Huckabee getting the nomination is the Dem's wet dream. He's too far right to get the moderates vote.

All the reliable polls I have seen have Huckabee about a point and a half behind Romney. The mainstream media is already playing the race as a two-way between McCain and Romney. That kind of coverage is hard to overcome. It looks like we're headed for another evil-of-two-lessers election. I'm beginning to wish I hadn't sold all those guns...

His 15 minutes are up. As soon as he made that stupid comment about amending the Constitution, he lost steam.

And Romney is too far left to get my vote. (Actually, that means two votes. My husband agrees with me.)

Wait, are you 18 yet? For some reason I thought you were 17.....

She'll be able to vote in the general election. I think she'll give it to Hillary instead.

Yes I'm 17 now, but I'll be 18 before the election.

What have I ever said that would lead you to think I would vote for Clinton?

Here is a list of people for whom I will not vote because of their positions on abortion and the second amendment.

Clinton
Obama
Romney

McCain is not pro-choice, nor is he anti-gun. But I don't think those issues really matter much to him. I don't really think I can trust him to appoint judges or Supreme Court justices who would differ substantially from any appointed by Clinton, Obama, or Romney.

I don't know what Ron Paul's position is on those two topics if he were to run on a third party platform. But, like McCain, I don't think those issues matter much to him. If Huckabee isn't nominated and Ron Paul were to run as a third party candidate, I would have to look at that though.

Only a small percentage of voters actually vote based on those two issues. But without those voters, a Republican candidate cannot win. He might come close, but he cannot win. That's why Romney has flip-flopped from his previous positions on those issues. I can't speak for anyone else, of course, but my husband and I don't trust him. Based on his history of support for anti-gun legislation, abortion, and gay marriage, we consider him to be a San Fransisco Style Liberal.

I can only hope that a small number of people vote based on an issue like abortion, people that vote only on things like that and gay marriage is part of the reason our candidates are going to crap.
