I'm sure he is a good man, but he has a very narrow base. This poll is yet another reason to nominate John McCain. I'm a Republican, and I don't like Huckabee as a candidate.

Democrats what "big bother" watching us and spending our hard earned money on people who don't want to do for themselves (for those not understanding: illegal immegrants and those who are professional Welfare recipients). Republicans want all of us to give up the rights women have for their own bodies (I'm only for 1st trimester abortions) and tell our daily Ted Kennedy jokes. Obviously there will be no one canditate whom everyone agrees on...that's the point of a Democracy. I'll readily say that I'm a strong Giuliani supporter but I'm just one person among millions. The main thing this country does not need and will NEVER need is a candidate who is hung up on her own ego and who is trying to show the world how much better a President she would be than her husband was (there's a VERY scary thought).

After the major news coverage of Huckabee's big win in Iowa, there will no longer be a lack of knowledge and his numbers will increase dramatically. There was a recent poll of voters in Arkansas, where certainly voters know both Mike and Hillary-Huckabee won decisively over both Clinton and Obama. Poll again in 30 days.

I watched the GOP debates and saw that Huckabee is the most real of that bunch. If he gets their nomination, I'm concerned that none of our Dems can stop the independents from flocking to him. That fair tax just makes sense.

Only Ron Paul's campaign is growing like wildfire and he has the $$$ rolling in to prove it. Watch this guy keep rising.

Most Americans simply don't buy in to the evangelical world view, and that includes me. I see the evangelical movement as a passing fad. It didn't exist fifty years ago and it won't exist fifty years from now. Some other form of religious expression will take its place, and hopefully that future vision will be more responsible and realistic. What would Huckabee do to solve these problems? Children Health Issues, Abortion, Consumer Issues, Corporate Crime, Crimes against property, Crimes of violence, the Distribution of Income, Drug Use, Education (lack of excellence), Employment (lack of good jobs and good benefits),the Energy Crisis, the degredation of the Environment, Family Values, Foreign Policy, Homelessness, Immigration, the Border, decaying Infrastructure, predatory Marketing and Advertising, Medical Care (lack of), the Population Problem, Poverty, Separation of Church and State, Taxation, Veterans benefits, Low Wages, the War on Terror, and Women's issues? Give folksy speeches? Ask Americans to pray for him? He seems to be a nice guy, but he is in way over his head. Huckabee's vision is limited by his evangelical beliefs.

Romney and Giuliani flip and flop way too many times, and they aren't nearly right wing enough for the Republican party. Even though Huckabee is a good speaker at the debates he has said some really stupid things. Thompson isn't energizing enough. Tancredo, Paul and Hunter don't stand a chance at the nomination, but unfortunately neither does McCain, it will be interesting to see who the Republican nominee is since Huckabee is the closest to a lock-step Republican Of course McCain would have the easier time beating the Democrats in a general election compared with his colleague.
