I heart Huckabee? The only think I like about him is he had the nuts to criticise George W. Bush.

...or as I now call him regularly, Mike Hucksterbee. Seriously, this guy is a democrat in conservative Christian clothing. Just recently, he slammed the Bush Administration's foreign policy and seemed to channel John Edwards by weakly saying that terrorists must be attacked by "attack[ing] the underlying conditions that breed them: the lack of basic sanitation, health care, education, jobs, a free press, fair courts." Naturally, he also called for diplomatic relations with the Hitler of the 21st century, Mahmoud A-Mad-Man-in-a-Jihad.

Not only that, but Hucksterbee is weak on the most important issue of the 2008 election, in my opinion, illegal immigration. Constantly, he came out on the side of granting free education to illegal aliens among other things.

On crime, he also granted a disturbing amount of clemencies during his tenure of the governor of Arkansas.

And, as a secular republican, his overtly religious ways (George W. Bush, to compare and contrast, has always been more subtle and tasteful when evoking his religious beliefs, which I have a great respect for) such as signing a document in 1998 saying women should submit to their husbands and that he must "take back this nation for Christ!" is somewhat unsettling.

Overall, Hucksterbee is a democrat is republican's clothing. Or as Ann Coulter says, he is the "republican's Jimmy Carter." And, we all know how bad Carter was!

Huckabee is good on social issues, but bad on everything else. He is a friend of illegal aliens.

The man has it right and would serve the american people well. Lets get behind Mike Huckabee

has great values. stands up for what i believe in. has my vote!

Mikey doesn't believe in evolution. . .his mere existence provides some evidence for his fantasy. ..

a preacher, a baptist, and he doesn't believe in evolution! Just what we need, another moron in the white house

Aw shucks, I'm Mike Huckabee. Don't I just make you think of the Andy Griffith Show? Call me your friendly small-town neighbor who just wants to cozy up to ya with a couple suggestions. Can I interest ya in some of my books? They're right practical, see: "From Hope to Higher Ground: 12 Steps to Restoring America's Greatness," "Character Is the Issue: How People With Integrity Can Revolutionize America," "Kids Who Kill: Confronting Our Culture of Violence," and there's more, too. Not interested? Aw shucks. I just want you to heart Huckabee.

Mike Huckabee is an incredible ideological candidate. He's a conservative-based moderate-Pro-Life, Pro-Traditional Marriage, Pro-Welfare Reform, Pro-Tax Cuts, but also Pro-Health Insurance for everyone who can't afford it and Pro-Conservation. I think he's an ideal candidate to match up against a "conservative Democrate". It's time to put an "Outsider" (with a relatively clean record) in the White House!!!

I live in Arkansas and Huckabee has been nothing but a dem in republicans clothing. Letting murderers go, taking away rights of business owners and raising taxes.No, NO, No!

A compelling candidate to say the least. Huckabee would make an interesting candidate in that he has enough conservative credentials to get the party nod and enough moderate credentials to win a national election. His lack of experience in foreign affairs could prove a difficult obstacle to overcome in this day and age, but it's been done before. One of the few Republicans who could win in 2008, given his recent attempts to distance himself from some Bush Administration policies.

With Frist slipping to the wayside after his comments on stem cell research, I am seeing my governor as a stronger and stronger competitor. In his early years as governor, he showed a bit of naivety in some of his dealings, but he has come into his own in recent years. I completely support his school consolodation efforts. The schools aren't having to change their mascots, children aren't having to move schools, they are simply making the districts larger so you don't have an administrator looking after every 500 student district. These are the people that make the real money and there are too many in Arkansas as many of our schools are rural. This is a good solution. I also like the emphasis he has put on health. In my town (of 60,000), there are no bike or hiking trails, no health food stores, and health clubs are few and far between. People seem to accept the fact that people in Arkansas have more heart attacks than most states. That's just the way it is. Finally, we have somebody that wants to tackle the nations biggest killer, by catching up with the rest of the country on nutrition and fitness.

I would trust him above any other person. He will do the right thing at the right time and make you proud to be associated with him.

He is an Arkansas Governor replaced Bill Clinton and Jim Guy Tucker. Although he was just a pastor, but, however, he has a perfectest role than every other possible Republican presidential candidate and Conservatives. In 2008, there will be some reasons that he will be run perfectly, 1. a 12-year Governor (the second longest Governor), 2. a Compassionate Conservative, 3. a Governor of the economic growing State.
