Your turn at the Soapbox

Lately and expecially after the last GOP debate, (which I admit are way too many) I am surprisingly impressed with Mike Huckabee. Though my ultimate choice for the nomination still lies with Romney, I see Huckabee as a very viable candidiate.

Coming from the Clinton political machine state of Arkansas, he seems to be one who could beat Clinton. We are going to have to face the reality that Clinton will get the democratic nod. So the question now becomes, who will be able to beat Hillary for the White House. Huckabee could do it. He comes from a Baptist background having been a Baptist minister. Though some of the Baptist views are different from mine, he isn't running with that as his mind set. He has very clear motives and reasons for his White House bid. He is not a one platform candidate. He is strong on immigration, healthcare, family values, and the detriment of big government. I think as the American people start to see and hear him a little more often, he will break into the top tier. He could have a little more popularity than Romney just becasue of the religion card. Baptist in the White House isn't nearly as scary as a Mormon in the White House, for whatever reason.
Huckabee was the Governor of Arkansas, as was a Clinton. But this Governor has a lot more to show for his stint in that seat than does Clinton. I have been really impressed with his responses in the debates. he had an interview recently with Glenn Beck and was amazing. Glenn actually said," I wanted this interview so that I could write you off as a candidate for the presidency, I cannot do that now." Youtube that interview and you will see what I mean. This thing ain't over till it's over...
