Why wasn't Huckabee a "Fighter" like Hillary......
He could have stayed in the race and fought until the convention.

I know McSame had the delegates needed to win but that does not mean Huckabee could not have had a convention floor fight and stole the nomination from him.

Also, he could have trashed McSame for the next three months and then fought for the nomination at the convention.

Why wasn't Huckabee a fighter like Hillary?

Why was Edwards such a coward and dropped out?

COWARDS!!!! We are so lucky to have Hillary fight like she is fighting!!!!

4. Clintons know how to attack other Dems. Wouldn't say BOO to Bush and Rove the last 8yrs though.
Anyone wonder why she decided Bush didn't need opposing the last 8yrs while she saved up all that dry powder to attack her Dem opponents?

6. I believe you have answered your own question
"I know McSame had the delegates needed to win"

The rules in the Republican Party differ from those in the Democratic Party therefore John McCain did and won enough delegates to clinch the nomination.

9. When that story was published
Edited on Mon May-05-08 07:29 PM by Jake3463
About McCain having an affair with a lobbyist...I wonder why Huckabee didn't jump all over it. It was before the nomination was anywhere near decided. I mean seriously. What a pansy. :sarcasm:

16. I don't remember him
attacking McCain as an elitist or out of touch. Or jumping all over him when the media reported he had an affair....actually I remember him denouncing that.

22. True
But all the GOP candidates hated Mitt. Did you watch the debates. Mitt would say something and they would all take turns kicking him. Than after the debate they would all stand chatting with each other and Mitt would stand on the stage by himself like a tool.

I actually felt sorry for him for a minute than realized...nah he's an asshole.

17. Huckabee had more class.
By far.

Edwards had more class.
By far.

We're stuck with Hillary because shes the dog still gnawing at the carcass. If she keeps telling us we want her, maybe we'll eventually believe it.

Kinda like that guy that keeps rubbing up against you and saying ' you want me '. The jackass never takes a hint, never shuts up and never goes away. Delusional sucker.

18. Don't they have a different primary system?
More "winner take all" primaries and caucuses, giving McCain enough delegates early on to secure the nomination?

19. Welcome back. The answer to your rhetorical question is that Huckabee actually cares about his Party
The Clinton's do not - they only care about the Clinton's. The only thing HRC is running for now is to help McCain beat Obama in November so she has a clear shot at 2012. It really is that simple.
