I guess it's better than President Gravel....

Full disclosure: I am biased towards him. I am one of his bloggers (ie on his official blogroll).

Richardson vs Huckabee would be an interesting matchup. They both know each other since they have worked as Governors together. I've also heard that they are in contact with each other for a possible debate, even before the primaries begin (because neither are happy with the face time they get during the debates in their own party)

"The Huckabee Administration" kinda makes me wanna giggle...

Gravel is the only Democrat I'd vote for. Why? Because he is the only Democrat candidate that supports the FairTax.

Mike Huckabee will win the GOP nomination for President.

You are now free to laugh at me.

He did seem to be the most poised, well spoken individual in yesterdays debate....well, except for Paul(but he doesn't count;) )

I loved the part where a panalist pretty much asked Huckabee to trash Rudy and Mike refused to do it...whereupon Rudy led a round of applause for Huckabee(that was kinda sureal).

It does...and he'd be laughing right with us. Speaking of the administration Mike discussed the Chuck Norris endorsement during a bloggers conference call tonight and he was not expecting it. Mike doesn't know him personally but is a big fan. Mike's wife is even a bigger fan and is ecstatic. Of course the rumors are already out there about Chuck getting a position in the administration but Mike hadn't give it a thought yet. Though I think he might consider it.

From an editorial of support in the New York Times, higher than expected poll numbers in Iowa, praise from Dick Morris in a recent column, and the success at the Values Voters summit and the debate last night everything is coming up roses right now. They are having to bring in extra phones (they ring off the hook to donate money) and increased internet server capacity (higher than ever web traffic causes the server to crash at times). Money is raining down from the heavens like confetti at a Disney ceremony (almost $110,000 and counting online today alone)!

Okay enough spinning. LOL

***Disclaimer:
I haven't been paying attention to the elections at all. I'm on a news diet at the moment. I'm merely commenting on the way the names sound. I have no idea where these candidates stand on anything.

I heard yesterday that the Republican candidate who has received the most donations from military personnel is ... Ron Paul. I found that interesting.
