Mike Huckabee is going to kill us all.

Happy New Years, fags! Straight people can go to hell.

(Praying for Huckabee and Thomson ticket, if only for the "Thom & Huck" bumpersticker and t-shirt possibilities)

If Huckabee gets the nomination, Bloomberg better run. He'll siphon off all the not completely batshit Republicans and Huckabee will be stuck with only fundy voters. It'll just be up to the Dem candidate not to fuck things up by alienating the base or moderate voters.

I think Bloomberg is waiting to see what freak the R's run. If it's anyone but McCain he jumps in.

I heard through other media that the Register poll methodology predicts half the caucus goers will be independents --- an unheard of change -- and this why they say Obama is ahead.

Wow, extremely interesting -- if they got it right. We'll see, of course.

Huckabee?! Noooo!!! I don't get it that Liberals are rooting for the craziest possible Republican. The R Party has vote fraud down to a science, and whoever is evil enough to continue the Bush agenda is already a few million votes ahead in the Presidential election. This is the guy that spun the Bhutto assassination into an illegal imigration scare speacch. Shit. Say no to Huckabee!
