Huckabee Veep Momentum Is Growing

Huckabee is NEEDED!

Ok, if there is one person who can "energize" YOUNG REBULICANS, It is MIKE HUCKABEE. I get so sick of the "press" labeling him as the "Evangalical" or "Christian" candidate. I for one, am a YOUNG WHITE MALE VOTER from the SOUTH and I don't consider myself a "Evangalical". Yes, I go to church from time to time, but am NO Bible Beater. When you look at the choices for V.P., Romney comes across to young voters as a fake, Frankestien stiff millionaire. And usually I have a "gift" of "reading" people right off the bat and he doesn't empress me. And Florida and the Minnesota governors need to stay where they are.

Hucksterbee adds NOTHING to a McCain ticket

Unless you see Mormon boys in white shirts as a bigger enemy to this nation than Al Qaida, Huckabee adds no appeal to an already unappealing candidate who makes Bob Dole look exciting and charasmitic by comparison.

Of course, if you want to smack down Mormons, Catholics, Jews and anybody else who doesn't beleive in the fundamentalist superiority of fundamentalists, then Hucksterbee is your guy.

Huckabee, oh please?!

Is Huckabee paying these people to shill for him on this site? He's certainly NOT the only choice. Romney is a strong choice, and has the Business experience McCain lacks. McCain would be strong on defense, and Romney would be strong on Economic matters. Sounds like the best ticket to me. I don't like Huckabee at all, never did.

Mike Huckabee comes off as a loon, and he would make the ticket weaker.

I'd love to see J.C. Watts as V.P. He's a solid Conservative.

Huckabee is McCains ONLY CHOICE

Enough said.

TOd, many are saying the same as you. I would vote no matter, but many will not. I believe it is better to see a Republican win than a Democrat in the office, especially with the 2 choices at hand at this time. (THE DEMOCRATIC platform is the problem, no matter who the democrat is, for the most part. ) I do not believe in apathy. It is ALWAYS better to do something than nothing at all!!!

All OF THE FACTS, not lies fed by the media, GOP opponents, or sites on the web provided by Huck haters who were influenced by the liberal media, will prove to ALL that Mike Huckabee is the best person to be VP. However, the challenge lies in our(supporters) & the GOP as a whole making sure that the public is given the COMPLETE TRUTH and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!!!!!!

As far as economic conservatives are concerned: well, honestly, their "voice" is spoken by those who did not/do not want the FAIR TAX. THE FAIR TAX is absolutely the best thing that could happen for this country economically; however, these " voices" fear the inability to control our income. THE FAIR TAX is all about personal control, which only matters to us, the people. DEFINITELY not to WALL STREET(which might see better results than they anticipate), economic pundits, the elite, etc. etc. DEMOCRATS especially, seeing as how they are truly a socialist/ flirting with communism, party. )

MCCAIN and HUCKABEE-a strong team

Where one may be weak, the other is strong.

I recognized this fact, as well as saw all of this coming throughout the entire primary season.(earlier in the year). I believed that it would come down to this. Ask my entire MIKE HUCKABEE meet up of central Ga. I predicted in Dec/Jan, but still campaigned for the Huckster in any way that I could.

THIS IS WHAT WE ARE HOPING FOR; MCCAIN / HUCKABEE IS WHAT AMERICA TRULY NEEDS.

One other thing, although some of McCain's stands in the recent past did not align well with the right/true conservative cause, I admired his willingness to stand for what he believed/ his convictions. SURE, I DIDN"T agree with his decisions, but I believe that a truly strong person will stand for what they belief instead of " going with the flow". Yes, he should have stuck w ith the republican cause, but at least I know that he is willing to do things differently , if he feels the need to. It is a strong quality, when done or used "correctly".

Mike Huckabee n Fairtax

I would feel a lot better about voting for McCain with a social conservitive,{Mike Huckabee} on the ticket.The fact that Mike supports the Fairtax is a big plus for middle class America.Mike Huckabee is the kind of change America needs.

Huckabee as VP would is the only reason I would vote for McCain.

Mike Huckabee is the obvious choice for Vice President.
