You've broken my heart, Newt!

I suppose he'll be doing what he does best and it will be good for the GOP; however, I must admit that I'm heartbroken. I really, really, really wanted to vote for President Newt Gingrich in the general election in '08. Dang it.
... "Gingrich also announced that he would not be running for the Republican nomination in the upcoming 2008 presidential election. Because of the McCain-Feingold law, passed by Congress in 2002, Gingrich could not lead American Solutions and simultanously run as a presidential nominee." ...
I hear that Newt likes Mike Huckabee. I'm glad to have my pick in this horse race validated by Newt; I like Mike too. I suppose I'll be disappointed after the primary but I'm going to have to stick with the next best choice to Newt. Huckabee reflects my values and my issues and I'll be voting for him in the primary.

Pass the tissues, Newt and go get 'em, Mike!

I'm a dem who wondered during the Repub debate "Which one would I vote for if I had to?" I've got admit, that I like Huckabee, too.

Looks like we're both not getting the candidates we want. Watching Newt vs Gore would have been a peachy race!

You know, I'm leaning towards Huck as well. Being in Ky I'll have absolutely no say on the issue, but oh well.

We needed Newt as bad as Jeannie needs a shooter.

I still predict that Huck is going to do surprisingly well in Iowa-I think 3rd or 4th. Not at all shocked to see a cluster between 18%-25% with Huck right in that mix.

Anon, as a Dem, what makes you like Huckabee among the Conservative candidates? I'm really curious about that. I think it's impressive that you watched the Republican debates. THAT is open-mindedness and probably the very thing that's missing these days from the arena of political debate. Thanks for that comment and I hope you'll share more.

I hear ya, Lee. It sure sucks being in one of the states that holds a primary after the other primaries have "picked the winner" for us! Unless he comes off the ballot, I do believe I'll be casting my vote for Huckabee in May. Even if it seems like a throw-away vote, I would have to do it out of principle.

Sporer, what does that mean: "...as bad as Jeannie needs a shooter?" I'm SO clueless that it's embarrassing! ;-) I can't help but ask.

I sure hope your prediction is right. I'd like to see Huckabee show at least 3rd place in Iowa. Huck needs to do well since he's my FairTax candidate. Someone's got to be rewarded for thinking correctly on the tax reform issue!

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa...

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...
