The Republicans DESERVE to lose bigtime. The Iraq war was a bad idea, poorly executed and hugely detrimental to our country in every way.
Politics is the art of the possible. For a man, an abortion is only a hypothetical issue, like a penis ring for a woman, since men can't have abortions. If you want to be governor of Massachussetts, you will never get there unless you have some liberal ideas. So Romney has changed his mind on a couple of things once, so what?
Huckabee has lost over 100 pounds and is a cheerful fellow. He is certainly less pretentious than the others, and has many many fewer skeletons in his closet than Giulani, and I suspect, Thompson. On the other hand, he claims that he "doesn't believe in evolution". How lame is that? Do we really need another president who head is still in the XIX Century?
We need someone more financial conservative than Juniorbush, which is like saying we need someone who smells better than a two week old rotting corpse.
Being as all attempts to legislate morality, from Girolamo Savanarola to the XVIII Amendment and beyond have ended in disaster, I am all for people settling for learning how to tolerate one another's morality rather than trying to enforce their own.
