All About McCain

[Alex]

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)?

The VP has as much power as he allows the president, just look at Darth Cheney.

(yes, that sentence was deliberately written that way)
