Do you think Huckabee uses Chuck Norris'

'Total Gym'? Is that why they're bound at the hip, so to speak?

Not a clue here, just saw a commercial.

3. According to Stephanie Miller

Chuck Norris' new campaign slogan is "vote for Mike Huckabee or I'll kick you in the head..."
:crazy:

9. That's pretty much what he said on Larry King last night.

I was channel surfing and came across CNN right as Chuck Norris was saying he could never run for office because he'd spend all his time choking people.

This is a man whose support Huckabee is proud of :eyes:.

6. I Think Huckabee is Canny

He got the best endorsement of the whole damn campaign, and is using it effectively.

Huckabee opens his TV spot by saying "My plan to secure the border? Two words: Chuck Norris". This allows Huckabee to sound tough and focused on illegal immigration while taking absolutely no stand and offering no plan on the most emotional campaign issue for Republicans. He has immunized himself on a weak spot and at the same time created a conversation point. I can't think of any other political spot this campaign which has done that.

My 17-year-old daughter told her mother about these Chuck Norris ads last week. She couldn't even remember Huckabee's name, but found the ads on Youtube. She will vote Democratic next year, but thought they were funny.

The result was a whole conversation about the Chuck Norris mystique and a recitation of the many Chuck Norris myths:

"In Spain, people are running from the bulls. But the bulls are running from Chuck Norris."
"When the boogeyman goes to sleep, he checks under the bed for Chuck Norris."
"Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas."
"Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer. Too bad Chuck Norris has never cried."

People seem to think Huckabee is weak candidate. I think he's going to turn out to be the toughest of the entire GOP field.

8. I've alway thought that Chuck Norris might have a tough rear.

Hulk Hogan would have been a better catch!

10. Secure the border!! My ass!!!!

11. I think Chuck Norris is there to "beef up" the Huckster's macho bona fides.

Of course it will not work. And it doesn't help that when Chuck opens his mouth it is clear that he is not there for his erudite political analysis - he clearly is not the brightest bulb on the Holiday Tree.

12. Shrub once said that Norris was his favorite actor.
