Hot Air poll results: Huck 48.6%, Obama 18%, Stay Home 33.3%

699 votes seems like a nice meaty sample. Figure two-thirds of that 33% is bluffing and will pull the lever for Huck when push comes to shove. Figure half of the remainder can also be won over by Huck pandering to the base for months on end during the campaign. That still leaves you with almost 15% staying home or crossing the aisle. Look upon these results, my friends. This way lies ruin.
He’s already up 17 in South Carolina, which you’ll recall is the linchpin of the conservative nightmare scenario. Even if Mitt wins tomorrow and then beats him on his homecourt in Michigan, Huck’s still primed to go into SC in or near the lead and pushing hard for evangelical endorsements.
Maybe Ace is right. Maybe it’s a rebuilding year.

Okay I see lots of waking up screaming in cold sweats in the middle of the night happening to me in my near future.
What ever happened to men with marbles?

If Huck gets put up as the nominee, it’s not going to be a rebuilding year, it’s going to be finishing out the season on a team that is folding up the franchise.

I know that you have all the proof in the world about Huck’s poll numbers being due to the evangelical vote, but I still don’t think that is the case. If it is, then I will become a Roman Catholic; for at least the Roman Catholic Church hasn’t thrown reason out the window.
Weight of Glory on January 7, 2008 at 8:48 PM
i dont even know what to say to this. i will stay home, and not vote if huckabee wins the nomination. he’s not very intelligent, he’s not very conservative outside of being socially conservative…unbelievable.
therightwinger on January 7, 2008 at 8:48 PM
On second thought, I’ll just shoot for Episcopalian.
Weight of Glory on January 7, 2008 at 8:49 PM
if the Dems didn’t hold Congress, with 2 SCOTUS nominees waiting…I could live with a Dem president for 4 years. But that isn’t the case, instaed I find the scenario of an all Dem Congress and Whitehouse, given the current state of things to be rather INSANE>
jp on January 7, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Once I left an open can of V8 in my fridge for 2 months. When asked how it tasted I could never come up with an adequate description. Now that I reflect on it… That foul taste was like Mike Huckabee. I will never vote for the man.
CABE on January 7, 2008 at 8:49 PM
I’m not sure why you feel confident of this. I can’t picture ANY of us who are in the ‘Obama or stay home’ crowd actually taking the time out of our day to go vote for Huckafraud. No chance in Hell. It’s simply not happening.
I’ll be staying home if the nominee is ANYONE other than Thompson, and if it’s Huckabee I’ll actually be voting for Obama.
Evangelicals can go ahead and test us if they want. They’ll end up with Obama. Good luck with that.
Gregor on January 7, 2008 at 8:50 PM
If 15% of “conservatives” stay home because of the “conservative” media spin, allowing Obama to win, this country deserves Obama.
And yeah, maybe then, we can rebuild. Rebuild the “conservative” (self-serving) media.
huckfan on January 7, 2008 at 8:50 PM
Or they don’t look forward to the next Jimmy Carter being a Republican.
You know the funny thing? I was/am a Rudy guy. When he led, I continuously was told about all the people who’d stay home if he was nominated, and how we couldn’t nominate him because he’d divide the party. There was a chunk of voter unwilling to abandon their ideals. But now that they’ve settled on Huckabee because of fewer Conservative ideals than you could pin on Giuliani, I’m supposed to abandon mine.
amerpundit on January 7, 2008 at 8:52 PM
Isn’t Romney ahead now based on the Wyoming delgates he won? And if he takes NH and MI, he goes even farther ahead? How does Huck taking SC equal him beating Romney?
Pam on January 7, 2008 at 8:53 PM
It will really be interesting to watch all the Mormon Republicans when Huckabee is nominated. It will be a rare opportunity to watch a political party disintegrate right before your very eyes.
WasatchMan on January 7, 2008 at 8:53 PM
I’d probably pull the lever for Huck, but I’d have to shower like Ace Ventura after he found out Einhorn was Finkle….
mo_gunslinger on January 7, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Sooo…uhh…who do you like in this race?
Weight of Glory on January 7, 2008 at 8:54 PM
You want nuance? As one of the 33.3%, I’m not really going to stay home, as there are too many new taxes, fees, giveaways and other assaults on the general public sure to fill the California ballot.
But I will write in Duncan Hunter, as I cannot cast my vote for either Osama Obama or The Huckster. Either will be worse than the current president, if that’s possible.

huckfan on January 7, 2008 at 8:57 PM
Yup. The frustrating thing, however is that we do have candidates that can keep that from happening. Oh well. All is not lost. The good thing about first principles is that they do survive political setbacks. We will get it right eventually, and we may yet even this year.
Weight of Glory on January 7, 2008 at 8:57 PM
Huck will lose NH and then lets see what happens in Michigan. If he loses there, then SC becomes his make or break state.
Regardless of our personal choices, most of us agree that Huck will do exactly to this country what Carter did. Considering that he is the worst possible choice, the best thing for the time being would be a Mitt or McCain sweep of NH and Michigan. I only use those two candidates because realistically, only McCain and Mitt are the only two in position to accomplish that. It’s too bad McCain is so interested in defeating Mitt at any cost, because he will never get the nomination (because of amnesty) and Huck could get the nod on pure style and affability.
For me, barring a Fred surprise win in NH and MI, Mitt needs to sweep both states and give Huc k a run for his money in SC.
But, I’m not panicking, nor will I ever, because even if Huck does get the nom and the presidency, he will never get a second term.
csdeven on January 7, 2008 at 8:57 PM
That’s very generous of you. I’m inclined to think that the ones who voted Obama aren’t joking though, any more than they were joking when they said the same thing about Hillary.
Lehosh on January 7, 2008 at 8:58 PM
I presume you like Thompson because you consider him a real conservative.
Why would you vote for Obama who is at best a real nothing, and at worst, a far left liberal socialist with a decidedly weird religious affiliation.
JiangxiDad on January 7, 2008 at 8:58 PM
I wish the evangelicals put up someone that wasn’t liberal.

Vinnie on January 7, 2008 at 9:00 PM
I’m as worried about Huck winning the general as I am his losing. A true no win situation. If he get’s in, I have a strong vibe he would screw up so badly he’ll put the Republicans into minority status for generations to come. If we are going to wind up with 4 years of rapid American decline through economic and foreign policy disaster, I’d rather the Dems get most of the credit for it and then sweep them completely out in 2012…assuming, as I said earlier, that we miraculously survive four years of Democrat,socialistic dhimmitude. But that may be better that four years of Republican, socialistic dhimmitude.

My Election Motto:
Vote your conscience in the primary election, vote your party in the general election.
Or go ahead and demagogue our candidate(s) and waste your votes.
That doesn’t move the ball forward, but you’ll feel good about yourself, right?

Cut that in half, sorry. Cont: I think we could all rally around a Preston/Dub ticket or Dub/Preston ticket though I have some real concerns about Preston’s closet.
Spirit of 1776 on January 7, 2008 at 9:02 PM
As a recovering Episcopalian let me caution you against that. The Epsicopal church now is nothing more then the reglious front for the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender) alliance. They deserted any pretense of being a formal religion some years ago and now are merely another grand social experiment. Their split from the parent organization, the Anglican Church, is well documented.
Maybe you ought to check out Mormonism.
Just A Grunt on January 7, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Good point. But that too makes me nervous. After Carter, we got Reagan. If Huck is our Carter, who would be the Libs. Reagan? Sorry, I drank my pessimist coffee today.
Weight of Glory on January 7, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Huckfan, what if you decide you like another candidate better? It’s not very often HA opens the registry.
FloatingRock on January 7, 2008 at 9:03 PM
I think you’re underestimating the power of apathy AP.
But I’d pull the lever for Huckabee; I just don’t see his unconservative ideas lasting long, even if they are passed by Congress. He’d be about as effective as Bush on amnesty, tax increases come and go, and I frankly don’t think a nationwide smoking ban would come to fruition. I do take comfort in the fact that Huckabee is a concealed carry permit holder, in striking contrast with Obama’s ideas to outlaw concealed-carry.
Free Constitution on January 7, 2008 at 9:04 PM
Obama would make a better president than Huckabee.
They are both liberal but Obama is a lot smarter.
Please God, don’t let this be the choice.
EJDolbow on January 7, 2008 at 9:05 PM
Not really, because a Huckabee nomination itself would already fracture the Republican party and the conservative base, and he would have ZERO chance of beating Obama. Me and millions of others staying home or voting against him wouldn’t change the result of the election.
But how about instead of prognosticating on this nightmare scenario, we work to stop it from happening?
Patriot33 on January 7, 2008 at 9:05 PM

amerpundit on January 7, 2008 at 9:05 PM
Oh, I know, but things are-a-shaken within the Ep. Church. And when what I think is going to happen happens, I think I will join. And I am checking our mormonism, in the sense that Mitt is one of the three I would pull the lever for.
Weight of Glory on January 7, 2008 at 9:05 PM
If the 33% is true, (and I fear it is) then looks like we may be playing Hail to the Chief for Mr. Obama.
Thanks for the Fred link, AP knows how to keep us Fredheads happy in spite of impending doom!
conservnut on January 7, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Fixed it for you.
To prevent the GOP from believing they can continue to move left and still get the conservative vote. To prevent both Parties from becoming almost identical. To send a message to the GOP that they are not able to continue FLIPPING OFF their voters.
It’s really quite simple. You elect any of the four frauds (Huckabee, Romney, Giuliani, or McCain) and you’ll get the same type of candidates next time around. Anyone that thinks we’ll suddenly find ourselves with another true conservative candidate after electing a lying, liberal, fraud is not dealing with a full deck. Conservatism in politics will be dead.
Gregor on January 7, 2008 at 9:07 PM
I guess I can be counted in the 33.3% as well. But like Mr. Scribbler I would cast a write in vote – but mine would be for Fred!
SimplyKimberly on January 7, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Could it be that the 33% are at home waiting for the Paul / Kucinich ticket to be announced ?!?!?!?
I believe that would be on the “Grand Old Tinfoil Hat” party.
Chimp 6 on January 7, 2008 at 9:07 PM
I still think the country would go with a rep after Huck because he, in effect, is a liberal.
csdeven on January 7, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Will be? or is???
conservnut on January 7, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Already been there, FloatingRock. As in, encouraged Fred to enter the race. Then saw that he was all hype, nothing more than his tv image.
Decided the next best was Mitt, then dove into his record. Smart guy, no doubt the very best financial analyst of the bunch. But, a conservative he isn’t.
So, I looked elsewhere. And what do you know? Mike Huckabee is a real conservative. As in balanced. Not going to keep spending us into oblivion. Not going to back down from the Islamofascists (take your pick, it’s either a religious thing or a secular thing but he isn’t going to back down. Nor is he going to allow the gay lobby to keep pushing their agenda.
There you go.
huckfan on January 7, 2008 at 9:09 PM
what makes you think Huck will raise taxes? really think he’d commit political suicide if elected?
jp on January 7, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Look…if you stay home and don’t vote….Don’t complain.
Period.
But even in this hypothetical situation of Huck and Obama (which WONT happen) someone’s going to win, regardless if you vote or not. Remember, this is simply for pres…in a Dem Congress, you would want a Republican pres.
But we’re talking like Huck is the “presumptive nominee” already. He won Iowa! Big surprise! Obama too!
Wait til Superdupertremedous Tuesday….THEN let’s talk presumptive nominees.
OK, I’ve gripped my gripe….carry on!
JetBoy on January 7, 2008 at 9:10 PM
If we can’t convince people of that now, how will we after four years of his re-definition-of-conservative tour?
Weight of Glory on January 7, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Well if Obama is the Dems choice you will need to buy your guns for home protection before he actually takes the oath of office. Since his first move will be to withdraw all the troops out of Iraq and probably Afghanistan you will need something to protect yourself while he sends Richardson or Edwards to engage in diplomacy.
If Huck is the choice I would do something to protect any assets you got because whatever he can force the federal government to confiscate will be his. And just like his idol Clinton the First he will engage in all sorts of feel good talks with our enemies and try to convince us everything is fine, all the while the Islamists continue to push forward and try to get those dominoes falling again.
Just A Grunt on January 7, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Well, glad to see we’re worrying about the important stuff in a time of war.
Slublog on January 7, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Amnesty bill could derail McCain’s train
Last spring McCain and the hero of Chappaquiddick, with the help of La Raza, put together a grandiose scheme to grant amnesty to millions upon millions of foreign invaders. It was so outrageous they refused to hold hearings on it. The bill went down in flames, twice, and so did McCain’s campaign for almost a year.
Now McCain is back, sort of. But his “amnesty” bill is still political poison. So when he’s called on it, as he was by Mitt Romney Saturday night at Saint Anselm College, he speaks with forked tongue:
“It’s not amnesty. And for you to describe it as you do in the attack ads, my friend, you can spend your whole fortune on these attack ads, but it still won’t be true.”
Amnesty could kill him. Nobody remembers the Keating Five scandal. But amnesty? Have you been to a hospital emergency room lately? Or read the police log in the Nashua Telegraph?
This is why McCain so loathes Mitt Romney. Romney is calling him on it, and McCain, who has never been too tightly wrapped, is about three 30-second spots on WMUR away from a Caine Mutiny-like meltdown.
Did you see what happened at the debate Saturday night, when he tried to zing Mitt on flip-flopping? Before McCain got to the punch line he began giggling – always a bad sign. When he delivered it – “I agree, you are the candidate of change” – hardly anybody laughed, and then just out of embarrassment.
MB4 on January 7, 2008 at 9:11 PM
I understand the sentiment but not the tactic. If conservatives are neither united enough nor numerous enough to dictate the outcome of the election, they have to give their vote to another type of candidate in return for certain assurances. Isn’t that how the system works for minorities?
JiangxiDad on January 7, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Heh. You’ve got to love Howie. On the show today, he said we should send McCain strawberries.
Slublog on January 7, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Nope not everyone, just AllahPundit. He seems to have a certain fondness for this nightmare scenario.

MirCat on January 7, 2008 at 9:14 PM
If Huck and Obama are the nominees, then this election is about suffering a short term loss for a long term gain. I’m supremely confident that either nominee would be a disastrous president, so it might as well be Obama who takes his party down with him. I just hope the country can afford the short term loss.
The mistake in all this was torpedoing Hillary as early as we did.
World B. Free on January 7, 2008 at 9:14 PM
We’re about to find out in the next month.
We can say the same thing back at you …
If you insist on voting for a liberal fraud to represent the consevative Party, then don’t complain about losing the election. And don’t DARE E V E R be caught whining about RINOS, high taxes, Illegal aliens, or Border security.
Period.

He is not shy in us telling what he thinks the role of government is. Saying that I will expand the role of government but I promise I won’t raise taxes is the worst of all worlds.
sweeper on January 7, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Ah, the core ideals of our perfect candidate: He won’t spend us into oblivion, will stop the “gay lobby”, and won’t take a Liberal position on the war on terror.
His lack of knowledge on the NIE? His lack of knowledge on U.S.-Cuba relations? His lack of knowledge on Pakistan? His weak stance on crime? His giving of responsibilities in his plans to non-existent government agencies? His tax raises? His poor fiscal responsibility? His nanny-statism?
Never mind those. Heck, he’ll stop the “gay lobby”, folks.
amerpundit on January 7, 2008 at 9:16 PM

Wrong. He’ll screw things up and guess what voters will say. They’ll say “the Republicans keep screwing up the country.”
Another reason to vote for Obama. I want them to say, “Good GOD the liberals screwed things up!” And … at the same time I want the GOP to say … “we might have made a mistake by moving to the left.”
Gregor on January 7, 2008 at 9:18 PM
It’s good to see that some are willing to put up with a few very liberal Supreme Court Justices for the rest of their lives. I can send a message to Republicans via email, I don’t need to sacrifice the country to do it.
Free Constitution on January 7, 2008 at 9:18 PM
Matter of fact, it is important. You see, that’s why I said balance. Of course, you ignored that. Everyone has a hot button but the President has to have balance. History is going to look favorably upon GWB because he has a sense of balance. Protecting us, absolutely. Keeping the economy going with tax cuts, yup. Messed up on spending and immigration but not enough to offset his trump card, Roberts and Alito.
Balance.
huckfan on January 7, 2008 at 9:18 PM
Don’t quite get this either. RINOS aren’t Democrats in hiding. They’re whores who cater to their democratic voters in blue states in order to have a seat of power. You can make them your whore– just hire them. They’re not picky about their customers.
JiangxiDad on January 7, 2008 at 9:19 PM
The secular conservatives and the evangelicals have always needed each other, that has not changed. What has changed is the quality of candidate we have been forced to back.
I believe our fear of a Democrat in the White House has caused us to abandon our ideals. This dates back to 2000 and has gotten worse since. We have lost faith in the message and when a messenger has come along with a true conservative outlook he is dismissed as unelectable.
conservnut on January 7, 2008 at 9:19 PM
How will he expand role of government? specifically? all I’ve really heard is him speak pretty shrewdly politically, without committing to a whole lot. granted the “ban smoking” thing was bad.

Oh look! A happy person! That’s nice.

canopfor on January 7, 2008 at 9:20 PM
No, I didn’t ignore it. I mocked it. Worrying about the “gay lobby” while we’re at war shows no sense of balance. In fact, quite the opposite.

That being said I don’t think Huck will be the nominee.

the Republican/Conservative Revolt in 1992 that allowed Ross Perot to rise and basically elect Bill CLinton, we have never recovered from completely.
Clinton was/is a master politician. Combine that with the perception of how great things were in the 90’s economically(aided by the media) and then getting away with the “peace dividend”…….suddenly, the perception of Democrat President is appealing to the idiot moderates. before 1992, Republicans dominated Presidential politics.
jp on January 7, 2008 at 9:24 PM
Let’s not rewrite history here. GWB has governed as a big government “compassionate conservative” but he campaigned as a true conservative for 2000.
sweeper on January 7, 2008 at 9:24 PM
Don’t worry, Huckabee won’t be the Republican Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter got elected, which Huck won’t be in the unfotunate circumstance of him ending up the Republican candidate.
More likely, if it comes down to Huck vs. Obama, Obama will become the second Democratic Jimmy Cater.

Really? How have those “assurances” worked out for you so far?
Been down to take a look at that beautiful new border wall yet?
Don’t you get it? These candidates simply don’t give a crap about what you want. They will promise you anything you want to hear. By voting for them after they’ve already screwed you over, you’re telling them you don’t care that they lie to you. You’re telling them they can flip you off and still get your vote. Why the HELL would the GOP suddenly start being honest if you tell them that lying is what you want?
80% of the population spoke very clearly about wanting a border fence and not wanting amnesty. Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Huckafraud all told you to go to Hell. They called you racist. They called you bigots. Now that they’re running for President, they’re looking you in the eyes and telling you they never said any of it. And you’re simply nodding your head and saying … “okay, thanks for that.”
Gregor on January 7, 2008 at 9:25 PM
jp, we don’t need Huck-fool to raise taxes. The California ballot is always filled with “clean water,” “clean air,” “save our students” and “add more police” taxes. Never mind that the Great Unwashed buys into the rhetoric year after year, and votes more taxes for the kiddies even as the school systems waste the money from the last election.
Huck would probably just spend and spend, and hope someone else down the line would pick up the tab.
But I feel compelled to vote, if only to register my protest about Schwarzenegger’s new welfare state for illegals.
