looking back

Well Huckabee would of been a pretty good pick, but the ticket would of stayed boring. Also they disagree on a lot of issues, because Mccain supported the bailouts,wanted crap and trade, and was against the Fair Tax. So ultimately I say we need Mike in 2012 to bring back America.

Huckabee VP

I think it's a shame he's not the VP; however I think I see alot of improvement in Mc Cain's policies after Huck was traveling with the VP running part of Palin. Some of Huck's old initiatives have been added. So glad to hear him protest the 700$billion Hotel Party. Thank you Pes 2012 Mike Huckabee! I sais I would not vote Mc Cain w/o Huck as VP but Palin has supported The GOOD AiG--Ken Hamm version in Public schools , and some other changes have my Somewhat reluctant vote. Better than Obama who says that other religions can enter Christian heaven without Christ. According to that statement the man is a convenience convert; and if - if - the allegations re: Islam are true, his insesitivity to women in general is quickly explained! Pray for Huck in2012---VOTE McCain for best Christian & WOMEN"s rights 2008.

Go HUCK!

I would absolutely vote for McCain if he nominated Gov. Huckabee for his VP. He would gain a lot of support in the southeast and his Huckonomics plan to get rid of the IRS and income tax is the best plan I've heard yet. Please, Sen. McCain, choose Mike Huckabee!

Mitt would fit like a glove

My vote is for Mitt Romney for VP. He did come in second in the primaries.

If he chooses Huckabee he will win. If he chooses Lieberman he will loose.

McCain...Really?

I am shocked to learn that there are registered voters who are still planning on voting for McCain (forgetting that he dropped out of the election eight years ago, allowing Bush to sacrifice our troops by invading a sovereign nation, raise billions for his oil industry,and all but collapse our economy).

I guess my husband was right, there are still ticket voters--good for you!

Don't blame Colbert for your ignorance, it could be genetic.

Huckabee would be Excellant, However McCain and Lieberman would be unstopable.

Arkansan for McCain/Huckabee!!!

As an Arkansan, I believe Huckabee has taken undeserved criticism for "raising taxes". You have to understand that there was tremendous inequity in the Arkansas tax code when he took office as governor(filling in where a democrat was convicted of a felony). He worked tirelessly to bring the tax situation into equilibrium while serving an unpresidented 2 terms as a REPUBLICAN governor in a state that is historically democrat in state and local politics. The retoric that Arkansas democrats have published against Mike Huckabee is a result of their jealousy that he wasn't a democrat making the positive difference in our great state!

Mike Huckabee DOES understand the plight of the average everyday citizen. Paired with John McCain, the United States of America will have a team leading us with intergrity, moral character, global responsibility, and a clear understanding of the principles that defined our nation from its birth.

Not since Ronald Reagan/George H.W. Bush have we been offered this kind of option for leadership!
