Posted By deadlyhaiku 9 months, 1 week ago in NewsHuckabee frightens many Americans mostly because of his religious insanity, so why is the GOP allowing him to win their primaries and possibly the nomination?

Huckabee is winning because he knows that America likes soft spoken likeable spewers of the one-liner. If it can't be
Romney and his hair it has to be a guy like Huckabee.
They have finally decided that a rich pompous empty person like Romney is not one of theirs, so they are ganging up on him first. He never paid his dues and that's why he'll be the next to go. Republicans know how to dupe the mid-American voter into electing their candidate but first they have to clear the field.
Wait till Romney is out and then Huckabee will get beaten up.
McCain and Giuliani will be the last 2 left and that will be the ticket next November..
Huckabee will be Secretary of Morals or something.
Democrats are too busy fist fighting. (as usual)

Obama will name a governor, a southerner or maybe Russ Feingold, but never a Libertarian.
Edwards is very unlikely to accept VP for a second time, but who knows? The all pretty boy ticket might work.
He'd likely give Richardson serious consideration (Hispanic vote too)...
Giuliani might take McCain (another southwesterner)
but McCain would not likely pick Giuliani unless they both have a close convention and it looks like a uniting move..

Obama-Paul ticket.>>>>
OMG! That would be a hoot, but will never happen. I'm afraid they'd clash on Constitutional issues, and anyway, there is no way the 'shadow government' would let anyone like Paul near the presidency. He'd get in the way of their 'new world order.'

Interesting article. No question about evangelicals putting Huckabee over the top. "Goul"iani's poor showing suggests there are fewer neocons in Iowa than fundies. The republican party has become very nihilistic in the sense that in seeking votes it promises fundies one thing that defeats the promises it makes to economic and social conservatives whose agenda is contrary to neocon imperialists. It's like saying your for invading Nicaragua, but against it, and want Nicaraguans to worship Mamon freely of their own volition with help from military advisors of course. Which premise is not true? I think all but the dimmest have realized the empty handed masquerade of the Republican party of recent years. It's entirely about entrenched elitists using these disparate groups to enhance their own personal social and financial empires. The only thing they have in common is greed and self aggrandizing of one sort or another.

Well put:

I've pointed this out in a couple of threads, but it's worth repeating. In Iowa, a Red state with a disproportionate percentage of Evangelicals, Huckabee actually garnered 11% of the total vote cast. The Reupgs got something like 90K out to caucus, compared to 230K for the Democrats. So Obama, Edwards and Clinton all handily beat Huckabee in total vote count in a Religious Red state!
Proves you can fool some of the people some of the time, but even Rove can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Mike Huckabee will never be President. Simply because he has zero experience - and some pretty nutty ideas - on foreign policy. I look for the Republican nomination to still be undecided after February 5th because the uneasy coalition between the greedy bastards, warmongers and religious nutballs is falling apart. In the end, John McCain will probably be the Republican nominee and I look for him to choose Huckabee as his running mate who will excite those who call themselves "values voters." It may also serve to put them a little more at ease about a possible McCain presidency.
It will become clear that Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee on February 5th or shortly after, leaving Hillary Clinton in the dust. Bill Richardson and John Edwards are positioning themselves for a role in an Obama administration. I see the divisions among Democrats melting away as they all unite behind Obama.
This is going to be a very exciting year! I may even call myself a Democrat again!

I agree. And I agree that Obama will get the nomination. But this is all eerily setting up like Bobby Kennedy's run. There are very powerful people poised to lose if the 'wrong' candidate gets the presidency.

Huckabee won a caucus state. One state. He will not win again until, maybe S C, but he is no where near the nomination. He, like Barak Hussein Obama will be picked apart, his experience scrutinized, and his religious biases examined. The November election is too critical to elect someone because Chuck Norris likes them.

It is sad to see that there are so many scaredy-cat religious fundamentalists in America. These people are so afraid of the world around them that they need a sect and a sect leader like Huckabee to reassure themselves.

There's a very long way to go yet and a lot can - and will - happen before we know who the nominees will be.
All this talk of Huckabee and his limited foreign experience is rather ironic given that two thirds of the country at the moment seem to be prepared to elect a guy - Obama - who has experience of what exactly?
It will be interesting to see what lengths the Clintons will go to in their bid to try and stop the Illinois senator.
