I like Huckabee as a person, he definitely has the best sense of humor of the candidates. His 'alliance' with Chuck Norris is hilarious. But the man is a fundamentalist christian and wants to take away the separation between church and state.
"[Some of my opponents] do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it's a lot easier to change the constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God, and that's what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards," - Huckabee
Mitt Romney has 'flip-flopped' on his issues far more then Kerry ever did during the 2004 election. Look at his record on abortion, taxes, and health care while he was Massachusetts governor compared to his platform now. He's basically changed his entire stance. I can understand your politics changing over time, but he's had a massive turnaround in just a couple years. I don't trust him further than I can throw him.

Obama's my first choice, followed by Mccain.

So it's down to either a Mormon, a senior citizen, a female socialist, or a black guy.


Who would have thought :chuckles:

Great. You'd pick either the man with no beliefs (who told his campaign workers in New Hampshire, "promise them anything to get their vote"), who changes his position on the issues more often than John Kerry ever thought of, or a bully who can't stand dissenting opinions.

Mitt was an ineffective governor here in Massholia, he disappeared once he started fixating on the White House (while all the time denying he was running for president), and he did a complete 180 on most of his views in order to pander to the right wing of the Republican party.

Rudy was sued on First Amendment grounds 27 times while he was mayor, and lost 23 times. He goes out of his way to bully those who disagree with him...and not just other politicians. He does it to ordinary people like us. Put him in Washington and you have a recipe for disaster. Governing and making laws requires tact, diplomacy and a willingness to compromise. The instant one Congress-critter tells Rudy that he's full of s**t, Rudy will have a fit and attempt to retaliate. What's worse, his hair-trigger temper doesn't belong anywhere within a hundred miles of the "football" (the large briefcase containing the controls to launch nuclear warhead strikes against enemies), which is never more than a few feet away from the president.

I'm a republican and I refuse to support McCain. Having lived in Mass while Mitt was the gov, and now having lived in the stated McCain is supposed to support I will never throw my support behind this man. Given a choice between Mitt and McCain I'd have to go with Mitt. I'd sooner vote for Ron Paul as an independent if Mitt isn't a choice. I have to vote, I just hope I'm not faced with McCain as my party's choice. I might actually vote Decomcrate for the first time in my life just to make sure McCain does not get into office. I'd rather see a real liberal make it into office over a RINO(Republican in name only).
If Hilary and McCain are my choices, God help me. Those two are un-electable in my opnion. As liberal as Obama is, he's at least likable.

i cant vote independent, even if i like the candidate better, i know that they cant possibly win a general election.

and i wont vote democrat so i guess no matter who.... i just hope we can get a decent pres/vice pres combo.

mccain could save himself with a lot of conservatives if he chooses a decent vice pres

It won't matter who he chooses as a running mate if he gets the nod. He's done more to hurt the state of Arizona then help. He hasn't done much of anything in the senate with running for president. His voting record is horrible. If you want to see how strong of a canidate he is, look to see how he does in his own home state. The conservative base out here hates him with a passion including me.
