put down "rural 'Regan Democrats'" as racists, and then you put great credence in establishing a "friendly media narrative".
Time to go back to sea and collect some krill for your dinner.
You sound like an Oprah/Obama fan. I feel sorry for you, hehe...
Hussein Obama is a dangerous covert muslism. He will be creamed in general election.

For those gullible enough to fall for Huckabee's snake oil, we shouldn't be surprised that they also let mobies play them like a fiddle.
Come on Hucksters, admit to yourself you've been had and click the same button to undo your Recommend for this racist troll.
Take the record away from George McGovern for the biggest loss in an election for President.
Despite what the social conservative wing of the Republican party thinks, and is powering the Huck surge, a Southern Baptist preacher from Arkansas cannot carry anything other than the South. Unless the Democrats do something really really stupid to put some sort of gay or abortion issue in people's face, there's not enough support outside of social conservatives to elect this man.
Pretty simple stuff.

Dear Huckabeefan
I appreciate your enthusiasm but your arguments aren't helping the serious discussion about Huck which often (though not always) occurs here at RedState.
I suggest you channel your energy in other ways, while observing RedState quietly from the sidelines for a while.
You might learn a thing or two about the power of persuasive rhetoric.

Several of us have pointed the finger, but he outed himself here.
I admire your skill in fingering him. Well done.

Jeff issued him a red-card.
As a Huck supporter, this guy was embarrassing me--until I realized that he was probably some troll from The Daily Kos just here to mess with us. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. The part about Obama being a "covert Muslim" told me all that I needed to know.
That's what people said about Nixon. Right after Watergate broke.

... as compared to Bush only winning 11% of the black vote in 2004...
...can anyone imagine plastic CEO Mormon Romney even equaling 10% of the black vote? What about Reagan Democrat union voters?
Romney would be a DISASTER in the general election, and for all his money marketing and endorsements, is not even selling well in the GOP primary.
The last time I voted there was no checkbox for "race" on the ballots. This depends on exit polling which has been horrendously bad for a long time. So bad the networks weren't even able to use it for several elections in a row after blowing some calls... and that's on the national level. On the state level it would be even worse.

could get more than 10% of the black vote in a national campaign you're smoking wacky tobbaccy.
He will get 100% of the stupid vote. That might do it...

Don't make me defend him!
I do think Huckabee would be the best suited to reach out to the black community. He is economically liberal and socially conservative. He could continue where Bush left off (and Bush did succeed where they put in time and effort - OH, PA, FL) and probably do better since he would talk about giving away "free" health care, apologize for being white, and joining in other liberal rhetoric.
I think Huck could get 20-25% of the black vote in a normal year. HRC and Obama may make it harder than normal.

He just doesn't have the time to do the job now. He will be lucky if he boosts our regular 12 percent to the high teens.

I think the black vote is much more of a bloc at the national level than at the state and local levels. I don't see a lot of cross over even for an economically liberal, socially conservative candidate... which was basically what W was... just not to the same extreme as Huckabee.

I can gladly support two or three besides Romney.
As for the general election. Huck will never win.
a little in my mouth.
Okay, I choked it back down. Now I can present my biased (I can't stand Huckabee) opinion - Huckabee's campaign is based on ignorance; ignorance of his record, and ignorance of what our party stands for.
