ohohoh? WHAT DOES IT MEEEAN?!!!1one

 

[Joe Republic]

It's the countdown to the Rapture, of course.

[Verily]

A Huckabee independent run would be hilarious.

As would the Rapture.

[AltWorlder]

Maybe he's going to defect to the Democrats!

[Hash]

HE'S BECOMING AN ATHEIST!!!!!

[Alcon]

McCain endorsement?

[Meeker]

He's probably just starting a PAC.

Is it too late for the Arkansas GOP to pull some move to get him on the ballot as a Senate candidate?

[specific_name]

I was going to joke. But I really can't think of anything logical. There's no way he's going third party in the general though.

[Reaganfan]

I love how so many on this forum make Huckabee look like a nutty, unelectable candidate. This man could have been President of the United States...he was a likeable, funny, honest candidate...he could have won.

He is nutty. He probably was unelectable. He's a religious wackjob.

He appealed strongly to the Rust Belt area workers...to the southern conservatives....and he could play middle ground well. He could have won.

3RD PARTY RUN! WOOOOOOO!

Not sure about that. I liked Huckabee, but he probably freaked out any independent with his religious speak all the time.

No. Hell no. If John McCain is in a dead-heat with Obama right now what on Earth makes you think he could have won? That's actually insulting to McCain to say something like that.

No way.  Being likable isn't enough to get elected.  You also have to be able to hide the crazy until after you win.  Huckabee let the crazy out of the bag long ago.

With this quote you are right but he is viewed as a religous wackjob by a good chunk of the country, but I still like the guy.

Clearly the big announcement will be that Ithaca is the city of evil.

Most of Huckabee's wackjobness were rooted in past mistakes- the stuff about AIDS patients, what he wrote in his books, the whole messes his family gets into- but how much of wackjobness did he manifest during the campaign?  I know he freaked a lot of people out with the "amending the Constitution to fit God's Word" quote, but as far as evolution goes 50% of the country's right up there with him already anyways.

I do agree that he couldn't have won- his party would not let his progressive economics slide, and the independents would not warm up to his religious outspokenness.  I do think if he had somehow miraculously became the candidate that he would have done better with minorities that past Republicans, though only if he wasn't facing against Obama.  He did well with African-Americans when he was running for governor.

So any reasonable ideas on what this announcement may be?

I'd guess a PAC or something.

he publicly proclaimed that we should amend the Constitution to fit with "God's law"

Any guy who does things like that is going to have a VERY hard time being elected president, especially in a Democratic year like this.

that comment, I think, took it a little bit too far, even for south carolina republican primary voters, probably one of the most conservative demographics in the whole country.

Either an endorsement of McCain, announcing he's accepting McCain's offer of VP, or announcing a third-party candidacy, in my opinion.

Hopefully won't be the third-party candidacy, because I actually want him to be President someday and all that would do is ensure he never gets picked by the Republicans in the future, while definitely handing the election to the Dems.

It could be anything, though. We even had an aspiring politician over here make an announcement that he had no announcement (he had said that he'd be making an announcement but then changed his mind).

Here's a bit about that incident:

Why is the clock set to noon on Pacific time?

[Joe Republic]

He's probably announcing his intent to become a professional comedian/musician.
