3. I don't think the early primaries of 2000 had 2:1 Dem turnout.

I knew he was the annointed one and was terrified--Another Bush in the WH? and an idiot to boot--knowing that people like Poppy would be pulling the strings (Poppy made sure it was Cheney).

6. I didn't either. He was very well funded before Iowa, unlike Huck
I was also afraid that his supply side BS would sell with the voters.

7. They thought he was a plastic Jesus boy with rich man roots
Huckabee is a whole different story.

9. I never laughed. The guy gave me the creeps.
Fortunately, the guy who gave me the same type of creeps (George Felix Allen) had his "No future for stillson" moment in the 2006 Senate campaign.

I think our marching orders tonight are to push the fact that Mike Huckabee is a dishonest snake who can jawbone about integrity while doing the exact opposite from what he promises.

13. He lost in 2004 too. Did you read Robert Kennedy's article about it in Rolling Stone?
Yes, Bush actually lost in 2004 too.
