Comments on: Mike Huckabee: The Story Of The Night? http://donklephant.com/2008/02/05/mike-huckabee-the-story-of-the-night/ Big Teeth. Huge Ass. Surprisingly Reasonable.

He also called the prospect of McCain-Huckabee as the "Worst. Republican. Ticket. Ever." Not sure if I'd go quite that far, but if I'm Barack Obama I can't help but thinking that the stars are aligning nearly perfectly for his campaign. Meanwhile on CNN they showed an interesting exit poll result from Arizona: Even though McCain won the GOP primary there, Romney beat him by about ten percentage points among voters identifying themselves as conservative. That's right; McCain can't even win over conservative Republicans in his own state! Ouch. Once again I see Ron Paul is a non-factor in every state. No surprise there of course. His message appealed to me, and to millions of other voters. The messenger, not so much. Unfortunately for Paul, we don't vote for disembodied messages in our elections, because, well, we need a real live person to actually govern as President.

We'll see. McCain might be a moron for choosing him by alienating anti-religious right moderates though. We’ll see.
