Slog - Comments on He's The Demon Clone Baby of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/hes_the_demon_clone_baby_of_bill_clinton I've been saying this from the very beginning. The first time I put anything down on the record was on August 12, but I'd been saying for months before that: Mike Huckabee is the most dangerous Republican in the race. He's charming (Rolling Stone and The New Yorker have both given the man big, sloppy blowjobs in the last two weeks), he's super-Christian, he plays in a rock and roll band, and he apparently has a sense of humor. Plus he's got a diet book, and I think that any presidential candidate with a diet book automatically earns an extra...

But everyone just ignored me.

So in your face!!!

BTW, probably too late to stop him. enjoy the very embodiment of Christofascism!!

So, basically he's Bob Roberts.

That's alarming.

Huckabee had an easy time of it for a while because he wasn't a real contender. Now that he's becoming a threat, the other candidates will start the real mud-slinging.

It's kind of the only instance I could see Obama being an actual contender.


After watching (and being seriously creeped out about) the Republican YouTube debate the other night, I don't know, though. Huckabee comes across as a little not-so-manly. Kind of like a muppet meets Kevin Spacey.

Didn't he admit on live television to thinking immigrants are human? I can't even believe he's bothering to continue campaigning.

Here's what I'm looking forward to: Someone else (Rudy?) gets the nomination, Huckabee goes off to the newly-minted Christian Fundie party, Paul goes off the newly minted Tinfoil Helmet Party, and the whole right wing completely implodes.

Fingers crossed!

I've only decided in the past couple of weeks who I'd vote for in the Democratic primary... and in the past few days I've been thinking about doing just what you said and voting in the Republican primary. Who does everyone think that I should vote for, if I end up going this way?

There are far fewer religious nutcases in this country than we're led to believe. Most religious nutcases I know know better than to elect one of their own.

Huckabee is the Ellen Craswell of this presidential election. We should hope for such and embarassing candidate.

The momentum is (so far) with the Dems, so they just have to avoid their own mistakes or getting drawn into Rovian swiftboating undertow. No matter whom the Republicans nominate, the Dems have to be focused, efficient, and effective.

Good luck.

The question for the republican corporate elites is will Huckabee follow through on their rape and pillage agenda. He sounds too populist for them to trust him.

If Guiliani can't rehabilitate himself from his scandals, Huckabee may be their best shot in the general.

Huckabee intercedes to secure the parole of a convicted rapist -- who then rapes and murders two more women! It's quite a soap opera: vigilante justice, a corrupt good-ol'-boy sheriff, the loony Clinton-hating right wing, etc.

With any luck, he might even get caught with a gay hooker before Iowa or New Hampshire have a chance to vote.

But so is Guiliani. I can totally see him beating HRC in the general.

Why? Ok, the nutcases that normally wouldn't vote for him do vote for him just to vote against HRC, then the "middle-of-the-road" voters who also hate her but find him palatable also vote for him and BAM we lose. Everyone tells me I'm nuts, but mark my words, it could happen. When they were both running for Senate in 2000 it was pretty obvious he was going to beat the pants off her, before he dropped out.

I was thinking about voting in the GOP primary, but can't find anyone I think is a)likely to win the nom and b)less scary than the others. I'm thinking Paul-he scares the shit out of me, but less so than the others.

It's called "Our Favorite Right-Wing Nut Job" to begin with. Paragraphs which begin with the likes of "Huckabeen gave an even more damning glimpse into his inner batshit self" can hardly be construed as a "big, sloppy blowjob".
