Wow. Save the GOP doesn’t much like Bush or Huckabee do they? "As for Huckabee, he just reminds me of another George W Bush and he supports higher government spending and a welfare state. Sorry, but one President from Arkansas was enough. Do we really want to repeat that??"
How else do you explain Newt Gingrich’s radio appearance with Dobson yesterday. He, in essence, asked for absolution from America’s Protestant Pope.

Oh boy. This is getting ugly. Richard Land says Rudy Giuliani’s divorces were "on steroids."

Several things have come together for Mike Huckabee recently. National Journal is giving him a bump. He picks up some good staff in New Hampshire. He gets called one of the two options for Evangelicals (although McCain is getting some attention). For Huckabee, there are two or three issues. First, Read more…
At the MRP conventjon, which I blogged about here, there was an anti-Mitt Romney protest put on by members, apparently, of the Michigan State and University of Michigan Young Americans for Freedom: In this video, there are protesters with signs like "RINOs for Romney" or "If you don’t like Romney’s Read more…
