I would not be surprised if McCain picked Lieberman, who's been following him around the campaign trail like a lovesick puppy. Lieberman is no longer a Democrat but could attract the moderates and independents that McCain needs to win. They are simpatico on foreign policy and McCain knows that Conservatives will tolerate Lieberman because he's snubbed the Democrats on Iraq.

I totally agree with you!!!

One discrepancy though is this:
"Huckabee... always opposed to a constitutional amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman for life"

It is the opposite, he has always been FOR a traditional marriage amendment.

The most important part of Huckabee's victories is that they show that the Establishment can be beat.

The Constitution is very explicit on the fact that the Government is supposed to be our servant and not the other way around.

Big money has controlled our country for too too too long...........

It is time to change that and Huckabee victories are showing the way

Huckabee is the only one who could beat Hillary or Obama. It would be a good choice for the country if Romney and Paul got out of the way and endorsed Huck.

I do agree with your Huckabee – Romney argument. However the notion of a McCain/Huckabee or Huckabee/McCain ticket is just silly. The general election will be won by the candidate who draws the independent vote. Independent voters will not support Huckabee and if McCain were to be the nominee he would be foolish to chose Huckabee as his running mate. You heard it here.

kritt: Precisely. One of the key words of this election season is AUTHENTICITY. McCain and Huckabee, irrespective of how people feel about them or their views, are perceived as authentic. Romney is not.

Authenticity is also valued by those who have supported Obama on the Democratic side.

What makes the primary victories by Huckabee and McCain more remarkable is that they were able to achieve them without the superior advantages Romney has in funding and organization. I believe that Romney is not striking a chord with Republican voters because he is not perceived as holding genuine convictions.
