Can I vote for Mitt Huckabee? Please?


Seriously. Consider all of the hoopla leading into Ho Hum Tuesday, what did we actually learn about the GOP? In virtually every state, educated voters on our side of the aisle wisely cast their votes for one of the two more conservative candidates (Romney and Huckabee) than John McCain. The percentage simply don't lie. Were we able to combine the two governor candidates into one super candidate, McCain would have lost Florida.
But the question I have to keep asking myself is why exactly do so many voters of the Republican party not seem to be buying into this war hero from Arizona? Is it because of his voting record? Could it be because in the past month he has been saying things about his opponents that usually spew from the mouths of doom and gloom liberals? In case you weren't listening, or perhaps had fallen asleep, I think McCain's favorite campaign buzz word was "timetables". The Dems have Barrack over there doing his Paul Simon version of "150 ways to CHANGE your country" where he says the word "change" at least 3 times per sentence, and we've got Mr. Timetable.
So, that's why we need to turn to someone from the Sci-Fi Channel to see if there is a way that the heart of the Republican party, the loyal conservatives, can finally get what they really want and need - Candidiate Mitt Huckabee!!
Imagine a guy with all the leadership experience of a governor, a clear and practical understanding of business, the economy, and a heartfelt love for our country! He would have that charismatic communication ability to deliver homilies as inspiring as Barrack and a heck of a lot more invigorating than Hillary. This candidate would also bring the real world realization that we must continue to take the fight to our attackers as opposed to sitting around holding hands, wanting the rest of the world to be our new BFF, and hope that those horrific terrorists just decide to leave us alone. Hillary's spouse tried that sitting around for 2 terms, which was just about long enough to form plans like those from that horrific Sepember.
But it looks like this ideal candidate won't be on this upcoming ballot. I have no doubt that in the days and months to follow, that war hero from Arizona will do whatever it takes to win the heart of his party, the conservative. McCain and his handlers know all too well that assuring the conservative heart is the only way he can win in November. That is, of course, unless he is lucky enough to be running against Bill's wife. That would be the best case scenario for the GOP.
