The only reason the Noonans are attacking the Huckster is precisely because of the few decent elements in his makeup. Free a rapist-murderer to piss off Bill Clinton? That’s just fine! Raise taxes to keep state infrastructure from collapsing? RELEASE THE HOUNDS!

The Huckster should name that Dumond feller as his running mate

Dumond was found dead in his Missouri prison cell in 2005, supposedly a result of cancer but I’m sure there are some who think it was the Clenis who done it.

I don’t want to discount the ground game in the primaries, but the media horse-race can change in an afternoon. All it takes is one odd scream and the whole dynamic changes.

Plus, Huck does have the makings of a ground game in place … every Southern Baptist/Evangelical church in the nation, already highly politicized after the 2004 election.

That said, a Huck nomination would be another Goldwater event within the GOP. Huck gets the nod because the fundies are a majority of the GOP. The “Chamber of Commerce” Republicans take a backseat in the general election. Huck loses in a friggin’ landslide. The fundies are thereby humbled, they lose their influence, and the commercial interests resume control.

The Huckster should name that Dumond feller as his running mate . . . the one with no nuts.

That was a guy he really liked. I think America will like him, too.

I don’t mean to interrupt, but if anyone can point me to The Transcendental Thought of Jeremiah “Liver Eater” Johnson, I’ll be able to continue my serious research into “Ronald Reagan’s Brain; or How Peggy Noonan Was the Real Great Communicator.”

Momentum is only as good as your ability to expolit it. That means 1) organization on the ground, and 2) money (in that order). So far, Huckabee has neither. He might get #2 if he wins Iowa, but it doesn’t mean shit if he doesn’t have #1.

Teen birthrate up for the first time in fourteen years.

That abstinence only education sure does work.

Vote for RethugliKKKlans, get the polar opposite of what you voted for.

The only thing that will bring out the Republicans is if the Dems nominate Hillary.

ding ding ding ding. I agree that it will come down to that, np matter how much baggage the republican party has to ignore. And the media will see to it that Hillary has to fight the campaign from hell.

“Otherwise, how did all our oil get underneath their sand?”

Bullseye.

On Sundays it’s six thousand years-old.

On Mondays, when figuring out where to drill, it’s suddenly 4.5 billion years old again.

What is it about the governors of Arkansas and their irrepressible genitalia?
Huckaboner. Clenis. Won’t someone think of the children?
