I was hoping for a libertarian/social con death match, but alas, they’re mostly in heated agreement. Highlights come around 6:30, when the boss lays into Huckabee for his anti-Romney populist demagoguery, and again at 12:30, when she celebrates unburdening ourselves of the squishiness that is Maverick.
The money question at 13:45: Should conservative bloggers follow the Yearly Kos model and start organizing conferences? To which I say: What for? Has Yearly Kos accomplished anything aside from having the Democratic candidates show up, pay lip service, and then hilariously ignore their most cherished causes and hobbyhorses once in power? There’s always the Townhouse route if you want to engage in creepy coordinated messaging, but you don’t need a conference for that. Click the image to watch.

HOW ARE YOU ALWAYS FIRST ?!?
BadgerHawk on November 20, 2008 at 4:14 PM
Because you’re five minutes too late, it seems.
MadisonConservative on November 20, 2008 at 4:15 PM
Glenn Reynolds should have been the VP pick… nobody would ever accuse him of being Dick Cheney in a dress…
ninjapirate on November 20, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Clearly Brown-nosing Allahpundit, despite the factual nature of it.
BKennedy on November 20, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Glenn’s doing the Brady Bunch thing.
AubieJon on November 20, 2008 at 4:18 PM
You gotta hand it to Michelle. She’s STILL promoting Romney while ripping everyonee else!
Consistent. But unable to admit her clear bias for Romney during the primaries.
She banned me from MM for even suggesting it.
Regardless of how great Michelle is, tolerance is certainly not her virtue.
Al-Ozarka on November 20, 2008 at 4:18 PM
To clarify above comments for the younguns: “Lovely lady” is a reference to the Brady Bunch theme; Insty’s looking up echoes the opening credits.
Karl on November 20, 2008 at 4:21 PM
And you know cuz you’ve seen either in a dress? :P
lorien1973 on November 20, 2008 at 4:21 PM
You’ve got to see Glenn in a dress. It really brings out the color in his eyes.
amerpundit on November 20, 2008 at 4:23 PM
lorien1973-
Being frisky today also?

I’ve always suspected Dr Helen wears the pants in that family!
lorien1973 on November 20, 2008 at 4:27 PM
It’s because lorien is secretly Allah under a different name.
blatantblue on November 20, 2008 at 4:30 PM
Where do I sign up for the conservatism 2.0 movement? I agree we need something like this. Look how successful moveon was in influencing the DNC bigwigs
lodge on November 20, 2008 at 4:31 PM
Dude, that just didn’t sound right.
thirteen28 on November 20, 2008 at 4:32 PM
No, I’ve seen a girl naked before :P
lorien1973 on November 20, 2008 at 4:35 PM
Ouch. Is this kick Allah in the b*lls day at Hot Air?
amerpundit on November 20, 2008 at 4:37 PM
LOL.
own hard, own often
blatantblue on November 20, 2008 at 4:38 PM
Thanks Michelle for laying into Huckabee. I’m so done with him. As far as I’m concerned, if here weren’t around, Romney would have won Iowa, propelled to barely win New Hampshire, and sailed his way through Nevada and Michigan for a close race in South Carolina and a win in Florida.
Screw Huckabee. He’s the reason we didn’t get a conservative on the ticket.
iamse7en on November 20, 2008 at 4:45 PM
Huck will win in 2012. Sorry, but it’s true.
marklmail on November 20, 2008 at 4:51 PM
I second your prediction that Huck will win the 2012 Fried Squirrel Cook-off. Hands down, no contest.
Dead Hand Control on November 20, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Sorry, but I’m going to have to call BS on that as she did not kick me out when I voraciously questioned her motives on an article she did about the Pope.
It is quite clear that I made her mad with this as she responded with this. A less tolerant lady certainly would have given me the boot, but I still have my cherished access.
Dude! What did you do?!?! LMAO!
DannoJyd on November 20, 2008 at 5:14 PM
I think CPAC already trumps this. Just make sure Bloggers show up.

If Huck wins, then the “nominate a Conservative” effort will have failed. And the Beltway boys will have tapped another watered down whipping boy to hand to the Dems.
hawksruleva on November 20, 2008 at 5:16 PM
Hell NO. I don’t want a theocracy based on “feel-good” politics.
Anybody BUT Huckabee.
Chuck In Hawaii on November 20, 2008 at 5:16 PM
I think one of the major failures of the GOP these days is that they’ve been running almost exclusively on the social con and national security issues - there’s been little or no showing of fiscal conservatism or libertarianism in the last several years.
ErikTheRed on November 20, 2008 at 5:36 PM
Principles:
(Oh, and Allah, if this is getting annoying, warn me before you ban me…)
Count to 10 on November 20, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Until we can present it all as one big good-governance-principles package, we are going to be loosing segments of voters we should be getting.
Count to 10 on November 20, 2008 at 5:46 PM
I very much disagree Huck will not win in 2012…not even close!
KDANAZ on November 20, 2008 at 5:50 PM
I was chatting with MadisonConservative/Limerick about this a couple of days ago. We should be planning a convention. Just because the Yearly KOS loons are impotent, and their candidates are flakes, those facts say NOTHING about what we might be able to accomplish.
AllahPundit presumes that we would invite high profile candidates/media figures/celebrities to attend (like the KOS kiddies). In keeping with TRUE conservative principles, I think that we should disqualify and exclude these people at the outset (granting exceptions for AllahPundit, Ed, and Michelle since they are our hosts). We don’t WANT Kathleen Parker or Andrew Sullivan or David Brooks or Peggy Noonan in attendance, and we don’t NEED “has been” Presidential contenders. An over abundance of celebrities only serves to distort the goals and skew the agenda of the convention. Our aim should be to draw up our resolutions/recommendations for the future and, once agreed upon and drafted, deliver/issue these recommendations to the uppity-ups — and if that sounds like an independent political party drafting it’s party platform, so be it.
My collie says:
BTW, did anyone else besides me notice all the banter in that video clip about the Reagan legacy of positive thinking. AllahPundit, you are SUCH a heretic.
CyberCipher on November 20, 2008 at 5:58 PM
Walking in on your Grandma in the can does not count. Sorry.
ronsfi on November 20, 2008 at 6:05 PM
I don’t think the right needs to do a Yearly Kos type convention. There’s already CPAC.
Better candidates and no open primaries would be a good starting point.
JammieWearingFool on November 20, 2008 at 6:06 PM
Well said
John The Baptist on November 20, 2008 at 6:21 PM
Mitt would have never made it–his flip flops haunt him to bad.
He should have, and still should, do what he does best—a cabinet position would be great—but not POTUS.
And it was McCains fault not Hucks.
John The Baptist on November 20, 2008 at 6:23 PM
John The Baptist on November 20, 2008 at 6:23 PM
It was just Huck’s fault that McCain got the chance to screw it up.
thecountofincognito on November 20, 2008 at 6:35 PM
Sapwolf on November 20, 2008 at 7:31 PM
If over time, Mitt can convince us that he IS a conservative, then he could be a good pick in 2012. However, he needs time to convince us, just like Palin needs time to get up to speed on national issues.
Mitt/Sarah could actually be a good pair, but we need to get the party reborn and rearmed for 2010 with a good big tent platform and fundraising infrastructure.
There is a TON of work to do before we really get into 2012.
Sapwolf on November 20, 2008 at 7:33 PM
Excellent !
Red State State of Mind on November 20, 2008 at 7:53 PM
Certainly seems to me that Mitt can convice us much better than Huck. No wonder Huck loved McCain — they’re both RINO’s. That’s why we lost — as Michelle says, Fake democrats lose to real democrats every time.
Christian Conservative on November 20, 2008 at 8:15 PM
It’s nice listening to people who really “get it”. Kind of like an anti-Kondracke.
Beatnik Joe on November 20, 2008 at 8:37 PM
Governor Huckabee is NOT Presidential material, maybe HHS (like lil Tommy Daschle) but NOT President. Having seen his administration in action gives me an insight that most every commenter here just doesn’t have. He’s a nice guy, a good speaker, a Baptist preacher and, he lost 100 pounds. But, he’s not close to being disciplined or principled enough (conservative wise) to be POTUS.
Gohawgs on November 20, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Hallelujah, lock and load!
Elektra on November 21, 2008 at 12:00 AM
i just puked when i read that. never type that again, please.
eh on November 21, 2008 at 4:21 AM
I agree completely. There is no reason to discount an idea simply because it’s been done poorly in the past.
I wouldn’t be interested in it if it was made into a big media circus with all of the current Republican names showing up.
aelhues on November 21, 2008 at 8:47 AM
Glenn’s fine, but that shirt! I kept wanting to unbutton that second button and arrange the shirt for him. Yea, I’m OCD and he’s a Libertarian has has the right to have an ill-fitting shirt.
Michelle was beautiful in body and mind, as always, but I’d spice up her outfit with some color! Send in Tim Gunn! ;-)
