First off, we’ll get rid of the 19th Amendment
Pastor Huckabee at a campaign stop:
I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And that’s what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than trying to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family.
See it for yourself in Living Color:
Oh please oh please oh please oh PLEASE let this man be the nominee.

So far tonight (recall that I live in SC): Three push poll phone calls! Ugh. If I vote for Huckabee on Saturday I can’t vote for anyone in the Dem primary. Worth it? Lobby me.

Ooh, really? Who’d you get the calls from? What did they say?
I’ve never been push-polled. I’m jealous.

Violet: You know, if Huckabee wins the nomination, he might win the election. The dems have proving surprisingly resourceful about losing elections. I was recently dating a guy who seemed sane and normal, but he said he liked Huckabee, so I had to flee.

They ask a lot of questions about party affiliation, taxes, immigration, “values” etc. I’d bet at least one was Huckabee related. I’d tentatively peg the others to Ron Freakazoid Paul and Mitt Romney if I had to guess, but since they are illegal, sourcing is intentionally a little obscure.

I don’t know, foilwoman. Even over at Christianity Today people were saying oops, too much. Way, way too much. There goes the election.

That sounds kind of boring. I thought push polling was all, “Would it affect your vote if you knew that John McCain had pledged to change the name of the country to Los Estados Unidos de América?”

Breaking news: Hell is freezing over! It’s snowing here! And I own quite possibly the only snow shovel in the state, a relic from life in the Nawth. :>)

The Huckster scares me. He’s too likable. He could pull a Reagan and actually win if he’s the nominee.

Hazel Stone says:
But the Huckabee has the crazy eyes. I don’t think any charisma can overcome that.

Veronica says:
He might not only pull a Reagan, but also a Dubya. I remember a lot of us saying that we hoped for Dubya because he was too dumb/conservative. Let’s not underestimate another candidate AND keep an eye on the freaking polls.

I think Huckabee is the most beatable of the repugs. McCain is probably the least beatable; for some reason people have this idea that he’s a maverick and a stand-up kind of guy. Image is everything.
Romney looks like a plastic super-hero, but that could pay off. Americans like phonies.
Guiliani’s appeal is purely bi-coastal I think; I consider him pretty beatable too. But what the hell do I know.
