ABCnews: Huckabee Wins Big in South, Challenges for Conservative Vote
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 11:09 AM by Bleachers7
His campaign thought dead and now resurrected, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee greeted his supporters ebulliently after winning contests in West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and his home state of Arkansas, with other possible victories to come.

"You know, over the past few days, people have been trying to say this is a two-man race," he said shortly after 10 p.m. "You know what? It is. And we're in it!"

Huckabee was tweaking the pundits and politicos who had written him off, suggesting that only Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney were true contenders.

Huckabee suggested today on "Good Morning America" that he'd stay in the race until all delegates were counted, but acknowledged he had a lot of work to do to overtake McCain.

"We gotta win a lot of delegates," Huckabee said. "The only way you can be assured of losing to leave the game."

1. I sort of favor Huckubee over the other Repugs
if we where going to get stuck with one.

Romney, a living nightmare. I swear he's a Vampire.

Mckain, he's not only nuts, but also a war monger.

Huckabee, he has all the bad qualities that you expect from a Republican, but less offensive that the others.

How's that for an endorsement?

:freak:

2. I don't. Huckabee is a psychopathic clown. I hope he goes the fuck away. Soon.
Much rather have Romney.

3. Romney is a complete fucking fascist.
Ever hear the guy talk about torture? Ever hear his ideas about foreign wars? Huckabee's theocratic ideas are scary, but could never become law. Romney could conceivably do that shit he wants.

4. Huckabee is psychotic and semi-retarded. At least Romney might know what the
fuck to do about the economy--he's an asshole, but has some competence.

6. Competence doesn't compensate for evil.
Make no mistake, Mitt Romney is an evil man. I've watched this guy for years. He's a very very bad person.

8. Sorry, I see Huckabee as the AntiChrist. I see Romney as just a dipshit.

5. I despise Romeny, ,,
But look at some of his credentials.

Well liked in Massachusetts, a fairly liberal state, but conversely endorsed by Rush.

Let's pray it's not any one of them.

9. Well he got a big win in his state.
I don't know, seems like he's pretty well liked there.

Either way, he seems like a vampire to me. It would be a nightmare to look at his face for 4 years.
