November 19, 200718 yr Mike Huckabee will win Iowa, he's running a strong and close second with about a 1/10, possibly even less of Romney's money. Now that his mo is picking up so will the funds and eventually a suprising Iowa win.
November 19, 200718 yr I wish Chuck Norris was younger when this craze happened. We could have been looking at 30-40 years of these funnies.
November 19, 200718 yr It's funny, but it's also weird to see Chuck Norris getting involved in politics.
November 19, 200718 yr It's funny, but it's also weird to see Chuck Norris getting involved in politics. Why? Because he is an actor who isn't a liberal?
November 19, 200718 yr I thought that was an excellent ad that really can't be seen in a negative light. It reaches the youth audience while showing the more conservative folk a 'softer side' of politics. Man, that was great. A President with a good sense of humor? That's why I loved seeing Barack Obama on SNL a little while back. And that's why I loved Bill Clinton just in general. funny guy.
November 20, 200718 yr I've thought Huckabee could be a sleeper for a while now, the more people see & hear him the better he'll do.
November 20, 200718 yr It's funny, but it's also weird to see Chuck Norris getting involved in politics. Why? Because he is an actor who isn't a liberal? Uh, no. Because he has never expressed opinions much on politics until now.

Because he has never expressed opinions much on politics until now. Uh, yes he has. His column on WorldNetDaily: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article....RTICLE_ID=58759 He anchored on Hannity and Colmes. His contribution report: http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_politica...huck_Norris.php Norris campaigned for George W. Bush in Texas as early as 1988. Norris support for the GOP didn't just spring up out of nowhere, he has been a known conservative for quite some time.
November 20, 200718 yr Yeah I saw the ad and I thought it was great. I've always wondered why Huckabee hasn't gotten more traction in this campaign. You would think he would be the darling of Christian Conservatives since he is a pastor himself. He seems like a good guy too. While I obviously would want a Dem to win the presidency I would not mind him at all.

While I obviously would want a Dem to win the presidency I would not mind him at all. He didn't have the money. He's done his campaign to this point on sheer hard ground work because it's about all he could afford. It's paid off as he's now second in Iowa and only a few percentage points off. With this type of momentum he'll be pulling in real money and I feel eventually Iowa and from there the amount of free publicity and momentum could very well lead to the nomination. I really like Huckabee as a person but their's some views I just can't reconcile enough for my vote. However, I think he has the stuff to be a great conservative hero.

While I obviously would want a Dem to win the presidency I would not mind him at all. Plus, he's left on taxes and health issues, like a nationwide smoking ban. If you like these things alongside a closed border, Huckabee is your man. In my opinion, his rightist progressivism is the absolute worst mix of positions. He's pro running your private life (whether it be smoking, abortion, or homosexuality) and pro spending all your money on social programs. Even though I agree with him concerning the social issues, it's a sad day when conservatives in this country endorse government coercion in private affairs.
November 20, 200718 yr Why? Because he is an actor who isn't a liberal? Reagan, the Terminator, etc....
November 20, 200718 yr Why? Because he is an actor who isn't a liberal? Reagan, the Terminator, etc.... Not what I was getting at. But if you're making lists how can it not start and end with Jimmy Stewart? :mischief
November 20, 200718 yr Looks like those ads are paying off. http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/11/20/huc...iowa/index.html Just saw on CNN that he was at 18% in a Iowa poll. The article also mentions him in a dead heat with Romney in another poll. Might just sneak up on everyone. He has about 40 days to play catch up.
