Wide White: McCain or Huckabee?

McCain or Huckabee?

I just watched the debate and I'm very torn. McCain's sniping at Romney is juvenile, snarky at best, and hasn't impressed me. Huckabee keeps on going and is actually polling neck-and-neck nationally with Romney, just behind McCain. On top of that, one of the 8 or so states that Huckabee has a shot at winning next Tuesday is Minnesota.

I'm also not as confident in McCain to nominate strict constitutionalists to the Supreme Court bench. His endorsements from Rudy Giuliani and Arnold Schwarzenegger have only made me further doubt this. As concerned as I am about Huckabee's fiscal habits in Arkansas, I'm equally concerned about McCain's temperament as displayed tonight and a few questionable bills and positions of his, including McCain-Feingold and his stance on ANWAR, which I'm not ready to support.

I know there are still 6 days for me to decide before I must caucus, but tonight's debate tips the scales back to Huckabee, 51-49.

We have an open primary in MO, and I've got half a mind to vote for Hillary over B. Hussein Obama.

I say Romney is the only one that could possibly beat Hillary. They're all liberals! I don't like ANY of them and ESPECIALLY not McCain-he can't even lie good at all!

How are they all liberals? Sounds like someone's been listening to too much Rush!

Do they all have tendencies that favor liberalism in some sense? Yes, I'll concede that. But I fail to see how any of them can be called out-right liberals, especially when compared with any of our options on the other side.

They are all "liberal" conservatives you have to admit. Oh, I guess you did-and no, I am not a Rush fan. Levin? Maybe.

I keep wondering: if there isn't a clearer Republican choice at this point in the process... is Hillary going to take it? Hm...

We all thought Bush was a good conservative and look how badly spending went out of control. I actually trust McCain to reign in spending. Does the fact that he supports ANWAR and campaign finance reform make him a liberal conservative? No, I don't think so. Just because I don't agree with a candidate on a few issues doesn't make him a liberal and I don't contend that either Huckabee (despite the Club for Growth's contention) or McCain is a liberal. Moderate? Sure, I think that's fair. They have reached across the aisle to get things done. But have they done enough of that to be called a liberal? I don't think so.

(And Hillary is unelectable in my estimation. Regardless who the Republican nominee is, there's enough anti-Hillary sentiment to push the Republican nominee over the top.)
