I just got a call from Mike Huckabee asking me to telephonically sign a petition
to repeal the HCR bill (press one to sign).
It seems a strange way to collect signatures. Would such a petition be recognized or is this really a feeler for campaign prospects?

3. The Hucksterbees? They should have had horizontally striped yellow
and black shirts. Good god! Jr in the middle there looks like he was poured into that shirt!

5. For some reason, that picture just creeps me out.
It's somehow tacky to the point of caricature.

9. The guys look like a demonic barbershop quartet
That just buried the fourth man in the woods in a shallow grave.

4. It's probably more a ploy to gain support
The interactive part is meaningless, marketers love interaction though since it engages the audience.

I say encourage him, Huckabee is probably unacceptable to at least a good 60% of the GOP coalition, so if he does well that could push the GOP over the edge into the dustbin of history.

10. More than likely, if you did press one to sign, they would ask
for money. It's a fund raising gimmick.
