<p>“There may be a new national frontrunner in the Republican race for the White House.
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, has vaulted over former New York City Mayor Giuliani for the first time in the Rasmussen Reports daily survey. Huckabee earned 20 percent of the likely primary vote compared to Giuliani’s 17 percent.”</p>
<p>From Huffington Post</p>
<p>“As governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee aggressively pushed for the early release of a convicted rapist despite being warned by numerous women that the convict had sexually assaulted them or their family members, and would likely strike again. The convict went on to rape and murder at least one other woman.
Confidential Arkansas state government records, including letters from these women, obtained by the Huffington Post and revealed publicly for the first time, directly contradict the version of events now being put forward by Huckabee.”</p>
<p>This is due to likeability. Isn’t this the same reason we ended up with the current occupant in the White House? Hope the electorate is smarter this time around.</p>

<p>Huckabee is very different. I suspect that he may be much too liberal for me.</p>

<p>:eek:</p>
<p>i don’t know, a guy who pushes to free a rapists before his time because he thinks the girl, a Clinton relative 17, lied and the animal was falsly accused, and then that same guy receives all sorts of letter saying the guy will kill this time,and this guy basically believes the animal and not all the women he hurt…well, yeah, he is just as likable as can be</p>
<p>lets see- hate women much, mr h?</p>
<p>He’s very liberal on immigration and taxation issues which are my top two. Oh and the Dumond case is another example of being too liberal for me 'cause I’m not big on soft on crime candidates.</p>
<p>I think Huckabee’s likability is very different from anything W offered. For one thing, most liberals hated W’s guts from day one. A lot of liberals like Huckabee quite a bit, even though we’d never vote for him. A big part of the reason is that, so far at least, he seems quick on the uptake and able to poke fun at himself. W presented himself as the voice of the people and God’s agent on Earth, all at once…and he believed it. Huckabee comes across as the opposite. Too bad I can’t agree with him about practically anything.</p>
<p>He is not liberal on tax issues. His proposal to get rid of the IRS and replace the income tax with a sales tax will take the guts out of the middle class. He is just another politican with a smile on his face and a knife in his hand.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree, I question the validity of his response to certain issues, his smile seems very fake.</p>
<p>I think he’s just being propped up by the fundamentalists because he’s a pastor.</p>
