These last 4 were the bottom of the barrell and Huck is a slight step up on McCain, but that ain't saying much. I would give huck more points if he wasn't such an a-hole. Let them go to a brokered convention. They deserve it. Kyle, I think the issue is that we don’t have any conservatives running, and the two we did have didn’t make a blip on the radar.

He is actually asking that the people running the party finish counting all 100% of the votes. Also, Huckabee is not out of line for staying in the race until he is mathematically eliminated. These are the party rules. Now we cannot even expect the republicans to follow their OWN rules? Give me a break. Maybe Michelle can call up Ingraham, Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin and have order a massive brick of Velveeta cheese. After all, what goes better with WHINE than a whole lotta cheese. Crybaby Romney shills get over it. Your Ken Doll lost. Anyone who thinks Romney is conservative can stop drinking the LSD spiked KOOL AID. GO HUCKABEE!!!!

I was really thinking about the various media types and bloggers who (for partisan reasons) have told lie after lie about Bush. Paul Krugman and Markos Moulitsas are good examples. Neither has written an honest word about Bush in 7 years. Scott, the “cheap shot” reference wasn’t directed at you (although I see that it kinda reads that way).

You can characterize my comment as cheap shot all you want, but it's hardly cheap. Yeah, were all waiting for history to sort out the last 8 years.

Bush is not a conservative and probobly could have gotten the Democratic nod in '76. He gave us the tax cuts, but refused to fight to make them permanet, and he gave us two fine justices. Other than that, he has served the GOP to the Democrat party on a silver platter. The GOP has not embraced the conservative base since '98.

Scott, your comment is evidence that old memes never die. This is exactly what faux-progressives said about Reagan in 1989. Since then, Reagan has not only become an icon for conservatives, he is consistently ranked by historians (including many Lefties) as one of the most effective Presidents ever. Why? Because history doesn't give a rat's ass about cheap shots leveled at Presidents by poseurs in the NYT or the blogosphere. “Bush has effectively alienated the moderate and economic republicans.”

Bush has effectively alienated the moderate and economic republicans. For that the party will suffer and just maybe the conservatives will reconsider their moral high ground on the issues.

Huckabee doesn't have a chance. Of course, McCain shouldn't have either, but the media all jumped on board his bandwagon and manufactured enough momentum that he'll be the one conceding to the Democrat nominee in November. I'm not looking forward to the next four years. Probably not the greatest analogy, since the Patriots beat the Chargers.

And he still can. Don't believe the pundits - have they been right about ANYTHING in Election '08? No. They have a 0% track record in making predictions. Why believe them now. McCain has mainly won states that Republicans are guaranteed to lose in the general election. And Huckabee is supposed to just step to the side and we're supposed to coronate McCain? It would be like if the AFC Commissioner asked the San Diego Chargers to forfeit the AFC Championship just so that the presumed champions, the Patriots, would be able to represent the conference. You've gotta win and actually beat people if you want the prize. No, he’s in it to win it. And he still can. Don’t believe the pundits - have they been right about ANYTHING in Election ‘08?
