The Huckabee Problem

Huckabee and the Republican party are a lose lose situation.
Either Huckabee loses or the Republican party loses.
If Huckabee wins, the Republicans lose because they will forever be branded a party
of fanatical Religious zelots. With no consideration for anything like a "Broad Reagan style coalition".
If Huckabee loses, the Republican party wins because it keeps its "Big tent" togather.
Any party, Republican or Democrat, needs a broad coalition to win.
Also, I do not think the "Value voters" are going to rebel against
the Republican party, they are not going to vote Democrat in large numbers. They can sit out
elections, but with, that they give up any piece of the political pie.
Huckabee as a nominee or VP would be a disaster for an already
fragmented Republican party.
BTW...Where are his sermon texts???

Obviously, you were not happy, Mr. Fineman, that Mr. Huckabee didn't fall for your little trap. Pretty sleazy. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Well, we ALL know that "casting the first stone" is the media's primary business, eh? Fact is, Mr. Huckabee's FairTax proposal is probably ALL one has to know about Mike Huckabee. For getting the federal gov'ts hands OUT of our paychecks is the greatest thing that can happen to unite the country. http://snipr.com/nextrung

What faction propelled Bush to victory, Evangelicals. They feel very comfortable with HUCKABEE, and so will every other conservative after Huckabee wins the nomination.

Huckabee/McCain would be a formidable ticket for OBAMA/?. WHO PUT BUSH IN Power
