Comments on: Rich Lowry goes there: Huckabee for VP?

[...] Cummings then goes on to suggest Tom Ridge might be a better pick to go up against Biden, as a national security heavyweight and former Governor of Pennsylvania, a purple state that looks even closer to going red with a Maverick-Ridge ticket. But if McCain is going with a “safe” pick that doesn’t alienate the base, that leaves out Tom Ridge, Kay Bailey Hutchison (who’s not being vetted anyway), Lieberman, Meg Whitman, and maybe even Romney, all on the issue of abortion, the biggest hot button on the Right. And of course, there’s always the Huckster to placate the religious conservatives, but please don’t go there. [...]

If Huckabee is nominated I’ll sit it out.

The man is despicable, dishonest, inconsistent, and a religious bigot. He’s also a damn poor manager.

If the country is going down the sewer one way way or the other then why not get the process over with faster? Rather than boil is slow like lobsters maybe the quick shock of heat will wake the country up to reality.

Excellent choice!

Mike Huckabee is the only VP candidate that:

1. Appeals to blue collar voters

2. Strongly unites and inspires grassroot support from Christians

3. Would make a great president if something were to happen to Mccain

4. According to ALL of the most reliable polls; helps Mccain win more votes than any other VP candidate by far

5. Helps Mccain take a large portion of the youth vote and part of the black vote

6. Unites the party. i.e. If Mccain does not pick him, almost all of Huck’s supporters will not vote for Mccain.

YellowDawg: See this post I made trying to explain the Huckabee dislike on HotAir.
I hope it explains more of what’s going on.

Vanceone – Thanks for the link. I read your post and #1 is spot on! as quoted below:

“Huckabee is the most hypocritical and corrupt person we had running in this cycle. Even Ron Paul, crazy as he is, is more trustworthy. For most people on this site and my guess is, most Republicans, Huckabee represents the worst form of used car salesman/ tv evangelical you just know is preaching against immorality right before his appointment at the local hooker bar. Is Huck immoral? No idea, but his vibes scream that he’s selling us something.”

I couldn’t agree more with your take on Huckabee! The part about the “local hooker bar” might not be far off! Huck and his band play music about these things (such as Honky Tonk Woman by the Rolling Stones, about getting drunk and having sex with a hooker and then a divorcee)! If Huck has no problem as a minister singing the words….maybe he’s got no problem doing the deed?

All I know is that he makes my skin crawl!

Dayum! What *is* in that kool-aid you’re drinking?

Look, Huck lost. Huck’s brand of bigoted “if you aren’t a baptist you aren’t shit” brand of feel-good populist politics *does not play* outside the farm belt.

McCain can’t win the election just by carrying Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas, etc.

Huck can’t help put *anything else* in play.

To quote Ferris, “It’s over. Go home”.

It is great fun insulting Huck and his supporters but now I grow tired and must rest.
I have nothing against ugly people marrying or spending time together but why breed and pass these flawed genetics on? How selfish

I think it would be great if we could all meet and talk out our differences calmly in an enlightened way but it ain’t gonna happen.
Huck is a fart sniffer sycophant who tried to weasel is way into the VP slot but mcain proably saw right throuh it and used him to get through the primarys.
His son alone would do so much damage to the ticket as to rule him out.
GTFO and KMA huckmen and huckwomen
