Vintage Huck: Eloquent, peppered with scripture, and replete with a backhanded slap at Romney vis-a-vis what he says about honorable campaigns being the last ones standing. If you can figure out why he’s using an Alamo analogy when he’s gone to such pains to emphasize that he and McCain aren’t enemies, let me know.
In fact, if you can’t spare five minutes, just skip the clip and read this Politico postmortem instead, which begins with an allusion to McCain dropping dead on the stump, ends with a typically paranoid Huck lament about the shadowy Republican establishment that belongs to country clubs and sends its kids to Yale via legacy admissions — and drops this tidbit in between:
While some Huckabee supporters were hoping that he might get a vice presidential nod this year, Huckabee says they should forget it. “We have been given every signal that is not going to be considered,” Huckabee said.
In fact, Huckabee has not been guaranteed even what losing candidates are often guaranteed: a speech at the party’s convention. “It would be amazing if I was disinvited there,” Huckabee said. “If this were the NCAA and the Final Four — two Democrats, two Republicans — I would be in it.”
Nothing left to do but run for Senate. See you on the trail, Huck.

See you in Hell Huckster. Worst Presidential Candidate EVER.
CABE on March 4, 2008 at 10:42 PM
Dude. Go home.
thebookkeeper on March 4, 2008 at 10:42 PM
The guy that worked behind the scenes to secure John McCain the Republican nomination, Mike Huckabee. Shameless. Disgusting on so many levels.
malan89 on March 4, 2008 at 10:44 PM
The Mormons in my family told me to support Romney. The Fundys in my family told me to vote Huckabee - in both cases, purely on the basis of their religious convictions.
I voted for McCain today. He is the candidate that I will back for president.
HeIsSailing on March 4, 2008 at 10:46 PM
Maybe Huck sees McCain as Jim Bowie, himself as Davy Crockett.
darclon on March 4, 2008 at 10:47 PM
And don’t come back.
Ever.

That was a good concession speech. Now… time to make peace and unite to defeat defeatism in ‘08.

Don’t blame him.
Blame the idiots who voted for him.
Makes sense, huh?
Indy Conservative on March 4, 2008 at 10:53 PM
What Huck? Why stop now. You’ve already ruined it for the rest of us… idiot.

Thanks for nothing, Iowa.
Greenhorn on March 4, 2008 at 10:57 PM
surprised he didn’t quote Khan Noonian Singh (via Melville):
“From Hell’s heart, I stab at thee; For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee…”
To the very end, Huck couldn’t help himself; he had to keep spitting on Mitt. At least McCain was willing to drop the bludgeon and give Mitt a moment of conciliation, however forced.
Screw Huck and the hate he rides out on.
sulla on March 4, 2008 at 10:59 PM
Go to hell, Huckabee, you POS.
D2Boston on March 4, 2008 at 10:59 PM
Did you have a point, or are you just trying to instigate a religion-based flame war?
Dead Hand Control on March 4, 2008 at 11:02 PM
“Well ya’ll, I guess I’ve done all I could do to stand in the way of Conservatism and real progress. John will take it from here.”

regal on March 4, 2008 at 11:02 PM
didn’t watch; good ridance to the clown
urbancenturion on March 4, 2008 at 11:05 PM
Wow, some really inappropriate comments here people.
I doubt he runs for Senate, at least this year. If he did decide on the Senate route, I think he’d be more likely to run against Blanche Lincoln in 2010.
[Pryor is more moderate and well-liked than Lincoln. She's seen as vulnerable because in 2004, she spent $6.5 mil to her opponents' $100K and he got 44%.]
someguy on March 4, 2008 at 11:06 PM
I am at peace now. I pray the threat of Huck-a-doom is over forever. Unfortunately, McCain is not much, but he’s a cut above the Huckster.
hanzblinx on March 4, 2008 at 11:06 PM
For various reasons posted on this blog, is it a sure bet that Huck will win a Senate race in Arkansas?
I think many conservatives in Arkansas dislike Huck.
I don’t think Huck can win a Senate seat in Arkansas, once people really find out about his record.
ColtsFan on March 4, 2008 at 11:07 PM
Adios Huckster!
doubleplusundead on March 4, 2008 at 11:08 PM
About damn time. Good riddance.
hhwTX on March 4, 2008 at 11:12 PM
I agree: it’s the idiots who voted for him that turned a weird charismatic (apparently; I don’t get it…) snake oil salesman into something more.
Apparently, nothing good political is born is Arkansas…
ParisParamus on March 4, 2008 at 11:13 PM
I also think his silliness obviates most possible, future ambitions.

urbancenturion on March 4, 2008 at 11:14 PM
F
Last I checked Huck won Arkansas. Maybe the people voting weren’t these conservatives I keep hearing about, but never can find. I don’t know of anyone who meets this readerships’ qualifications.
A lot of irrational anger here.
darclon on March 4, 2008 at 11:15 PM
Huck won the GOP vote in Arkansas. He might be a shoo-in for the GOP nomination for senate, but does that inevitably translate to a November victory? Hard to say.
If he wanted to run for Senate in Arkansas, more power to him. Just keep him away from the White House.
sulla on March 4, 2008 at 11:17 PM
Huck might have won Arkansas as governor, but as is typical to his style, he left massive damage to the Arkansas GOP in his wake. Not his attitude and his line about “Shi’ite Republicans” trashing conservatives critical of his decidedly non-conservative behavior on many issues, particularly fiscal issues, so yes, it is a valid question.
doubleplusundead on March 4, 2008 at 11:20 PM
I think the way the campaigns for Republican and Democrat presidential nominees have turned out so far, shows that nothing is inevitable.
darclon on March 4, 2008 at 11:21 PM

Um, okay.
I feel like I’m on the DailyKos. Just change Huckabee to Bush.

Unbelievable.

doubleplusundead on March 4, 2008 at 11:23 PM
All this blaming Huckabee for Romney and Thompson’s failure to win over voters is ridiculous. Huckabee was CONSTANTLY being slammed by these guys and all conservative talking heads and those two still could not pick off voters - that was their problem not his. People should not get out of political campaigns just a bunch of bloggers think they should. If the opinion of a conservative blogger is all a candidate should look at to justify getting out the darling of many of the contributors to this site (Thompson) never would have run because I think he ran a bad campaign from two months before he announced - to little, to late.
And as for WV which is supposedly the “proof” of this conspiracy - that is just good old fashioned politics, plain and simple if I was running McCain’s campaign there I would have done the same thing - even if I hated the guy I was putting over the top - so long as it was the lesser of my two competitors.
Govgirl on March 4, 2008 at 11:26 PM
Huck is a fraud….I said it from day one. Mitt wasn’t great, but he was better than johnny mac, and Hucka-jerk screwed him…and us. Hope you choke on your second place
Dirthead on March 4, 2008 at 11:26 PM
The most unqualified republican to run for president since David Duke. In fact, I we sure that this schmuck isnt David Duke in disguise?
All he did was make sure a conservative didnt have a chance in the primary….like Thompson on Romney.
Go to hell Huckabee. And take your fat dog-hanging son, Apocolypse and Red Pill with you. You all suck.
Roger Waters on March 4, 2008 at 11:28 PM
Praise Jesus.
The Ugly American on March 4, 2008 at 11:28 PM
He won Arkansas, despite many in the GOP leadership voting for his primary opponents.
No irrational anger here on my part.
I’m just pointing out that many Republicans in Arkansas believe he was a permanent nightmare for the GOP in the state.
ColtsFan on March 4, 2008 at 11:29 PM
Did Huck actually finish in second place (in popular vote or delegate count)? I thought he was still behind Romney in both categories. Probably one reason why he’s spent more time negative-campaigning Romney than against McCain, even after the former threw in behind Mac.
Staying in longer doesn’t put you second, though Huck seems to be making that case. Huck’s had an extra month all to himself (not counting Ron Paul), and he’s still had trouble scoring.
sulla on March 4, 2008 at 11:31 PM
No, I’m not, doubletrouble. Hucks gonna be okay. Thanks for your concern though (smile).
Truthfully, I’m quite worried for America and all those who think electing these types of folks (McCain, Hillary, et al) into office will keep us safe. It won’t. Everbody hopes for change, but the reality is that the ones promising change are politicians who have been in power for the last 15-25 years and haven’t changed a thing. We’re in trouble. And the rest of the world recognizes our weakness. If anything, I’m crushed because of this.
apacalyps on March 4, 2008 at 11:31 PM
You got that right sista.
apacalyps on March 4, 2008 at 11:33 PM
Dirthead…. uh, yer name says it all.
apacalyps on March 4, 2008 at 11:34 PM
Do the math - Thompson (for sure) and probably even Romney would not have one anyway - except for Iowa and SC Huckabee did not take enough votes from either of them to make a difference. My bet is that many of those who voted for Huckabee on the pro-life issue would have jumped to McCain anyway because of Thompson (accused not substantiated) and Romeny’s wishy-washy abortion stances.
Govgirl on March 4, 2008 at 11:35 PM
So are you admitting there was a conspiracy to derail his candidacy?
J/K I’m just pointing out that just because there are groups that have fallen out with Huck in Arkansas, doesn’t mean that he can’t easily win the seat. He has enjoyed quite a bit of exposure that nobody else in Arkansas currently does.
My point about irrationality has less to do with your wishful thinking against Huck and more with the incredibly distasteful comments being posted.
darclon on March 4, 2008 at 11:37 PM
hompson (for sure) and probably even Romney would not have
onewon anywayGovgirl on March 4, 2008 at 11:37 PM
I’m not particularly thrilled by our choices this year either, but the truth is they all sucked ass this year, either because they were poor campaigners like Fred, Hunter or…Tanc I guess, or are weak in policy, like everyone else, or just a nutter like He With Two First Names.
doubleplusundead on March 4, 2008 at 11:38 PM
Spoken like a true Huckabee fan. It had to have been a conspiracy of rich trust-fund power suits who have their boot on the neck of the common man.
Huck’s candidacy was based on fostering resentment against “the guy who laid you off.” I don’t care whether it’s about money or religion or anything else - his incessant carping on Romney, even a month after Romney’s exit from the race, was both revealing and nauseating. Huck’s claims to have run with honor and integrity is so much poppycock, and his insistence on saying it and inferring that ONLY he and McCain have done so, is a calculated and malicious insult.
Huck’s hate-on against Romney is unseemly and childish.
sulla on March 4, 2008 at 11:41 PM
No.
Good point.
Wishful thinking???
I am no Huck fan myself. But I too disagree with the distasteful comments.
ColtsFan on March 4, 2008 at 11:42 PM
Dudes and Dudets - kinda harsh comments.
See the bigger picture, save your popcorn for a brokered Democrat convention.
Kini on March 4, 2008 at 11:42 PM
Sez you…and Obama supporters, but I voted for the one I thought would be best for America from a conservative standpoint, and that twit from Arkansas managed to be a spoiler for him.
…so now we end up with McCain, and Huckabee lamenting being thrown under McCain’s double-talk express.
91Veteran on March 4, 2008 at 11:42 PM

Look at you. Wishing someone to hell is a scary thing to do. With all my many faults I wouldn’t want to do it. I do not make this statement lightly. Hell is much worse than anything any living human being can ever imagine. (Luke 16:24, Matthew 13:42)
I’ll just stop writing right now.
apacalyps on March 4, 2008 at 11:44 PM
While I’ve not been an advocate for a Huckabee nomination, I find the spewing of invective, scatology, and blasphemy on this thread to be shameful. Such sniveling is unworthy of conservatives. Those who suppose this sort of thing a salutary contribution would be wise to hie themselves off to darkest Peru (sans marmalade).
Scribbler on March 4, 2008 at 11:44 PM
It is really emotionally painful to visit your site with me being here in cold Chicago. My pipes froze the other day.

Oh, that was clever….
Dirthead on March 4, 2008 at 11:45 PM
Huck gave a good exit speech, but I still think he is an empty suit. Just like Obama and Hillary. And by suckering the evangelicals early with his snake oil, Huck sucked all of the air out of the primary for better conservatives like Thompson, Romney, Tancredo and Hunter.
Good riddance!
cool breeze on March 4, 2008 at 11:45 PM
I watched the Huck speech live. It just dragged on and on.
ChenZhen on March 4, 2008 at 11:46 PM
BWAHAHAHAAHAHA
Did you even read past the first line? Notice the J/K or Just Kidding mark?
Thanks for proving my point.
PS ColtsFan, by wishful thinking I mean that just because you hope that something won’t happen, doesn’t mean that it won’t.
For example, “I hope that somebody conservative is elected president.” Don’t think that is gonna happen.
darclon on March 4, 2008 at 11:47 PM
Yeah, I saw the J/K.
I didn’t buy it for a second.
sulla on March 4, 2008 at 11:50 PM
Note to AP, the fact that Huckabee has now dropped out and has no chance to become POTUS is unequivocal proof that there is a God.
It’s time to start believing!!
lan astaslem on March 4, 2008 at 11:51 PM
There’s no hate like secular hate.
And just for the record before any of you he quoted try to jump me for supporting Huck, I didn’t and don’t. The thing is, I don’t have an irrational hatred for him either. As a matter of fact, he actually seemed like the nicest candidate in this election. I just didn’t agree with his politics.
I just happened to realize the chances of getting a conservative elected were nil as soon as the list of Republicans that were running was out. Romney? Yeah he’s a RINO. How do you think he got elected in the first place? Fred? Was never serious about running and the voters sense it from the start. So all you people stomping Huck for getting McCain a win need to come back to reality. There was no conservative candidate this year.
Benaiah on March 4, 2008 at 11:52 PM
We’re gonna disagree in that I think Huckabee is a true Conservative (not perfect, but a solid conservative) and was the obvious choice to lead Republicans in 2008. Either him, and/or Duncan Hunter, who endorsed Huckabee. People like to ignore that. But, that’s okay. We can agree to disagree. I believe the rights pundits didn’t want a “real” Christian President. Nor did the MSM, obviously. That’s it in a nutshell. Lastly, I think people have to start waking up and hold the media responsible for manipulating information. Once upon a time they kept the Govt. in check for the people, but now have way to much power and are no longer a force for good in this country. End.
apacalyps on March 4, 2008 at 11:52 PM
I am guessing that those concerned with the harsh comments about Huckabee likely include my earlier post in that group.
The man professes to be a Christian, yet launched a number of not-so-veiled attacks on the religion of Mitt Romney. His “I’m not going to run this ad, but I’ll show it to the press anyway” routine was sickening. And he did it all with a twinkle in his eye and his best “aw shucks” trailer park persona. With me, it’s not a “conservative” issue one way or the other. The man is a sleazebag — he can quote all the Scripture he wants — he’s no Christian.
D2Boston on March 4, 2008 at 11:54 PM
This is absurd.
Romney hammered Huck for weeks with misleading attack ads and then attacked McCain with a misleading ad.
apacalyps on March 4, 2008 at 11:55 PM
Huck could get there as McCain’s VP, so Allah still has an out.
cool breeze on March 4, 2008 at 11:56 PM
I should add that I hope some people get banned for some of the comments that have been slipping by lately in this thread and others. It’s becoming a little too much like Huff-Po, Daily Kos or Fark in here lately.
I realize it’s a big job to police the comments but just…dang.
Benaiah on March 4, 2008 at 11:56 PM
This is nonsense. Huckabee wasn’t a spoiler for anybody.
Who’s fault is that? Have you been reading the news? Watching Fox and the CNN?
Man, why do I even bother.
apacalyps on March 4, 2008 at 11:58 PM
apacalyps on March 4, 2008 at 11:52 PM
Obvious????? C’mon….I respect your opinion, but Huck was hardly an obvious choice. Fact of the matter is, we had no obvious choice, hence McCain, who is now quoting Homer Simpson when he said
Dirthead on March 4, 2008 at 11:58 PM
No doubt.
apacalyps on March 5, 2008 at 12:00 AM
Good riddance to the Charlaton Huckabee.
Huckabee disgusts me.
I guess “being in the miracle business” didn’t work out so well for Huckapuke.
angryamerican on March 5, 2008 at 12:00 AM
ooh, “misleading” “attack” ads. That must be a first in the history of American politicking.
“Misleading” - factually correct, but spun in a way that doesn’t help me get elected.
“Attack” - doesn’t help me get elected.
Cry me a river.
sulla on March 5, 2008 at 12:01 AM
You shouldn’t…it’s nonsense.
91Veteran on March 5, 2008 at 12:05 AM
How did you ever get so deluded to believe this junk? Has it ever dawned on you Huckabee lost votes to them? By the way, who won the South? The South is the heart and soul of the Republican party. Huckabee won it! McCain and Romney took the metropoliton areas, the cities, where Democrats usually do well. Do you see a correlation there? Does that say anything to you?
apacalyps on March 5, 2008 at 12:05 AM
Good one.
apacalyps on March 5, 2008 at 12:07 AM
Some have mentioned how the huckster did his campaign without the money that some of the others had to spend. I guess if you had all the evangelical churches in the south shilling for you, lending you buses, making sure that you had all the workers that you needed, volunteers etc., and then pulling an add, but showing it to the press and making sure that they would show it for free, you wouldn’t have to spend as much either.
Good bye huckabee, and I hope all the nice things you did for mccain will not pay off for you. I guess we’ll be seeing you on tv for at least the next 4 years. Well, not me.
Bambi on March 5, 2008 at 12:10 AM
How do you know that Huckabee’s purpose was to reveal “phony Christians?” Alot of people are asking how come those who preached family values and Christian morals for decades suddenly turned away from the man who embodied these very qualities and puts them into action. There’s two sides to the coin my friend. (Matthew 7:21-23)
apacalyps on March 5, 2008 at 12:14 AM
I support Huckabee, but I gotta tell you Benaiah, this is a fabulous post. Full marks to you. Well done.
apacalyps on March 5, 2008 at 12:17 AM
Apacalyps,
I am an evangelical Christian myself. We disagree on Huck on a couple of points.
May I please ask you a separate question related to your username?
What value is there in Kent Hovind material?
ColtsFan on March 5, 2008 at 12:18 AM
Still hating a fellow American who loves this country, huh? Oh, yeah, are you a Christian, and if not, do you know what makes a person a Christian to say Huckabee is not? I’m just askin cuz you say Mike is “no Christian”. Thanks.
apacalyps on March 5, 2008 at 12:21 AM
People can strongly disagree, but you’re right. Some of the comments by the Huck haters (Christian haters?) are outrageous.
apacalyps on March 5, 2008 at 12:26 AM
Mitt will probably never make it to POTUS because people like Schmuck and his bigoted minions make a minority but a significant minority of the republican party.
Schmuck will also never make it because he mainly draws on the dumb republicans which dont make a majority.
However, Mitt will be remembered as the guy who made himself a billionare, created tons of jobs, raised a righteous and beautiful family, did a great job saving the olympics, was a great governor, and was an outstanding, highly-intelligent class act.
Schmuck will be remembered as a silly con man who appealed to the lowest base of the republican party and was elected where only a guy like him COULD be elected governor…Arkansas. A bigot who couldnt tell the truth. A fraud who raised fat kids that enjoyed torturing animals.
If there is a heaven, we will see Mitt there.
Hope you like hot weather…Schmuck.
Roger Waters on March 5, 2008 at 12:29 AM
Well, I did notice that Huck had a better backdrop than McCain for his speech. Like a giant patriotic plasma. Very cool.

D2Boston should apologize for questioning whether your candidate is really a Christian.
After all, only a low-down scumsucking bottom feeder would accuse a Republican presidential candidate who says he’s a Christian of not being one.
I mean, what kind of hateful, goat-fondling, Jesus-hating creep would say that a self-professed Christian GOP candidate isn’t really a Christian? What a terrible thing to say. Mike Huckabee doesn’t deserve that.
D2Boston must be one of those unchristian Mormonites. I hear they think Jesus and the Devil are brothers!

Good post Daryl Herbert.

Coltsfan. Do you believe in evolution?
apacalyps on March 5, 2008 at 12:43 AM
I didn’t care for Huckabee from the start because of his record, but this crap from Huckabee supporters that you must be a Christian hater was even more upsetting than his record.
What’s it like to be a perfect Christian?
91Veteran on March 5, 2008 at 12:44 AM
For purposes of clarity, I am not trying to be difficult or trying to start a fight with you or being contentious. I am only curious in how you would answer my earlier question I raised.
But to answer your question, I will ask:
How are you defining evolution?
Your answer will then elicit my response.
Thank you.
ColtsFan on March 5, 2008 at 12:46 AM
Are you referring to Romney?
apacalyps on March 5, 2008 at 12:48 AM
Was that really necessary Huck?
I mean, honestly now……….
We get it. You don’t like the guy.
You were 100% successful in your role of stopping Romney (not that I’m assuming McCain wouldn’t have won without Huck) and handing the nomination to McCain.
Have trouble letting go much?
It’s dead, Jim. Romney’s campaign was dead weeks ago.
And with that final “jerk” moment out of Huck, I can’t say I’m going to miss him all that much.

bojack on March 5, 2008 at 12:51 AM
Read some of the comments, buddy. Substituted the word “Mormon” everytime the term “Christian” is used here in a derogatory way, and then see who’s hating who.
I don’t know. I’m certainly not.
apacalyps on March 5, 2008 at 12:52 AM
Good Job Huckabee.. I will keep my promise..
Go Rudy!

Go Mike!
Go Mitt!
GO John McCain!
Chakra Hammer on March 5, 2008 at 12:58 AM
As is taught in the school textbooks. The long ago and far away there was a big bang which exploded and produced everything theory. The mainstream evolution theory. But, it doesn’t matter. It could be the Gap theory or the Day Age theory… which one do you subscribe to?
apacalyps on March 5, 2008 at 12:58 AM
Thats one heck of a team that we have assembled.
Chakra Hammer on March 5, 2008 at 12:59 AM
I’m certainly not your “buddy”, and am not a Mormon injecting religion into why I opposed Huckabee, yet you persist in saying those opposed to Huckabee are “Christian haters”.
I opposed him because of his record.
Since you admit you are not the perfect Christian, what gives you the right to judge others as to whether they are Christian haters, or have any other religious perspective for that matter?
91Veteran on March 5, 2008 at 1:02 AM
Sounds like Huckleberry could use a little pick-me-up. How about an honorable glass of Metamucil? Just the thing to wash down that popcorn squirrel he’s got going out back. I bet he’s already booked for Joe Scarborough tomorrow so Huckleberry can throw out some new one-liners for Joe and his three viewers.
Good Bye and Good Riddence Huckleberry. If we don’t see you on the national scene again, you won’t be missed.
Mallard T. Drake on March 5, 2008 at 1:06 AM
Thank you for your response.
Here is my motivation for my earlier question.
1.) First, I am not a believer in “evolution” (a controversial term that has tons of different meanings) for reasons that will become clearer later.
2.) For purposes of clarity, I am not even a “theistic evolutionist”.
My earlier question was:
May I assume that you are not familiar with the ethical problems facing Kent Hovind? Not to mention the lack of intellectual credibility to his views.
My purpose is to encourage you to look at different Apologetical angles that are available to us as believers in Jesus Christ?
ColtsFan on March 5, 2008 at 1:07 AM
in Jesus Christ
?Jesus Christ.
Fixed.
ColtsFan on March 5, 2008 at 1:09 AM
I’ll second that. I am a born-again Christian. I found Huckleberry’s record uninspiring and unappealing. I found his smarmy manner and his unprovoked attacks on Fred! and the other candidates distasteful.
I also found his overt scripture quotes unappealing. We are voting for a President and Commander in Chief, not a Preacher in Chief. We tried that with Jimmah and see how well it worked. I want my leaders to be devout Christians and have their faith guide their decisions. But I also want them to realize that they are in a secular position, not a pulpit.

You think I meant that literally?
I’m saying “some” of the vitriol towards Huckabee is because he is a Christian. Make the distinction. I’m not saying all people.
Sigh.
