As far as I can tell, Huckabee is really not a great choice. But he is better than Romney, Giuliani, or McCain so he might have to do. The problems with Huckabee: 1. he is still going to be on the bandwagon of expanding the government, even though he likes the "fair" tax, it still is not enough. Spending MUST be cut way back. We are going to be bankrupt if we don't. 2. He is VERY soft on immigration. As governor, he was trying to get funding to pay for the children of illegal immigrants to go to college; sorry (I don't hate immigrants, most of us are great great great grandchildren of immigrants) but I don't want the crazy spending in Washington to continue. 3. I am a Christian, but I don't like how Huckabee is handling his religion. I am voting for a president, not a pastor. Don't get me wrong, I want his faith to influence his life, but I DO NOT want him debating religion; that's not the job he's running for.
Just my 2 cents of a rant...not directed at anyone, just some observations.
