		<description>Hello! I agree with you totally -- Mike Huckabee is absolutely brilliant, a gifted and shrewd strategist -- and also one of the most statesmanlike politicians we'll ever meet! And it takes someone with terrific perception to understand and convey his "M.O." to others. Kudos to you on this Fox Red Herring article. -Diane in North Olmsted (Cleveland), Ohio - a non-blogger but occasional commentor, here from OneMom's site:)</description>

		<description>I enjoy your Christian angle on these crazy politics of the day. I am a Mormon and am supporting Romney, not because he is Mormon but because of his economic acumen, something this country is really in need of right now. I like Huckabee's easy going style but I am getting nervous with this worsening economy. If Romney can do for the country what he has made a wildly successful career of with corporations then I'm on that express in NO time flat!

Anyway, I enjoy the blog posts, I'll be sure to venture this way again!</description>

		<description>Huck and Pawlenty are simply not gonna cut it. To win, McCain needs Sarah Palin as his veep-mate.

I do believe that Palin will get the nod.

		<description>In the end and after being pushed away by so called  fiscal conservatives with the like of The Club for Growth,Huckabee will be a compelling choice as the South will need to be "shored up".   Obama will compete for the conservative democrat vote, the Reagan democrat, people who are conservative socially, but moderate on fiscal issues. AS exhibited in Arkansas, Huckabee nows how to win these votes and keep them happy.

Mark it down, McCain/Huckabee 2008.</description>

		<description>Again.. I love Sarah and could totally get excited about her candidacy if it came to pass.. 

Far more than I could about Mr play both sides against the middle Pawlenty, who seems to be the odds on favorite these days.

If and when it becomes evident that Mike will not be getting the spot, I will be thrilled to advocate for Palin with all my energies.

I think we're all just spitting into the wind now though.. I suspect Pawlenty or Jindal will get the call.</description>

		<description>I think Alaska Gov Sarah Palin would be a much better pick (than Huckabee) as McCain's Veep.  A commenter on another post says it much better than I can:

"They say McCain reads the blogs, so here goes -- 

Senator McCain- Don't let the campaign kibbitzers muddle things up.

First and foremost, Sarah Palin shares your values. She killed the bridge to nowhere. Need we say more? 

As for the politics, Sarah Palin transcends geography. Her constituency, like yours, goes beyond state lines.

She will get your ticket access to voters all over the country based on who she is and what she stands for. Because she's young, a woman, a mother with young kids, she will grab media attention more than any other potential candidate.

Gov. Palin also has a son in the active duty military. You have very wisely taken your son's service in Iraq off the table as a campaign talking point. That is and should be respected. But others can talk about it and reflect on what it means. 

A McCain-Palin administration would be the first in memory which has family members in uniform during wartime from both the President and Vice President. That would be a powerful statement as to the importance of national service, especially in uniform.

Most importantly, any Vice President should be ready to step up and serve in the event she is needed. Frankly, who is really ever ready? Gov. Palin is as ready as anybody, she is a quick learner, and in her public career has exhibited the courage and decisiveness needed for a great leader. 

Godspeed to you in your campaign and in making this important decision."</description>
