It is now 100% official. Governor MIke Huckabee let his supporters know he will not be McCain's running mate. Not only was ne not on his short list he was not vetted or considered. I'm am so pissed off right now. :mad:
So yes I WILL NOT even think of voting for John McCain on November 4th. |
I would figure you are parallel to a Hillary supporter and I wonder how long your anger will burn within you, and if you'll end up eventually supporting him after anger subsides or if you won't.
You can be our little spurned political experiment. |
The man was running against McCain. Why did he (and his supporters) expect McCain to consider him? Does he run parallel with McCain on his beliefs?
|
A good point but Joe Biden ran against Obama right? John Edwards ran against John Kerry, Jack Kemp ran against Bob Dole, Al Gore ran against Bill Clinton, George Bush Sr. ran against Ronald Reagan, Walter Mondale ran against Jimmy Carter etc..
I'll be very honest. I would not be upset if McCain's other rivals were not being considered (or seem to be at least). At the end of the day is it possible that I will hold my nose? Maybe. Will I be making phone calls, waving signs, knocking on doors, and doing everything else I did for Huckabee. Of course not. McCain better hope he does have a large group of people that are willing to do that. At this moment I doubt he will have a group of people like that. |
I would have been ok with Huckabee as vice president because, unless McCain were to win and then die, Huckabee would be unable to do any of the harm I think he'd be inclined to do (and I know that what I see as harm you wouldn't) since the vice president has no power and McCain's flirting with the fundamentalist crowd probably wouldn't survive inauguration day and then would breifly rekindle in 2011.

You do realize that that not all of Huckabee's supporters are fundamentalists (I'm definietly not one of those) and didn't even get half of their vote during the primaries (although he did have more than anyone else but not by a wide margin)?
|
Yes, I know that not all of Huckabee's supporters are fundamentalists. Huckabee is a fundamentalist.

However they never attacked each other. In fact the spent the Primary season in mutual respect, even defending each other against the mudslinging from other candidates. During debates they could be heard complimenting each other Until the end of the line whenever there was a concession or victory speech by the two of them they always included compliments on running clean and respectful campaigns against each other. |
