So is Huckabee the dark horse candidate on the GOP side in 2008?

[book_worm]

he's surging in Iowa in a strong second place behind Romney 27-21 percent with Rudy at 15%. Of all the potential GOP candidates is he the one that Dems would have the most to fear?

1. Well, he comes across a little creepy. And doesn't believe in evolution.

But, besides that, who knows? :shrug: MKJ

4. Let's face it the GOP has a bunch of losers

Romney--if his religion doesn't derail him his constant shifts in position will.
McCain--is as bad as Bush on the war, maybe worse.
Rudy--Mr. 9/11 has his personal problems and incosistencies with the GOP right. Also came out for torture.
Huckabee--doesn't believe in evolution.
Thompson--old and tired and dumb to boot

8. Huckabuck talks smooth and sounds sane

Isn't sane of course.
I believe he has an albatross around his neck concerning a pardon where the guy then went out and I think killed somebody.

2. I think he will ultimately "clean up" better than the others

On the surface, he appears to be decent. It's only when you scratch the surface you find out what a batshit-crazy lunatic he is.

5. I don't know. When I first heard him, I thought he would be one of their top

guys, but I keep hearing that people in AR. can't stand him. I'm thinking there's a lot about Huck we haven't heard yet.

7. He could be. Having been a pastor and fundamentalist he has a large part of the R vote.

He can quote scripture easily.
