More Good News: Huckabee Surging in Virgina, Nipping At McCain's Ankles

Thus bringing us closer to the nightmare scenario of a McCain/Huckabee ticket.


TNR notes this Huckabee quote on it being more or less mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination:

The pundits say the math doesn't work out. Well, folks, I didn't major in math. I majored in miracles.

I guess the line is kind of cute. Or it would be cute, if he had a qualification for the presidency apart from his religion.

1 I majored in miracles.

Yeah, and you failed. Trust me on this one.

2 Seriously I've been thinking about voting for Huck tomorrow just to fuck with McCain, but maybe I should vote for Hillary.

Wait.  Isn't that a direct quote from Huckabee's Economic Policies page on his website?

You know, I could do without a Republican candidate, let alone a president, who comes out and admits point blank he sucks at math.

Or economics.

fwiw, it's not like the Dems are all sweetness and light. 

Here's Kos's comment on the spin from the Hillary! Campaign:

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/2/11/121758/950/294/454307

[One] of the hilarious side-effects of every Obama victory is the spin from Clinton quarters and its surrogates and supporters explaining why said victories "don't matter".

Iowa didn't matter because it was a caucus state, and it's undemocratic. Same goes for every other caucus state including Maine. The only caucus state that mattered was Nevada.

Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Alaska, and Utah don't matter because they're small Red states that Democrats won't carry in November.

Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Louisiana don't matter because they have black people. Expect the same spin out of DC this Tuesday. Black people don't apparently count.

Washington and Minnesota don't matter because they have educated white people.

In any case, Washington, Nebraska, and Louisiana didn't matter on Saturday because everyone expected Obama to win them anyway.

...

Hell, at this rate, given the proper odds, I'd put a $20 on Huckabee vs. Obama election

Heh...BEST. ELECTION. EVAH!

If only to watch the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth from Clintonista's and McCainiacs.

7 Oh, I'd say this makes it far LESS likely to see a McCain/Huckabee ticket. It's one thing when Huckabee was presumably helping McCain at the expense of Romney. Now, it's just highlighting the lack of unanimity behind McCain. Which suits me fine, but has to be pissing McCain off something fierce.

I'm in VA and am still not sure what to do tomorrow.  Stay home?  Vote Dem as counter sabotage on the Dem process?  I'm leaning toward the latter, but I'm not sure which of the two knuckle draggers to pick in order to screw up their nomination process the way they did ours.

9 A brokered convention is still possible.

Well, Pistolero, I voted for Obama to screw with the Dems' process and to try to drive a stake thru the heart of the Clintons once and for all.

I caught hell for it from a lot of peeps here who prefer Hillary as the potential nominee for a variety of reasons, but that's ok. So, if it helps you that's at least what I did.

11 Jack M.,

You only caught hell because we are all racists!

12 To be fair, I saw There Will Be Blood this weekend and Huckabee was very good in it as the preacher.

McCain was kinda scary as the lead, tho.

What? 

There's still a little life left in that joke.  Especially if the "brokered convention" scenario actually has legs.

17 at least Huckabee was a governor and not a useless Senator.  I think he at least has the mental capacity to understand certain conservative principles whereas McCain doesn't know or care about anything other than national security. 
Stupid Romney, damn you for suspending!

Posted by: the prussians at February 11, 2008 04:29 PM (NXelq)

18 His quote would be a lot cuter if he were muttering it through the bars of a very secure cell.

Voting tomorrow. Feh. It's like the choice between cold lima beans and that bony fish mom used to buy.

19 I don't know if Huck has good speech writers or just comes up with funny stuff all on his own, but I wish you could transfer his personality to the Republican nominee.

Posted by: Dirk at February 11, 2008 05:15 PM (AJx67)

Thus far, two phone calls from the Huckster and one from Commander McBragg.  This is beyond awful--I had planned to pinch my nostrils and vote for McCain (choice 6 of 7) over Huckabee (choice 7 of 7); but as I've noted elsewhere, an Obama victory would bring us closer to, a) Armageddon, as the cult of personality he inspires can only be ascribed to the fact he's the Antichrist, or b) a military overthrow.

So I'll be writing in "military overthrow--Gen Petraeus" on my ballot.  Unless they only have electronic ballots, in which case my sedition will be recorded and I'll be rounded up.

21 I don't like Senator McCain, but how is it good news that an even worse choice is winning? Both of these guys suck, what on earth difference does it make how the election goes at this point?

"Thus bringing us closer to the nightmare scenario of a McCain/Huckabee ticket."

Another great plan begins to come together. Bring it on.

To change the subject, Drudge has a picture of the little Clinton pimp up.  Is it my imagination, or are all children of democrat president's facially challenged?  She look like Carter's daughter's twin.  Hmm, Jimmmy more than lust??

This subject deserves a thread!

You want nightmares? You really want nightmares?

The Oyster tag heuer Watchescase was an tag heuer watches innovative design to eliminate these problems. It had a new double locking crown that screwed into place. It has been compared to the hatch on a submarine. Like a submarine, the Oyster case was waterproof. In 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English breitling Watches Channel breitling watches . Before she set off she was presented with a Rolex Oyster. When she arrived, the watch was still working perfectly. The resulting publicity gave the new case a massive boost. Why is it called Oyster? Legend has it that Hans cartier Watches Wilsdorf cartier watches, who invented the Oyster, chose the name because the new case reminded him of the difficulty he had experienced prising open oysters at dinner. Since then the Oyster has further, particularly advanced.
