RDog 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Republican winner Mike Huckabee........a former Arkansas governor and ordained Baptist minister. My Republican friend tells me he has no chance of getting the nomination but I am skeptical. How does online poker run so bad? Link to post Share on other sites

RDog 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 If a republican wins this election I'll probably move to Canada. No SW.I already told my friend since we always discuss politics that if Huckabee wins I will put serious consideration into moving for 4 years. The only viable Republican candidate IMO should be McCain who I could live with but man, this really has me worried. The religious right has so much power and they don't want McCain.

I honestly don't feel like any of the Dem candidates have a great shot. Sucks to say but I think its true. Link to post Share on other sites

Lrgetrout 1 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Any Republican has no chance this year. I hope above all hopes the Republicans nominate Huckabee - it will just make it that much easier for the Democrats.If Huckabee wins the Republican nomination, he's not even winning his home state, or even his home town. He'll be lucky to get 50 electoral votes in the general election, honestly. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 LOL that your hopes are on Hillary Clinton.Hillary, the wife of a mediocre presidentThat's what your hopes are on?Here's a little hope for you. The President isn't that big of a deal, the congress is.Besides Bush already stacked the courts, so the Bush legacy will extend through most of your lives....Hillary...too much...

If he wins the nomination I'd say he's 50/50 to TID vs any Dem.Also, there is one REPUBLICAN that will save online poker...his name is Ron Paul. Link to post Share on other sites

Have you and DN had your $600 phone call yet?Quick derail response.It was $1250and noBut to be honest I have been so busy that I'm glad he hasn't called. When I get free time I plan on deluging him to remind him, until then it's not really a big deal to me.I mean, come on, what's Daniel Negreanu got to teach ME about poker?

Sucks to say but I think its true.It only appears that way because they're taking votes from each other right now. Just wait till there is only one of them, and they're looking across at Huckabee. It won't be too close I don't think. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, yes we are.Except for that prayer in school thing, oh and gay marriage seems to be getting slipped in the backdoor ( ? ), and we can't seem to get anywhere with getting abortions illegal, yea and the whole letting TV's broadcast nudityand foul language over public airways.But other than that, we are incomplete control of everything Link to post Share on other sites

He sucked up to the dems, is against real immigration reform, passed McCain/Feingold, a disaster of a piece of legislation, etc.Only his war record gives him any credibility at all.Huckabee is a guy that took advatage of a very weak field. But Iowa is 95% irrelevant. That's why Rudy ignored it. Only the media makes it a big deal because they sell.........advertising space. Super Tuesday is immportant.I will be voting for Obama Link to post Share on other sites
