Huckabee isn't either at the moment. Still doesn't change my mind.

The thing that bothers me about Huck is that he seems, to me, too "churchy." Would end up having to put too much into the social issues, and get bogged down, or risk angering select groups over social issues... and get bogged down.

It seems like a no win situation. House and Senate make up should be the most pressing thing this election, not the man in the Oval Office. Assuming, of course, that all the Supreme Court justices can keep on kicking for another four years.

Im sure he'd lose votes over that, most do to an extent.

Your not gonna find a perfect option IMO, you find the issues that are most important to you and thats how you vote. That differs from person to person.

I don't understand the Jindal love. I don't even think his own state likes him. I wouldn't vote for any of the candidates right now (unless you consider Gary Johnson).

Then his approval rating must have tanked over the last couple of years.

It fluctuates. Highest in '08, average to low in '09, 20% higher in '10. Not sure about now.

It is friggen Louisiana. Three games in they wanted Les Miles gone. 7 games in, they were eating grass with him.

Never trust Louisiana. That's my motto.

What was it in '09 and '10? Just wondering.

Oh...I was basing it off TD.com. I'm not sure what it was, whether it was his handling of the oil spill or lack of action performing his job as governor (too much campaigning), but they don't even think of him as a viable candidate and they are as right as it comes. Maybe I'm wrong, that was just the general feeling I got.

He is running, for all intents and purposes, unopposed. Not sure how much campaigning he is having to do.

His ratings really do seem to change month by month. We'll see, but I don't see him having any difficulty in getting re-elected.

I think it's Romney or Huckabee.
How many times has Trump been married? Not really Presidential material.

Trump also wouldn't be able to use his #1 move from his business background - running up huge debts and then declaring bankruptcy.

Jindal lost me when he gave that disaster of a response to Obama's first SOTU (I think). Granted, it's tough to just speak into a camera, but it was such a hokey and boring response. Politicians try too damn hard to convince people that they're "one of us". Of the GOP potentials, only Huckabee has been able to convincingly pull off the "man of the people" spiel.

Huckabee seems like a genuinely nice guy, and probably the friendliest on a personal level of all the likely GOP candidates... But for me, he's also the least likely to receive my vote outside of Palin.

does his being a minister put you off that much or is there policy stance you don't like? I'm not sure i'll vote for him, but his Fair Tax stance is enough for me to consider him.

If Palin wins the nomination I'll change my registration to Independent and not vote.

If Huckabee wins the nomination I may or may not vote.

If Romney wins the nomination I'll vote for him over Obama

If Trump wins the nomination I may vote for him just for the entertainment value.

My preference is Mitch Daniels but he ain't running.

I am all for a simplified tax code, but Fair Tax is my absolute least favorite of them.

But going back to the whole "moral police" debate, his reverence for David Barton is something I find troubling. Most of my social views are antithetical to his: pro-choice, pro-civil unions and equal rights across the board for GLBT, anti-Creationism in school. I don't know of a viable GOP candidate who can even kinda meet me over the middle on these issues, they all seem to be hard one way.

If you pointed a gun to my head and made me vote GOP, it would probably be Romney at this point, but I find the comments and contemporary popular opinion of him as "the precursor to Obamacare" as a bit dubious (not entirely inaccurate though). Besides that, I've read what his position on taxation is, and I still can't figure out what he'll do.
