Arrgh. Can I just say I ardently dislike Gov. Mike Huckabee? Well, I do. I like some of his conservative credentials (he is pro-life and pro-family) but he is setting the Republican party up for disaster in November. He strikes me as a man who wants to be seen as a minister while wheeling and dealing in the ugly world of national politics. It's really hard to be seen as a minister and a politician. It's easy to set yourself up for charges of hypocrisy. I can see the media salivating at the prospect of a Huckabee ticket. While I don't think the criticism the media would give him would be fair, I fear he would bring a lot of foolishness on himself like he has this week. Plus, he gave out 2000 pardons to criminals when he was Gov. Yikes. I even told Mark that I may vote Democrat if Huckabee wins. After the Earth stopped shaking, I quickly repented for that thought. ;) I am sure tomorrow will look better for the fate of the Republican party but tonight in the Iowa caucuses, I have a bad sense of foreboding.
In the spirit of full disclosure I am leaning towards Mitt Romney but also like Thompson, Guiliani, and I could possibly support McCain. Just not Huckabee.

Kayla - you and I need to talk. I am so interested in all this stuff, but don't understand lots of it. No for or against you on Huckabee - still trying to decide who I like - haven't made time to read all the facts and positions they all 'claim' to stand for. I seriously would like you to help me understand more about the whole process sometime - maybe Feb 1st - my house for a 31 in 31 party (see my blog for info.)???
