Mike Huckabee?
I just heard him on On Point via public radio, WAMU in DC.
I was really stunned and impressed at his enthusiasm, optimism and outlook. I don't think I have heard such an uplifting guy in politics since the OTHER guy from Hope, AR.
You gotta love a guy that lost over a hundred pounds. That's transformation.
Politically speaking, I am not wild about Mike Huckabee at all. He's pro-life and frankly I'm enough of a one issue voter that there's NO FREAKIN' WAY I'd vote for him because of that position alone. But I found him remarkably in line with my thoughts about the stupidness of the creation/evolution debate. His feeling is that he takes his kids to church to indoctrinate them about religion and doesn't expect school to align with religious views because kids learn a great many things at school but do not take all of them to heart. HEAR HEAR. Give your kids some credit and let them think on their own about God! After all the beauty of God's gift of free will is that when faced with the notion that God perhaps didn't create the world exactly as we know it, you can either reject or accept it.
All of his kids went to public school for all twelve years. He's a guy who puts his money where his mouth is and I'm all for that.
I didn't listen to all of it in detail because I was busy doing some other blogging, but the parts I did hear left me with a good impression. I mean, if I have to choose between evils, the guy is looking pretty good.

You're overlooking one fundamental fact: the name "Huckabee" is stupid.
If he changed his name to...Steel, say, I might give him more attention. Or better yet, let the computer in the Pentagon what names military operations rename *him*.
I think President URGENT FURY would be super.
GL - Are you telling me that
GL - Are you telling me that you don't <3 Huckabee?
You knew that was coming.
URGENT FURY? I presume that's always in red lettering as well?
Oh, you know it sister. The
Oh, you know it sister. The red scare lettering, so it looks a little bloody, you know?
And maybe...maybe a little slanted, so it looks like it was scrawled by a victim of our new President...yeah, slain by his naked steel on a battlefield of hoarfrost, illuminated by a midnight sun, the last man and king of a mad, bloodthirsty army, stopped by a mighty final blow of our President's battleaxe that cleaved his foe from crown to crotch...and....and...ok, and clinging to life by his desire to kill infidels, despite being nearly clove in twain, the enemy manages to scrawl "URGENT FURY" in the snow with his own gushing blood.
*THAT* kind of lettering.
Is there a name for that? Conan Sans Serif...?
GL - I say "President Blood
GL - I say "President Blood Eagle!"
He can let his mutilation of his victims speak for themselves rather than indulging in the girly practice of spelling.
Mr. Huckabee is an optimist,
Mr. Huckabee is an optimist, but his policy decisions at state level have been a disaster. I mean Clinton certainly left a mess here, but Huckabee certainly fought no big fights here.
He also instituted the policing of foods in public schools, all while Physical Education programs are being cut.
He is the wishiest of the washiest.
