The Huck's ship has sailed, and he's fallen overboard, sinking fast.
I'd throw him an anchor, myself; but I think he's doing just fine, all by himself.

Great post and oh so true.
I am glad to see his record finally being scrutinized. This gut is a liberal when it comes to spending, taxation and illegal immigration.
He has peaked and it is all downhill from here! Thank God!
What in the heck happened to Huckabee?
He get's a boost in the polls and start's criticizing President Bush?
I didnt think it was a good idea for any of the candidates to seperate themselves from President Bush to far because his record speaks for itself.
Screw up's in the Iraq front in the War on Terror but other than that he has'nt done a bad job with this Country at all.
I guess this proves it, dont stray to far away from the man who has kept us safe for the last 6 years!
sigh..heard this too............I have NO idea who to get behind!
Huckabee never made it past the illegal immigration issue for me. He's just a flash in the pan and is catering to Christian Fundamentalists that are afraid of Romney's Mormon faith and are opposed to Rudy for his immoral behavior and stands on abortion.
I'm a devout Christian, a Lutheran as a matter of fact. I do have problems with Rudy when it comes to his personal behavior. I did not accept Bill Clinton's immoral behavior and I finally reached the decision that I cannot support someone that did/does the same kind of philandering as Bill Clinton no matter how good his leadership skills are supposed to be.
I can get past the Mormon faith thing and it was no easy task to consider that. This country has be led by men professing the Christian faith since the formation of this country. I see Mitt Romney as an honorable intelligent and devout family man. Romney has changed some of his positions as most politicians will do. I do see someone that has more character than all the rest of the bunch running in both parties.
Anyone can be persuaded to change their positions on political issues but you can't change your character. If you have a bad character like the Clintons it makes little difference what you say you political positions are because you will change them for your own political gain in a moments notice.
I think Mitt Romney possesses the character that best represents my own beliefs even though my faith happens to be the Lutheran denominantion.
Fred Thompson may have those characteristics but he has failed at every opportunity to make those beliefs known. Thompson's campaign has been miserable at best.
At this point though my opinion means little. I live in Pennsylvania where our voices in the Presidential primary means nothing. By the time the primary comes to my state in April the candidate has already been chosen. You that will participate in choosing the Republican candidate can take or leave my opinion but this is what it is.
The peak has in fact occurred driven, as far as I can discern, by the MEDIA.

Huck's getting a lot of flak for his Foreign Affairs piece. I'm going to put up a post on it soon.
Thanks for the links!

The Huckster is a huge waste of time. He's an idiot. His foreign policy opinions are flat out dangerous. We could get his pap from Obama.
The MSM is salivating over Huckster. He represents their opinion of conservatives of faith - knuckledraggers, droolers. We need a President, a Commander in Chief, not a Pastor in chief.
I think we're seeing the Huckabubble about to burst.
He peaked too soon.
He'll still be a big factor in SC, but if he doesn't get a blowout win in Iowa the wheels of his bus may fall off before he gets here.
Each day the Huckster digs his hole deeper and deeper with me. I just hope everyone else sees through him.
He really ticked me off when he criticized Bush and today he had one of his surrogates use liberal talking points to attack Rush. I was livid. The Huckster is a liberal in conservative clothing.
