This is what Steve Barnes queried him about last year, early spring I think. Of course Huck gave the usual lie, "No one runs for Vice President."

I bet were it offered the entire Huckabilly entourage could be heard barking and jumping like a fresly washed Terrier.

Yep.
McCain would need the Huckabilly's "konstichuncy" in the general election. He may be all big 'n stuff with the warriors, but he doesn't otherwise have the pull with the Baptists that the Huckster does. It ain't as bad as it seems. Even if my prediction (God forbid) comes to pass (raging radical REpugs assassinate Obama and point the finger at Hillary - before the primaries are over), and we end up with another Repugnikun administration, at least we can take consolation in the fact that it won't be a "conservative" administration, and Rush Limbaugh would be pissed off as all hell. So we've got that going for us....which is nice.

The only concern I have with a McCain/Huck ticket is McCain's age and health...

I don't love McCain but I could live with him if I had to...

I would not like to see Huck squeak into the Oval Office by default...c'mon...the guy thinks maybe those pesky WMD were sent to Jordan...

I wouldn't be surprised if McCain picks Pryor's pal Lieberman...

No. Huckabee is cuddling up to McCain because McCain ISN'T a Mormon. Ain't no Baptist preacher going to view a Mormon as anything other than a coiled snake. If you think Shias dislike Sunnis....you weren't raised in a Baptist church. Hell....they're just now lowering the venom spewed at the Catholics.

Huck is running for Money Raiser For Life. It's a much better job than VP, all Huck has to do is show up and smile and eat and go Jesus Jesus Rah Rah Rah. How can you beat that? The good news is soon the AT blog will be Huck-Free as Mikey slips under the sands of time and disinterest. Now that IS a good thing!

And remember to tell someone you love today that Mark Pryor is no damn good. Thank you.

Money Raiser For Life"

LMAO!!!

But it's sad when you think about it. He's the worst money raiser in the entire pack. His message only resonates with a few dentists and a couple of doctors who want to make sure they go to heaven, and all the rest are too poor to contribute.

It's like Charlie Cook said ... the GOP will have to desperate ... desperate ... to put Huck on the ticket. The fact is Huck cannot raise $$ even from evangelicals much less mainstream repubs, has not shown an ability to maximize getting out his base vote much less broadening his base, and remains loose lipped & will eventually mouth more stupid quips on the campaign trail. He does not bring enough to merit a place on the GOP ticket. Ron Paul ... now there's a $$-raiser and base builder!

Huck's been in it for more personal money --- speaking fees, more book sales and better house gifts.

And btw, when did Huck accumulate all that P&G stock that's worth up to a quarter of a mil $$??

hmmmm..... wonder what else JJ Vigneault and Greg Graves know and when they will release it? Add how much is day spring cards paying Brenda Turner to keep quiet? Makes me wonder if Hallmark, Dayspring's parent company, knows much about Mrs. Turner.

Bayou's right. Why put Huckabee on the ticket when he can't raise money and there's a real chance he won't even win the Arkansas primary? McCain's not going to beat Obama or Hillary, but if he puts Huck on his ticket, the results may be Goldwaterian--or Mondalian, if you like that better.

Huckabee lost the race for President in Michigan. After Iowa, where Huck conned the Fair Tax folks and innoculated himself from his tax and spend record, he led the MI field. Romney's economic populism one-uped Huckabee's and the Club for growth hammered Huckabee on taxes (Michigan just had a big tax increase) with huge tv ad buys. South Carolina was just the result of Huck's loss of momentum.

If he gets the nomination, McCain, who is pro-life, pro-gun and pro-war, will pick an economic conservative for Veep who is against McCain/Feingold to solidfy the R's, or risk the Rush rebellion.

Bush Rebellion??? Like he matters to anyone outside Tex and So. Carolina.

Huck can be any of those things charlie. Hell, Huck can be anyone at any time so long as he gets a ticket punched. Huck can be an economic populist, conservative and likely a socialist since he wouldn't recognize socialism if the need arose. Huck can be for anything, anybody any time so long as something's in it for Huck.

But, Huck is finished.

I bet were it offered the entire Huckabilly entourage could be heard barking and jumping like a freshly washed Terrier.

eLwood the above gets my vote for the most pertinent & humerous quote on this post but more likely St Bernards.

He's always been running for VP. Even an ego that large is not deluded enough to assume he had a chance at the nomination.

Certainly, I can see why McCain would want to use our local social conservative to pick up the south, but, frankly, I thought better of him. (Stop snikering, I'm serious.)

Huckabee jumped the shark with his, "Confederate flagpole up the butt" analogy. SO Southern Baptist.

Our prayer is that Mike and Janet become the Kenneth and Gloria Copeland of the new generation.

Else be stunned to run into one or the other of them at a McDonald's drive through, staples popping, entreating, "Fries with that?"

On the other hand, Faubus wound up as a bank teller behind a barred cage in Nowhere, AR.

Say what you will, or won't, about Intelligent Design. but it sure's got a sense of irony.

Much as I hate to say it, after Guilani loses tomorrow in Florida, this will likely effectively be a two or three man race with McCain, Romney, and maybe Huck. (Exception is if Guilani can hold delegates in CA and NY.) Despite Evanglicals distrust of Mormonism as a religion, it fits with their general moral bent (and the pro-life Catholics probably don't care that much about the Mormon thing). So Romney is the bigger threat to Huck on the moral front. Eliminate Romney, and it potentialy leaves Huck as the only "true" social conservative. Not a bad recipe for the actual nomination.

Also do remember that Huck become Governor by the back door so being a Veep may look pretty good to him. Worked last time...

Elwood,
Charlie was talking about Rush, not Bush.

I guess it's time to revert back from HuckaBush to HuckaVeep. How many nicknames can one man have?
