Romney / Huckabee 2012 will get votes

A double whammy of religious nutjobbery (lol)!

He is...have you seen his show on FOX News on the weekend?  I love when he takes answers from the audience - a real natural.

That would be awesome after the 4yrs of socialism we are facing.

well, unless Obama's presidency is absolutely disastrous, 2012 won't be much of a race at all

Given the stellar performance we saw a few years ago with a unified government, I think at least Congress will turn around in 2012, if not sooner, when people look at the way things are going and see we've still got a tremendous annual deficit and nothing much has changed.

keep in mind we still have a conservative supreme court, that can strike down anything that comes to them.

the system was designed to be relatively immune to the whims of the public

Well they can still do a lot of damage in the 2yrs they have until Congress is up for re elect. But the Dem's have had Congress for 2yrs and they haven't changed shit.

Does congress ever change shit?

There's not a man in America who likes congress, at least a few still like Bush

Reporters were aware that Palin didn't know the countries in NAFTA and that Africa is a continent--and no news organization reported it??? That is journalism malpractice. I don't give a rat's ass if it's off the record.

I think it will be a Dem battle between Hilary and Barrack. It will be nasty.

She's already said she's not planning on running again. So no.

no....she needs to be at the bottom of the food chain

If the GOP intends on not being ridiculed as Team Jesusland, they should steer clear of Huckabee.

Try running people more like Gordon Smith (a Senator from Oregon that leans in the Libertarian direction) or Rick Perry (the governor of Texas who's moderate).

The Libertarian wing of your party is greatly neglected despite its appeal among moderates and independents.

Huckabee is really a good choice except hes to christian and Romneys morman,

to bad thats how voters operate

Huckabee isn't bad because he's Christian...  He's bad because he's a fanatic.  His economic views are ok, but anyone who says they want to alter the Constitution to better fit the Bible is going to scare away moderates.

Romney is a more appealing choice, but the Mormon thing is mostly only an issue to the Religious Right -- although much of the Religious Right supported him during the primaries.  Overall, he's a better choice than Huckabee.

funny how romney would have been a better candidate than mccain but he didnt get the nom because of the intolerance of HIS base.
