Good-bye, Gov. Huckabee. Have fun back there in Oblivion

[2muchcoffeeman]

CNN has called Texas, and thus the GOP nomination, for John McCain.

Will anybody see Huck on the national stage again?

I hope not. All you need to know about that guy is to look at the states he won. The last time I checked, five of six were among the 10 least educated states in the country as measured by percentage of adults 25+ with bachelor's degree.

Yes. When McCain makes him the VP candidate. :)

 

[Diabeetus]

Lotta love for George Brett in his goodbye speech :D

Won't happen. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has been McCain's shadow of late.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with having Crist by your side ...

 

[Claws for Concern]

I guess the endorsements by Chuck Norris and Ric Flair weren't enough to get Huckabee elected after all.

 

[dooley_womack1]

Well, Huckabee didn't do much stylin' and profilin'

 

[writing irish]

God hates Huckabees.

 

[ArnoldBabar]

He needs to get away from it all, maybe saddle up a dinosaur and go out riding like his ancestors.

 

[Bubbler]

Huckabee accomplished what he set out to do ... to become the new face of the social conservative wing of the GOP. In that respect, he was a wild success.

 

[GB-Hack]

How old is he? Could he make another run at it in four years if McCain falls?

I'm not sure he ever really appealed to a significant percentage outside of evangelicals.

Well, he's got 4 to 8 years to work on that. And even though he's watching his weight, he'll never have to buy Sunday dinners again. Ever.

Well -- is he running for 2012 (or 2016) or for the VP spot now? I'm guessing the former.

Also, if he isn't VP, what does he do in the next 4 years to stay relevant?

I don't think it works that way anymore - 4years is not that long. Edwards' problem wasn't that people forgot about him, if anything the opposite.

 

[amraeder]

Huckabee must save Bruma!

People forget, but Edwards was the Obama of '04. If there wasn't a war going on, he'd have been the nominee and probably the President.
