#1 Huck, but refusing to leave the primary process after he had zero chane at the nomination accomplished nothing other than costing Romney the nomination over McLame. This led to President obama. Romney would have had a beeter chance to beat him then McCain.

Because of this Huck will never get my vote.

#3 Yes, and I remember when Rudy and Hillary were locks to run in the 2008 election. It's way too early for speculation.

#4 At this point, it's as much a name recognition thing as anything.

#5 Romney would have had a beeter chance to beat him then McCain.

Romney would have been demolished. He would have lost 60-40.

I voted for Romney in the primary. I liked him. But he was saddled with his performance in Massachusetts. He wasn't liked by the social cons. And he never, ever would have picked Sarah Palin who was the one who brought votes to McCain.

Maybe Romney has a chance in 2012, maybe not, but 2008 would have seen him flattened.

#6 Huckabee would be a disaster. Surely we can find someone who is not an ignorant creationist?

#10 My Two-Cents Worth:

If it's basically winable in 2012, Bobby Jindal will run, and he has my vote. If it isn't winable, he won't run, and it doesn't really matter who I vote for.

#13 Ya know, as far as I'm concerned we have an ignorant creationist in the white house right now, so spare the crap. I don't give a damn if the next president believes giant ducks inhabit another planet so long as: lower taxes, balance the budget, national defense, stop or reverse federal growth, can provide leadership. After we get the present and future taken care of, then we can pick our collective navels about that kind of stuff.

#14 Huck is a snake-oil-selling populist tool. I don't like or trust him
