Dallas Morning News endorses Huckabee

[brooklynite]

Let's be clear: Mr. Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, remains our choice for the GOP nomination. But Mr. McCain has racked up by far the most delegates and leads among Texas Republicans by a wide margin in recent opinion polls. Though he can't clinch the nomination Tuesday, victory is undeniably close.

...snip...

Win or lose in November, the GOP is destined to spend the next few years redefining itself. For many reasons, Reaganism, which made the GOP the dominant political party of the last generation, no longer resonates as it once did with the American public. The world has changed since Ronald Reagan's election nearly 30 years ago, and the great man's political heirs will have to adjust the GOP's strategy and tactics to new realities.

To that end, Mr. Huckabee, 52, should be a top leader in tomorrow's Republican Party. His good-natured approach to politics – "I'm a conservative; I'm just not mad about it," as he likes to say – is quite appealing after years of scorched-earth tactics from both parties. He's a pragmatist more concerned with effective government than with bowing to ideological litmus tests. For example, he has proven himself willing to violate anti-tax dogma to undertake investment in infrastructure for the sake of long-term prosperity.

2. Combustible Huckstable strikes again!

Oh, good Lord. If the Democratic candidate can't pull it off in 2008 at this rate, it's our own damn fault.

5. At this rate I think Huckabee is running for 2012

I honestly think at this point that Huckabee is running for 2012. He has the support of the base and presuming the Democratic candidate wins, he'll be considered the front runner next time around.

10. Then you are aware

that they also endorsed Obama?

[Maestro]

12. Good for them but come November

They will throw him and all other Democrats by the curb. But no, I was not aware. I try to stay as far away from that crap newspaper as possbile and Huckabee is a a nut! This rag is pandering to its fundie base of subscribers.
