Source: Huckabee Tops McCain's Veep List

That's a shame Mr. Randall.

Gov. Huckabee was, almost without a doubt, the most principled person in either of the primary campaigns. If you are doing max donations, my guess is you don't like Gov. Huckabee's interest in spending some money in the right places. There is probably not a better example anywhere of the idea of 'compassionate capitalism' than you see with him.

Sen. McCain...putting Gov. Huckabee on your ticket is the one way you can guarantee the votes from my wife and me. So, you are even up on votes counting us and the Randalls at this point with that decision.

Good man but not 21st century

Mike Huckaby is a good man but comes up bone dry in understanding global climate changes. He doesn't seem to understand the interplay between population and capacity of an environment to sustain it. His sense of history is as poor as George Bush's, although his ethics, refreshingly, are a lot better.

The next vice president needs to represent America's change from carbon-based fuels to renewable energy.

Is this a joke?

Please, please, please look at Huckabee's record in the backwoods. McCain really needs to understand that he won't win if conservatives stay home in droves. If it's to be Huckabee, let the world have Obama. At least that will be over in 4 short years and the democratic party will be useless from then on.

huck

I have voted democratric for the past 4 presidental elections. I was planing on going Republican this year. No way if Huckabee is the VP nominee.

I'm a longtime democrat and I support Obama.

But...

If Huckabee was the VP, I'd vote McCain.

CURSE YOU STEPHEN COLBERT FOR INFLUENCING ME SO!!

No Huck!

Yep, he'll lose my vote as well. I'm an independent who has usually voted Democrat in recent presidential elections but have always admired McCain and was excited about voting for him for president. But if Huck ends up on the ticket I will not be pulling the lever for him. I won't have Huck one heartbeat away from the presidency. Please, Senator McCain, don't do it!
