The chattering classes are beginning to notice Mike Huckabee, the slim fast former Arkansas Gov, and Repub POTUS wanna-hucka-bee. I thought the guy had a shot months ago when I saw him with Bill Maher. He looks like Kevin Spacey, has a sense of humor, and he hides his extreme positions well. I can't help but like the HuckMan, and the fact that he isn't afraid of Grover Norquist (why would anyone name a child Grover Norquist???) endears Huckmiester to me. But...... here's the rub:
Huckabee opposes abortions, same-sex marriages, and civil unions.
Huckabee is against gun control and is an avid hunter.
Huckabee supports the death penalty.
Huckabee has voiced his support of creationism.
The guy is a Southern Baptist minister, and once worked for TeeVee evangelist James Robinson. The world is in too serious a mess, and our country is at too critical a crossroads to turn it over to another yahboob who thinks the earth is 6,000 years old, and that every word of the bible is to be taken as literal truth. Anyone who has an ounce of objectivity and an IQ above room temp can see that those positions require not just faith, but a lobotomy.
In defense of the Hucker-roo, he seems 100% more decent than the rest of the sorry sons of bitches looking for the nod from the Republicans. I hope we don't forget that his is the party of Rove, Cheneny, Gonzo, and that jack off artist Larry Craig.
On the Dems side, my dream ticket has been Gore/Edwards (Elizabeth, not John). Since that does not seem likely, and I'm not an Obama fan; I'll support JohnEdwards over Hillary for a couple of reasons:
1. Hillary could lose to the R's because she is:
Huckabee opposes abortions, same-sex marriages, and civil unions.
Huckabee is against gun control and is an avid hunter.
Huckabee supports the death penalty.

A. Hillary.
B. Hillary.
2. If I need an operation, I don't want my proctologists wife playing around with the periscope up my ass, I want the GUY WITH THE ACTUAL EXPERIENCE. (No, not Sen. Craig)
One nightmare scenario is this: The general election comes down to Hillary vs. Huckary. 300+ million people in America and we end up with a choice between the woman who rode shotgun all those years in Bills pickup, and a guy in a van with a "Ask Me How I Lost Weight" bumper sticker. Fucking perfect.
