... From the very occasional blogger
There are a couple of problems with Huckabee. First and foremost, Romney has too much money and is buying votes. Second, he let the media create a two man race and took too long to call them on it. Had he jumped on them the day they started pushing a two man race, he could have gotten enough traction and knocked Romney down to 3rd.
At this point, his best shot is that Romney's wife takes the checkbook away from him and he has to pull out. I don't hold much hope out for that.
I cast my vote for Huckabee yesterday, not because I have decided he should be the next President, I've got to see the entire ticket before I can make that call with one exception. McCain can not be at the helm. It has nothing to do with the talking heads and everything to do with my 7 years as an Arizona resident. I saw first hand how he is an ugly political machine that will say and do anything he needs to get what he wants, regardless of what he was elected to do.
There are two things I like about McCain... he is a pork watchdog and he is no longer my Senator.
Romney may have been a successful business man but I don't like him. He has no regard for people and is stepping on everybody by going negative fast and hard.
all that being said, I think my quandry is typical for the GOP these days. We don't have one person that we can get behind. If I could take McCain's passion against pork, Romney's business sense and Huckabee's passion and roll them into one person we would have a slam dunk. This election is really going to depend on the ticket, the Veep is going to have to be able to sway a lot of people.
My crystal ball tells me a few things:
Romney can't beat Hillary or Obama. I don't have a beat on who or what type of person he would pick as a Veep.
McCain could beat Obama, it will be close against Hillary. He would have to pick a Veep that can pull the party together, because he can not do it.
Huckabee... If he picked a moderate Veep and McCain and Romney got behind him with sincerity, I think he could win. Of course, the money would have to start rolling in.
Let me know what you think, telling me I'm wrong is fine but the second you become insulting or rude your comment will dissapear into the ether.
