A Democrat even Republicans can like
The Australian – Jan 7, 2008
Mike Huckabee meanwhile is being discounted as not significant in the same sense. But it is I’d say very foolish to underestimate him as well. In the wreckage of the post-Bush Republican Party Huckabee is the most talented natural politician. And he has taken Bushism to its logical conclusion. He argues proudly and simply for a politics based overwhelmingly on religion. He refuses to apologise for previous statements that he wants to reclaim America for Christ or that people with AIDS should be quarantined. In Iowa he won the born-again vote and the vote of Bush fans.
Huckabee Invokes Fear in Some Conservatives
NPR – Jan 7, 2008
Mike Huckabee is a distant third in the New Hampshire polls after a solid win in the Iowa caucuses. Romney also sparred with Huckabee on taxes. Populist MessageHuckabee’s rise has sent shudders through the Republican Party establishment. His anti-Wall Street populism sometimes makes him sound like a Republican class warrior. n the campaign trail he often says people would rather elect someone who reminds them of the guy they work with — not the guy who laid them off. “When people sit around their dinner tables at night they feel the effect of $3-a-gallon gasoline. They feel the effect of double digit inflation on their health care costs.

CNN International – Jan 7, 2008
And trust me your bottom will hurt at the end of it. It`s my health-care nightmare in tonight`s “Real Story. ” Now let`s go to the Republican Party. The big picture is the party doesn`t know what it wants to be any more. You`d think that after the beating they took in 2006 they would have made sure that the guy in the val ffice and everybody else would have done more than just wear the lucky red tie… How are you? CRAIG SHIRLEY STRATEGIST: How are you Glenn. At any time in history has there been a party this split at this time that`s been able to pull it together and really held on or won? SHIRLEY: You could make a case for 1976 the Republican Party starting in 1974 under Richard Nixon. SHIRLEY: Let me finish.
Give me back my party
Citizen.com – The Citizen.com – Jan 7, 2008
House in the 1994 elections ? and ask ?Who stole my party??I have an answer for you. At one time the GP was the party that fought for open government term limits reductions in spending and less government intrusion. When I was involved in the Republican Party we wanted the IRS disbanded and the Department of Education either reduced made useful or abolished. We believed in the goodness of an individual and the greatness of individualism. If you want to know why no one ? including my firm ? can poll the Iowa caucus with any sense of certainty it?s because Iowa Republicans are demoralized and unenthusiastic. The two frontrunners are a guy Mitt Romney who looks slicker than a television preacher and another Mike Huckabee who really was a preacher but can?t seem to decide how he wants to run his race.
Jackson Hole Wyoming Teton County Republican Party will support Mitt…
Jackson Hole News – Jan 7, 2008
During the county convention Saturday the party elected its own chairman Joe Schloss as its delegate to the national convention. Schloss has committed to support Romney. “I am honored to be elected to represent the county at the national convention and I will represent the county to the best of my ability” he said after the election. In a strong showing of support for Romney the final two candidates for national delegate Schloss and former county party Chairman Bill Scarlett both backed the former Massachusetts governor’s bid for president.
The GP’s “Jesse Jackson Moment”
Atlantic nline – Jan 7, 2008
ne is to become the party of the religious right a sectarian agglomeration somewhat like the small ethnic parties in inter-war Europe perhaps capable of holding some governorships and seats in Congress but never again competitive in a presidential election. The other would be to cut itself free from the religious right and seek to appeal to the wide and growing tranche of independent voters who are socially liberal but economically conservative. In that case the Republican party would gradually resemble some of the ?liberal? (that is conservative) parties who periodically win national elections in Western Europe or Canada. These parties are friendly to market-based solutions to economic problems?that is they are broadly libertarian. Think this is impossible? Think again.
