Who the hell cares what libs in the inteligence community have to say. This is a mixed bag of tricks and I don't think the "judgement" of this asessment is of much value. Even if the Government said it has stopped it's search for a bomb, then why did I'madinnerjacket say this week, that Iran needed 5000 more centrifuges?? Why does the Revolutionary Guard still want a bomb?? Why is the Mossad saying they are still actively seeking a bomb?? Why did one of the authors of the NIE say in July that Iran was actively seeking a bomb. Even the NIE says that Iran is keeping it's options open. Too many questions from too many different sources to suit me. Especially since we have seen some pretty huge lies coming from those who suffer BDS. The NIE does not equate to foreign policy, especially since they don't know what Iran is planing next month. Now getting beyond this surface and moving into the meat of the situation. Why would you let anyone divide this party over who the nominee MIGHT be?? Why offend Christians over who the nominee might be?? Personally I don't see a reason that Gulianni should get the nomination, but if he does, I will most certainly vote for him. Rather a near RINO than a Dem anytime when it comes to this office. But why offend a voting block of nearly 30,000,000 people over something that we have no control over. All of our candidates have some pretty high negatives, and it concerns me greatly. - Lorica I would be more concerned about Hucks lack of knowledge about the NIE if it was the actual documents, instead what was released was “judgements” by 3 libs from what I understand.

Anyone who wants to be President as bad as some of these people want to be, shouldn't be. This craven need for power just flat out scares me. I like Huckabee, and I think he would make a good VP, I am still hoping for Thompson. I remember way back in 1991, when Al Gore was riding high in the polls, then outta no where Bill was the nominee, and Al was the VP. This thing called politics can be just an odd state of affairs. God help those who get all worked up about these things, especially polls. We the People change our minds about which person to nominate faster than we change our breakfast cereal. =)) - Lorica

For one thing, he doesn't have the organization necessary to carry a nationwide campaign. And I don't believe he'll be able to raise the hundreds of millions necessary, either. Among the GOP field, only Rudy (or) Mitt can pull that off. At present, Mitt's easily got the better organization. But Rudy's the big fighter, and he'd be able to pull in the big money from the anti-Clinton factions. Fred's already reported to be abandoning Iowa/New Hampshire in favor of the early southern primaries. MCain's effort will soon be just a memory. :)>- I like Huck, but he won’t win the nomination.

They pulled this crap with McCain in 2000. When he hits his peak - and the MSM prays he gets the nomination - they will tear him apart. Otherwise Huck is down near Tancredo and Hunter and only a tad above Paul in the polling. He's not gonna be Prez. Huck is floating high because that’s where the MSM wants him.

Badly. Even the Breck Girl would kill him. Romney might be able to win, but I doubt it. Both Huckabee and Romney have a history of letting criminals go free and having them rape/murder once released. Get ready for the Willie Horton ads but this time against us. Rudy would win, but is faltering. I still think he's the one to beat and will surprise in Iowa and South Carolina. Fred! could win, but people have got to stop wanting a broadway show with their candidates. He's not exciting to listen to, but at least he can carry a sentence. I wish Tancredo would get more traction. I really think he could win a general. He says most of the things people want to hear (like put a wall up and deport the illegals), but unlike the others running, he actually believes it and would fight for it. As much as it would pain me to have another Bush term, I would hold my nose and vote for Huckabee or Romney. Any of the Republicans are better than Hillary. Wow, Huckabee will get blown out. Badly.

I also get the feeling that support for Huckabee is becoming a kind of "none of the above" for GOP primary voters. None of the other candidates has captured the imaginations of a majority of GOP voters, and politics (like nature) abhors a vacuum. Another reason that I believe that Huckabee is gaining support is the virulent Christophobia of the MSM and the Democrat Party, who see fundamentalist Bible-thumpin' theocrats under every bed. There is the temptation to vote for Huckabee as a kind of "up yours" response to the MSM's and Democrats' rather obvious religious bigotry. I get the feeling that a Huckabee administration would be in essence a third Bush term – maybe. The two worst aspects of the current administration are on display in Huckabee's candidacy - a record of reckless domestic spending and waffling on immigration and border security. Worse, he seems to lack Bush's excellent, clear-headed views on national security (that and Bush's choices for judicial posts are the only aspects of his presidency that I still support). A Huckabee administration may make the current one look good by comparison. If Huckabee won the nomination, I would vote for him in the general election. But if he is as weak and milquetoast as the Compassionate Conservative-in-Chief has been for the past three years, Democrats will bury him in a mudslide. I agree, ST.
