Republican's 2012 Presidential candidate

[Icarus27k]

You know who I think it's going to be? Mike Huckabee.

I believe Huckabee won the 2008 Iowa caucus, right? And it came as a surprise to people. Looking at the map of the primary states (IA, NH, NV, SC), I would say there would be a feud between the Huckster in Iowa and the Southern states and Romney in the Northeastern and Western states.

As far as the small detail of him having to first announce that he is running for president, I think he'll look at the map like I did, see his promising chance, and it'll be too much for him to resist.

So, I'll say 2012 will be Obama vs. Huckabee.

Be sure to keep this thread in your minds and rub it in if I'm wrong. K?

Huckabee has a long association with the ultra right wing television evangelists, declared the US is a Christian nation, equated abortion with slavery, has granted clemency to several convicted murderers, and is a member of the Fox network. If this is all the GOP has it is in big trouble for 2012.

Huckabee is a very likable guy but the religous thing always worries me.
