Presidential Stuff

If any Presidential candidate in the running right now is selected as a running mate, it would be Mike Huckabee, and the frontrunner in the GOP race is Fred Thompson (he is tied with Giuliani). Although there is still a long way to go for Thompson, and there is no guarrentee that he would pick Huckabee as running mate, I think we all know how well the combination of a Tennesee Senator and the Governor of Arkansas works in the Presidential races.

According to the Campaign Spot blog on National Review Online, Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee got the best reactions at the National Rifle Association's rally today. This is a definite pattern- Thompson and Huckabee have definitly articulated their positions best.

Newt Gingrich claims he will run for President if he gets $30 million by November. Yeah, that's going to happen.

Heh, Arkansas gov, TN senator - nice catch.

The 1992 primaries may be informative of this one in another way: Clinton didn't announce until October.

There's enough room in the Republican field for another candidate so one could call it a gap. Chasm. All the front runners seem to want to carry on the Bush legacy under a different name. Huckabee seems a Bush clone and Thomson is so out of touch with issues. Rudy is best described as a panderer.

I agree on Thompson/Huckabee combo. Both of these men have the GOP feeling funny in the shorts, in a happy way. At the same time, making Democrats uneasy.
Thompson has the charm and charisma while Huckabee is getting raves at the debates. Watch for the two to get some less than favorable reviews from the DPOs as the Clinton attack machine gets into gear
