Huckabee has made some incredibly uninformed comments about the Bhutto assasination, and then claimed it was impossible to be updated on all issues. Sounds too much like what we have now to me.

George Bush had executive experience, but his lack of foreign policy experience left him vulnerable, allowing Dick Cheney and the neocons to run the show. Traditionally, the Sec of State has a much larger role to play, but under Bush/Cheney Colin Powell had almost no influence, and Condi got a late start for her agenda, having to battle Cheney for control. We need to elect someone who has confidence in this area and who will restore the State Depts role.

Huck has such great principles that the attack commercial that he claims to have killed, is actually running on the ABC station in Cedar Rapids (Iowa’s second largest TV market) – I saw it running several times last night

My man Obama may not have been a governor, but he did great in law school, was a community organizer in Chicago, and climbed the ladder to become a US Senator with no help from family connections and (with what could be viewed as a handicap) he is an African-American. I’d like to believe that Obama is smart, worldly and knows the value of having good advisers. Given that he’s gotten to this point on his own (with a lot of hard work and some luck) tells me that he has enough experience to be President.

No one, except for osmotic Hillary, has the experience of being President before they become President.

Neither have experience, both are trying to rely on Charisma instead of Experience and depending on a “BASE” to propel them to the Nomination.

Huckabee has equal, if not more ,executive political experience than Romney and Guliani. Maybe people think Huckabee would help them change a flat or share a beer, whereas the others are just phonies in public’s perceptions.

Could it be that talking like a normal human being and not praising The Leader of Your Party at every turn or playing defense lawyer for him if his performance (or cover story) wasn’t stellar will appeal to many Republicans who have had enough with the elite now running the GOP? Could it be that his press conference won’t backfire on him but helped him get his message out?

I think that many people, Rep and Dem alike, don’t like Bush because he comes across as an idiot. Remember Bush’s down home appeal and simple language…. Huckabee is showing he’s just like Bush- right down to his combative stance with people who disagree with him (even leaders).

Huckabee isn’t expected to read all the reports that are in the news. But I would expect that Huckabee has advisors who keep him informed of at least the major breaking news stories, particularly news stories with a direct impact on US national security. But I guess Huckabee doesn’t feel he needs to know what’s happening in the world until he’s elected Prez- and this is just another example of how Huckabee is like Bush.

Bush is surrounded by advisors whose job is to keep him in the best possible public light. Bush likes his “yes” men and does not consider or welcome dissenting opinions.

Apparently Huckabee likes his advisors to focus on getting him elected, and does not want to be kept up to date in important matters that directly affect US security. I don’t know how he expects to successfully debate anyone if he doesn’t have a clue as to what’s going on.

Huckabee, the new Bush.

Neither have experience, both are trying to rely on Charisma instead of Experience and depending on a “BASE” to propel them to the Nomination.

Lets hope both parties reject their ambitions.
