Huckster-62%.. MCain-24% in Kansas? Boy.. they really DON'T like him

[SoCalDem]

:rofl:

What if Huckleberry "runs the table" and ends up getting Romney's delegates? Cound he "take it away" from McCain?

[gateley]

1. Was he expected to win there? nt

[L. Coyote]

2. Going forward, McCain needs 40% to lock the nomination.

[SoCalDem]

4. Even if he locks it, could the delegates to him, change their minds later?

It seems as if they decide he cannot win, they might not be eager for another Bob Dole, and choose Huckster.. Is it possible, or are they unable to change their votes at or before the convention?

[Jackpine Radical]

7. Oh Jeez, Boob Dolt. I haven't thought of that guy in a while. He did inspire

one of the better political cartoons I ever saw, though. Back in '76. It was just a picture of a lemon and a pineapple, captioned "Ford-Dole."

[ingac70]

3. That would be too funny...

The corporate whores in the GOP want McCain. It be nice to see the fundies over run this election!

[SoCalDem]

5. i think if Huckleberry started making comments about who he might like

as a running mate, they might get buyer's remorse..big time :)

[malaise]

6. Did you hear this maniac's speech at CPAC this morning

Only lunatics are running for the Rethugs. Fuckabee is a dangerous lunatic.

[spanone]

13. his sign read - 'faith values freedom' freedom last of course

[bdamomma]

22. so is McCain

do you guys think McCain will ask Huckabee to be his running mate? Just throwing this question out there.

[NNN0LHI]

25. McCain is a more dangerous maniac than Huckabee

Mainly due to the fact that McCain hides his lunacy a little better.

[lurky]

8. Based on recent events in Kansas,

I'm not surprised. (Fred Phelps, the whole evolution flap).

[B Calm]

9. People in Kansas are different.... or just dumb asses.. Huckleberry

has said he intends to re-write the constitution, egads and they support this idiot in Kansas..

[MuseRider]

11. Spoken like a true Blue Stater

oh wait......

Same thing would be said if it were the other way around.

[SoCalDem]

12. I was born in Kansas, but people were different back then..

No one "hated" anyone (that I could tell anyway)

[MuseRider]

16. It is still the same really.

Last time I looked the Pubs here were big for Romney, not that that is any better. My guess is they never liked McCain but needed somewhere else to put their vote.

I rarely see hate here. Only the really religious get like that and usually over 2 things, abortion and gays. Just like anywhere else. Really, look how quickly we dispatched the nut bags who were in the school board who voted against evolution. Nobody ever looks at that and if they think they are immune to take overs like that they are in the sad, blind place we were before it happened. It is a slow process that is hard to get out from under but we did, at least for now. :)

10. In Alaska, McCain only got 1,800 Republican votes

out of a total of about 12,000, and came in dead last, even behind Ron Paul. The Mittster got 44%. There are some really unhappy Republicans up here now. :rofl:

[SoCalDem]

14. Can Mitt "give" his delegates to Huckleberry? n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

18. I'm not sure how that works here.

Huckabee did come in second, so if that's the case, he would seem to benefit. Alaska Republicans have a long history of voting for losers in their presidential preference elections for some reason. They once picked Pat Robertson (!) and Pat Buchanan, too. :rofl:

[SoCalDem]

19. Alaska..aka "I'm Pa-aat" or

The Stand Pat State

[Blue_In_AK]

20. Yup....

Alaska's Republicans are really amusing, but they've had to pipe down some since four Republican state legislators - so far - have been charged with corruption (and two of them are even at this moment sitting in the federal pen), plus Ted Stevens and Don Young being investigated, and former Guv Murkowski having been the least popular governor in the country before his defeat in 2006. Even though our new governor Sarah Palin calls herself a Republican, she's definitely out of the "old boys" loop, more of a populist than anything. Political affiliations are really in flux up here. It's nice to watch the old guard feasting on humble pie. :)

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. Is it down to McCain and Huckabee?

:scared:

[SoCalDem]

17. Ron Paul is still "in" it...but... n/t

[MJJLWolf2]

21. Big surprise.

No social cons like McCain -- even though he's prolife, pro-family. It's really weird.

[NeedleCast]

23. Kansas is Perhaps the most conservative state in the country

No surprise that the candidate who claims to have the most Jesus would win there by a wide margin.

McCain will take the Republican nomination easily.

[L. Coyote]

27. Kansas, literally, probably has the most BS too.

[Marr]

24. I would much prefer to see Huckabee win the nomination.

For a few reasons.

First, he'd have much less of a chance to win the national election than McCain. Second, such a coup by the GOP's fundamentalist wing would mean the Republican establishment would spend the foreseeable future looking for a way to purge itself of the Christian Right. And last, he's not chanting about bombing Iran.

[Junkdrawer]

26. The Kansas schoolboard was the origin of "The Flying Spaghetti Monster"...

Open Letter To Kansas School Board

I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be taught along with the theory of Evolution. I think we can all agree that it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can choose for themselves the theory that makes the most sense to them. I am concerned, however, that students will only hear one theory of Intelligent Design.

Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him.

It is for this reason that I’m writing you today, to formally request that this alternative theory be taught in your schools, along with the other two theories. In fact, I will go so far as to say, if you do not agree to do this, we will be forced to proceed with legal action. I’m sure you see where we are coming from. If the Intelligent Design theory is not based on faith, but instead another scientific theory, as is claimed, then you must also allow our theory to be taught, as it is also based on science, not on faith.

Some find that hard to believe, so it may be helpful to tell you a little more about our beliefs. We have evidence that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe. None of us, of course, were around to see it, but we have written accounts of it. We have several lengthy volumes explaining all details of His power. Also, you may be surprised to hear that there are over 10 million of us, and growing. We tend to be very secretive, as many people claim our beliefs are not substantiated by observable evidence. What these people don’t understand is that He built the world to make us think the earth is older than it really is. For example, a scientist may perform a carbon-dating process on an artifact. He finds that approximately 75% of the Carbon-14 has decayed by electron emission to Nitrogen-14, and infers that this artifact is approximately 10,000 years old, as the half-life of Carbon-14 appears to be 5,730 years. But what our scientist does not realize is that every time he makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage. We have numerous texts that describe in detail how this can be possible and the reasons why He does this. He is of course invisible and can pass through normal matter with ease.

28. romney supporters

id imagine theyll mostly go for huckabee

[Warren DeMontague]

29. McCain believes in evolution, right?

Well, there ya go.

[Joe Fields]

30. Kansas is a MAJOR "pro life" state.

The state is probably more religiously conservative than Iowa. (with the exception of KCK)

[screembloodymurder]

31. Where would he be if Romney hadn't run?

I think he would have locked up the nomination.

[Skittles]

32. says more about Kansas than it does about McCain

yes INDEED :o
