Could Mike Huckabee be the next U.S. president?

mike_huckabee.jpgMike Huckabee has passed Mitt Romney in polling numbers in Iowa, and frankly, he’s been doing a better job during the candidate debates.

- He’s second in Republican polling right now, and sometimes I think Giuliani has a little too much baggage.
- He’s from the same town as Bill Clinton (Hope, Arkansas). Population 10,467. What are the chances of that?
- He passed Mitt Romney in the Iowa Polls.
- He’s an ordained Southern Baptist Minister, so he appeals to the right, but he has also been accused of being a liberal in disguise because he likes to raise taxes.
- Chuck Norris endorses him (Chuck Norris doesn’t endorse, he says how it’s going to be)

Okay, none of these are great reasons to vote for him, but I certainly didn’t see the Huckabee train coming. Did you?

He’s not qualified and when all the negative stuff about his administration in AK comes more into public view - he’ll slip back into obscurity or head back to the pulpit…one of the two.

Not to brag, but I’ve been watching this train pull up for some time. His momentum has clearly been building over several months, part of it do to him being a “media darling.” He’s soft spoken, and an underdog. Who doesn’t love that.

Besides that, he’s done very well at the debates. I do agree with what Chris said though. Not a lot of his record has been looked at under the microscope. When it does, it will be interesting to see how he fares. However, when this story broke, Huckabee’s Role in Rapist Parole it was interesting to see how he down played the mistake in judgment: Politicking.
