Huckabee making a hellacious pitch for Veep on CNN right now...

[JackRiddler]

decrying those who have bashed McCain, calling for total unity behind any Republican, for "sanctity of life and the Second Amendment," anyone but Hillary (or Obama) and their taxes, etc. This guy's really eloquent during the five minutes worth of stuff he actually knows anything about. (Note: knowing about something and being right are two different things.)

1. Sure...why not just move the whole Baptist church into the WH while we're at it

[JackRiddler]

6. No, you got it the wrong way around.

He'd move the Oval Office into a Baptist Church.

[MichiganVote]

9. God that's the truth. Maybe politicians would get some real use out of the bible for a change

[bidenista]

2. he really is an excellent speaker

He'd be a great help to making another Repub admin publicly acceptable.

3. Huckabee is quick on his feet

if he wasn't such a nutjob he might have been the next President.

[Carni]

4. He is witty

He's also a nut like you said but he is quite a good speaker as much as it galls me to admit it.

I cannot for the life of me understand why he isn't the darling of the right winged base because God knows they have hated McCain for years.

[Mist]

5. He's hated by the Rethug powers-that-be because of his concern for the poor. No

Rethug is supposed to actually worry about the poor!

[Carni]

8. That's probably the reason!

I assumed he was full of crap on that point (because he is after all a repug) but maybe they aren't taking any chances!

[nonconformist]

7. "sancity of life"

They're still trying that one, eh?

Is anyone going to point out to them that the Republicans had the White House, the judiciary, and both the House and the Senate and yet abortion is still legal?

They just love to trot out the wedge issues they never intend to tackle anyway in election years.

10. I'm so rooting for Huckabee

Somebody help me! I can't help liking him. It's so great to see him beating Romney, and even McCain in the South.

11. New old tradition for the GOP: Put in an ideological demagogue for VP

As bush lowered the bar for the presidency, cheney has raised the tolerance for intolerance of differences
