    Seems he is a long way from fading. His win over Romney in Iowa will certainly make him tough to beat in New Hampshire even though quite a different voting base.

    From today's Washington Times:

    "Mike Huckabee wants to amend the Constitution to prevent children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens from automatically becoming American citizens, according to his top immigration surrogate — a radical step no other major presidential candidate has embraced."

    Not sure I like a preacher in the White House, but I like this.

    I agree with Huckabee on this, but it'll never happen.

    There are too many "Anchor Babies" in the US.

    I think these candidates should stop trying to impress the public in such a shallow way.

    Check this out all you 'usual suspects'!

    Oh my: Huckabee 45, Obama 44

    "Mike Huckabee has a 45-44 advantage over Obama, aided largely by a 44-38 lead with independents. There continues to be no evidence of any negative fallout for Huckabee after murders of police officers committed by an ex-Arkansas inmate whose sentence he had commuted. His 35/29 favorability breakdown is actually slightly better than it was in November before that incident."

    ^ We'll see in 2 years and 10 months, Boon.

    Can Huckabee translate to the Independents and the many demographical groups needed?

    I am not sure.

    But it all depends on what happens within the next 3 years, which is an eternity in US national politics.

    I think unemployment will be more important to voters.

    As for taxes, the US has cornered itself. Tax cuts, or tax raises, the US is in a fiscal situation that it cannot remedy.

    Agree.

    It's a cycle. These economic cycles have gone on for several hundreds of years. It may take a while, but it's best to let things work their way out.

    Just what we need. Another bubba from Arkansas. Probably not.
