In case you didn't notice, Romney got 3rd place. That means he could not have won, and he didn't. He received is lovely 3rd place price. So keep crying.

Mitt Romney was the kiss of death for the Republicans. He was the symbol of those at the top who governed with total insensitivity to the mass of Americans that provide the votes that elect Presidents. By contrast, Huckabee would have turned the tide for McCain because he would have done so much better in the debates than Sarah Palin. Huckabee's new book Do The Right Thing tells it all and also what the Republican party must do to become viable again.

McCain was a false conservative who had way too much in common with Barack Obama, not Bush, to reliably win the election. He couldn't attack him on anything because they virtually agreed with one another, sure the old geezer masked a few of his previous positions like tax cuts (he would have let them expire in 2010) and amnesty, but other than Iraq he was just Democrat lite. He ran an outdated campaign that would have been obselete even against Bill Clinton in 1992, no more dinosaur candidates. The GOP has to nominate someone under the age of 55 in 2012 or they are finished, youth ALWAYS trumphs the "experience" argument.
Obama did not run a flawless campaign, you media kool aid drinking shills. He just had every pundit cover for him, but he could deliver a speech and knew how to move like a Hollywood drug addict stuck on script. Most Americans have absolutely no idea what this Democratic scum are about to do to this country, and it will be almost impossible to reverse course. We still are stuck with a good chunk of a failed idea called the New Deal, why do we want to add to the pain?
If Huckabee screws up the next election he should dragged into the street and shot. The Republican nomination system is significantly better than the junk with the Democrats, look how long it took them to make up their mind plus all the idiot superdelegates and whether Florida or Michigan counted - EY! Leave it to Huck-huck-huck-a-Bee to try and make things more complicated because he thinks he's god's annointed. You'll never be president Mike, go back to Hope and take that philandering corrupt disgraced corpse Clinton with you!

I beleive if some of you Huckabee critics would just stop for a minute and see what this guy is all about you would realize the zest he has for America- the true conservative values he has and finally, what a great leader Huckabee would be for our nation. Just take a look America........

The only reason that McCain did as well as he did is that Sarah Palin galvinazed the Republican base. Mike Huckabee would have had that base supporting him without depending on his VP pick. I hope Huckabee runs in 2012. By then he will have a network in place and much more name recognition.

A winner could never be a loser. President Elect Obama, is a winner who takes all. Looke here. Mr. President Elect from the beginning understood what this reace about: Change from same old eight years of President George Bush's trickle down economy, which did not work. Let us give President Elect his cudo, he deserves. Heh, this is new 21st centtury leader, and we Americans are ready to work with him. This election has never been "me-it has always been about you" the people.

Huckabee is getting mouthy. Must be that Fox News arrogance rubbing off on him. I'm sure he liked Sarah Palin UNTIL she proved herself more a Baracuda and pit bull than the Christian she was making herself out to be with the Huckabee faction. Oops, a colossal phony.
Barack won because he deserved to win. Us people deserved to win this one too.
