Huckabee Veep Momentum Is Growing

May 14, 2008 01:04 PM ET | James Pethokoukis | Permanent Link | Print

I know this is going to upset many of the supply-siders and economic conservatives who read my blog, but the odds seem to be growing that Mike Huckabee will get the nod from John McCain to be his running mate. I wrote about such a possibility earlier this week, and now independent reporting here at U.S. News also confirms that a growing number of McCain advisers are pushing the Huck option. (Comments to that original post are running about 60 to 40 in favor of Huckabee, BTW.) Who do you think will be the GOP vice presidential nominee? Please vote below!

Vote: Who is going to be John McCain’s running mate?
Mike Huckabee
Mitt Romney
Tim Pawlenty
Mark Sanford
Carly Fiorina
Charlie Crist
J.C. Watts
Bobby Jindal
Sarah Palin
Joe Lieberman
Condi Rice
Kay Bailey Hutchison
Tom Coburn
Steve Forbes
Rob Portman

Vice president to McCain

I would not campaign for McCain nor send money for his campaign if Mike Huckabee were the veep candidate. i could not see him as president if something were to happen to McCain.

MIKE HUCKABEE

HE IS THE BEST ONE FOR VICE PRESIDENT I HOPE JOHN McCAIN PICKS HIM !! WHAT A GREAT TEAM THEY WILL MAKE .

Huckabee is the only reason I wouldn't vote for McCain. Romney is the only reason I would vote.
