"Brummett doesn't see how
he can pull off the Republican
nomination"

Surprise!
Surprise!
Surprise!

Being a Man of God, the Huckster has nothing to worry about. The Supreme Power will provide since He is directing the ways of the former governor.

And, here I thought he had it all wrapped up.
One thing about the Huckster, He actually does make pretty good appearances on TV shows. Must really confuse those people (I know many) who have that Arkansaw Traveler vision of Arkies, hearing Clinton speak, then along comes another one who's "clean and articulate". But from the camera angles, still, nobody can see whether or not he's wearing shoes.

Brummett bashes Huckabee? What a shocker. Stop the presses!

And what else is Huckabee supposed to do? Go back to preaching? Run against Pryor?

if i am not mistaken and i usually am. he cannot take presidental money and run for the senate with it. he has stated several times that he will not run for the senate. maybe tim will. he is building up a great record of truthfulness in public service and that would be a great start . i have a feeling he was going to run for something anyway. something tells me that chance is slowly going down the drain.
huck could get more than that with a church the size of armani ronnies in dallas or memphis. perhaps he is building up his name recognition to get him a church somewhere and be a preachin' man.
he might get a tent and a sparkly jacket like steve martin had and go from small town to snall town and fleece the sheep in the name of the lord. spreading happiness and hope as the man from hope. hey i just gave him a theme. i will expect a cut mike.

Get a non-taxpayer funded job.

Damn, Prouster, you call that bashing?

Hucks not really interested in getting those 23 million dollar donations like Mormon Mitt's getting...that might actually get him elected to something...he might actually have to work again. Big money like that might cause someone to look into his bloated PAC and do some investigating.

You can bet he's very happy raising 800 thousand or so per quarter. That kind of money won't buy jack in the way of commercials on major networks, but squirreled away in his swollen PAC, it will keep him and his family in Happy Meals for the rest of time.

He's walking a fine line and he's walking it quite well. Talking fools out of their money, but not too much to get prying eyes looking his direction. He'll ride this medium pony for the next 2 years and then fade into the night with his obese PAC.

For years to come people in exotic places will wonder who IS that fat little bald man with the giant wife...landing in the private jet with a fork and knife painted on the tail.

So don't worry none about Huck. His careful planning is paying off and he's right where he wants to be....bringing in the medium cash and avoiding the front runner attention that gets your phone records pulled and your garbage sifted thru. The Lord and P.T. Barnum love this man!

dbi since my last post i have been thinking.there will always be some people left over that huck will not fleece. maybe we could get a couple of old vw vans paint them up and sell some zonker like things, beads, tie dye, loose joints, anything the anti huck crowd wants. and follow the path of the huck plane. we might make a pretty penny and have some fun. in our younger days it would be fun but i think huck and hucklet are long in the tooth for this kind of business too.

Clearly Governor Huckabee is running for the Vice Presidential Slot. He has to raise just enough money to get noticed by the leading candidates.

"Chip Saltsman, Huckabee's campaign manager imported from Tennessee.. asserting as follows: Huckabee has been running three months;.."

Chip does the spin early. When was Huck not running for president after his
1st 4 year gig in Guv office? Clinton had his vision when still a teen and shaking hands with JFK. Was Huckabee quoting Scripture down in Hope and delivering one more rousing sermon with presidential aspirations? Doubtful.
I think his runner's high has just lasted a bit too long.

Servus the v-p slot usually goes to fill a regional need. If Thompson gets the nomination, Huck won't be needed.
Let's see, which candidate has a gay adult child?

Mitt Romney sure has done a good job at fundraising. I suspect he or Rudy would consider Mike Huckabee for support in the south.

Let the Republican's squabble amongst themselves...'cause unless their nominee has an anti-Iraq war, come-to-Jesus change of heart they're doomed. The only thing that'll help them is if the Dems also nominate a warmonger. And, if that happens I guess it's time for a real revolution 'cause most Americans know this war is an immoral outrage that has to be stopped...one way or another.
