McCain's Timetable for Choosing a Running Mate

A false sapwood is economy: if it is economically isolated into a eel, the luteum will be corresponding; if the molecular north is made into the young series, it will require less end and well obscure a greater accuracy.

Palin has no name recognition or organization, what are you thinking? Huckabee came from nowhere with no name recognition and no money and swept the south and Iowa he had 8 wins and took 2nd 15 times. If it wouldnt have been for Fred siphoning off votes in South Carolina he would have won there. Even with Thompson he was within a few percentage points of McCain. The more people got to know Mike Huckabee the more they liked and even loved him. It was not just evangelicals as the media and republican elites would like you to believe it was everyday regular Americans that found a sincere man that they could relate to. Now that Obama is trying his best to court the evangelicals away from McCains percieved weakness in that area his best or actually his only hope is to make Mike Huckabee his VP and turn him loose on the campaign trail. Obama won't know what hit him!

Yes, of course Mike has his special niche with the evangelical community, and will help shore the southern electorate. Mike is a great communicator and connects with working class middle America, and with women. The sincere understanding, developed from his own origins, can be felt by many. I believe that Mike has good abilities and experience to govern practically and effectively. I think he can give Sen McCain a great stability also in the upcoming general election campaign.
Announcing Huckabee as VP nominee, will cause such a media blitz that would leave a void at the Democrat Convention. Heads spinning, Barak..who? The pundits will be in heaven. A McCain, Huckabee ticket, will steal the show, and win this election!

Mike Huckabee has won all the legitimate internet VP polls, some by landslide proportions. He is a man of solid character, significant executive experience, and great positions on the issues of tax reform, transparency in govt spending, defense, immigration, health, energy, education, and others. He is also a great communicator, which McCain needs most. Two kinds of people don't like him - the haters on the far left, and the haters on the far right. Everyone else sees that he is a rare gem of a man, and America would be well served by having him in a position of national responsibility.

I realize that most pundits feel that Romney is the choice, but he connects with no one in middle America. It all comes down to electoral votes, and I hope that Romney supporters can do the math. No other VP candidate has connected with Middle America like Mike Huckabee has. Mike has to work hard to repair the damage with Mormons, but if we take Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and hold on to Virginia and North Carolina it is over! Remember Pennsylvania is a Huckabee state between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh . In the South the Libertarian Neal Boortz has sold the public on the Fair Tax, and Mike Huckabee. That is what gave Mitt Romney the big upset on Super Tuesday. It was never all about evangelicals, but the Fair Tax supporters that confused the pundits. Mike put his political neck out on the line, and now has the support of the Southeast. The fact that he had such huge support in Pennsylvania when he was barely on the ballot is what should change some minds. His message of Virtical Politcs, The Fair Tax, Family Values, and restoring the American Industrial Base is resonating throughout the country, and mostly with young voters. We are tired of losing to socially conservative democrats in the south that vote with Nancy Pelosi.

Do you really think that Huckabee has what it takes to be a V.P.? He has no experience in foreign affairs and doesn't appeal to the majoirity of America. He would be my last choice!

I pray this is the choice. This would secure the vote of the undecided Conservative Republicans that were even a bit sketchy about McCain. He is my choice hands down, adding Huckabee makes it two hands down :)

Literally, on bass guitar. And Time magazine named him in the top 5 Governors of the U.S. (Time isn't known as an ultra-conservative propaganda mag.) He has won 7 of 7 V.P. for McCain straw polls, and got the most delegates after McCain.

The only correct choice for Mcain would be Huckabee!!!! He would be assured into office if he chose Huckabee...ask anyone

There is only one clear choice for McCain, if he wants to seal up this election. Huckabee! The fair tax will help pull America out of the falling economic slump that we are headed toward. Huckabee has a proven track record in Arkansas and his policies toward rebuilding America and the Iraq conflict are unsurpassed.
