Obama/ Huckabee Ticket

Don't laugh. Huckabee has done more to defend Obama than a large margin of democrats.

6. Thank you.

I find it fascinating that the biggest vocal supporter for the whole Rev. Wright deal has been the huckster.For some inane reason, I like his honesty!

7. Wouldn't that be something.

Obama/Huck versus McCain/Hill. Voters of both parties would probably sit that one out.

8. Huckabee is batshit crazy but has moments of pretty decent civility.

Edited on Thu May-08-08 10:38 PM by AtomicKitten

He's certainly been more civil than the Dem race female version of Huckabee.

12. It is, I'm so over it, and now it's time to turn our attention to McCain

Keith Olbermann started tonight with a fabulous segment on McCain's own, um, colorful pastor problems. It seems after Obama's victory lap in the House today ;) the paradigm has shifted and we are now in the GE. We've waited seven long-ass years and I'm anxious to sink our collective teeth into the GOP's ass.

11. It would sure piss Hillary off.

But as enjoyable as that might be, the whole theocracy bit would kinda cancel out the fun.

13. Actually, I like Huckabee.

He seems to be the most reasonable Republican. He also seems to be a genuinely "nice" person. But he did himself in as a candidate for anything when he said he would like to replace the constitution with the bible.

17. If Theocracy Comes to the US, It Will be Brought to Us By Huckabee or Someone Like Him

If the US becomes a theocracy, it won't be a troll like Dobson who takes us there, it will be someone "likeable" and "reasonable-sounding" like Huckabee.

14. Hey. White people will love VP Huckabee!

Edited on Thu May-08-08 10:56 PM by JVS

And he's a charming Southerner! I say we go for it. It'll be the likability ticket. And Obama can publicly tell Hillary to go fuck herself because let's face it, who does Cletus like better, her or Huckabee? (and don't forget Chuck Norris!)

15. That Might Cause Me to Reconsider My Pledge to Support the Democratic Ticket No Matter What

If it was between Obama/Huckabee and McCain/someotherfundiewackjob
I might still vote for Obama, if I wasn't too busy packing.
