Our politicians are way more fun up here, anyways.
Me, you and Anne Jackson all blogging politics today; what's that all about! :-)
And I'm still somewhat skeptical that Huck's conservative social views (which I agree with) are palatable for the country as a whole. I also think he's very vulnerable on foreign policy, especially to McCain.
ABH (Anyone but Hillary),

Huckabee plays to the ignorant blind religious right. All a politician needs to say is he is a christian and he is for fighting against terror, and he will win the bible belt. Los, you would only have to move if you are an Aids victim as Huckabee believes the best solution to cure Aids is to ship all Aids victims to an island.
Obama is the sexy choice, but as the time comes I am fearful for his socialist programs that could continue to bankrupt this country.
What I am surprised about in Iowa is this: How much these two men won by, and how Hilary ended up in third.
I am also curious if the female and conservative votes that propelled Huckabee in Iowa will follow him around the nation.
I'm also curious if Obama has to make Oprah his VP and Scarlett Johansson his Secretary of State.
My brother in-law, Loran, referred me to your VERY VERY COOL web site. Loran used to live in Atlanta and attended your church with his family. I think he left just before you arrived. Anyway, Loran suggested I watch your adoption video as we adopted from china two years ago. Our daughter just turned 3. Here is the link to our web page (we are smurfs compared to your savey blogging skills - just pics and sentiments, but it still gives jist of our family): http://www.ourforeverfamilyphotos.blogspot.com/
Also, here is link to our gotcha day w/in our blog:

We too have two older kids. Ours our twin teen boys. I identify with the business of your home. It's great isn't it! I love this life. Congrats on your boy.
Peace from fellow adoptive parent,

Unfortunately, I think Huckabee is pretty much done in for now, as he doesn't have any national organization to speak of. I say unfortunately because, for the liberal among us, we would love to run against Huckabee and would rather not have to deal with someone who might really be a threat like John McCain.
Momentum is one thing, but it only helps if the metaphorical campaign car has wheels. Obama's momentum will work because he has organization everywhere and is fundamentally grassroots. After the win on Thursday and all the weepy sentimentalism that followed, the campaign is cast as Hillary Clinton vs. The American Dream. And she can't win that.
Huckabee, again unfortunately for those of us looking for an easy win, has no where to go and no real plan except, I'm going to win. When you've got even Rush Limbaugh against you, you can't get a lot of traction without something else going for you, other than the power of prayer.
My prediction is a McCain/ Huckabee ticket vs. Obama/ Biden in the fall. I'm even willing to bet someone a dollar.
Know that you are loved,

If went thru your mind going to canada just because of political differences, think about the mexicans, their northern neighbors, the super power of the world, offering a better condition of life, which their sons will not hunger. I hope we do not need to go thru what mexicans go thru to come here. And that make me think we should be a little bit more receptive with these immigrants (either legal or illegal) who comes here for that purpose.
God bless y'all...
