Huckabee Wants to Be McCain's No. 2
WASHINGTON (May 18) - Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Sunday he'd like to be John McCain's running mate.

"There's no one I would rather be on a ticket with than John McCain," said Huckabee, who was a stronger than expected challenger against McCain for the Republican presidential nomination. "All during the campaign when I was his rival, not a running mate, there was no one who was more complimentary of him publicly and privately. ... I still wanted to win, but if I couldn't, John McCain was always the guy I would have supported and have now supported.

The NEA (National Education Association) has made a comparision chart of the 3 canidates (Obama, Clinton and McCain).

The chart compares the canidates stances on educational issues, minimum wage and health care.

Here is a link to the chart...

If any of these issues are important to you, this chart is an easy break down of the canidates positions.

I'm a staunch Republican, but if it's a McCain/Huckabee ticket, I would be hard pressed to vote Republican. I don't much like McCain, and I can't really stand Huckabee.

I may end up voting for a 3rd party candidate at this point.

While it may be useful, that chart, if made by the DNC, would be exactly the same. The NEA is a rabidly liberal special interest organization.

WASHINGTON - Sen. Robert C. Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan and a one-time opponent of civil rights legislation, endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination on Monday.

Obama is vying to be the nation's first black president. (No DUH!!!...reaaaaalllly?)

Byrd's support comes almost a week after the Illinois senator's 41-point loss to Hillary Rodham Clinton in the longtime lawmaker's home state of West Virginia.

Byrd said he had no intention of getting involved while his state was in the midst of a primary. "But the stakes this November could not be higher," he said in a written statement.

Byrd said Obama has the qualities to end the Iraq war, which he has strongly opposed.

"I believe that Barack Obama is a shining young statesman, who possesses the personal temperament and courage necessary to extricate our country from this costly misadventure in Iraq, and to lead our nation at this challenging time in history," Byrd said.

Further proof that politics makes stange bedfellows

This country has gone 232 years without losing a war. I don't think we should let Hillary or Obama ruin that, which if we pull out early is what is going to happen.

[DaemonSeid]

Did you count Vietnam in those 232?

Glad someone else said it...heh

We could include the Civil War in which we kicked our own @sses

But for one, that would be sadomasochistic.

Let's see. I don't believe the South was at the time, a part of the United States, so you can't really say we lost that one now can we?

Huckabee pissed me off when he kept slamming Romney even AFTER Mitt dropped out.

Mitt will do 10x more for conservatives in this country than Huckabee. It isn't even close.

I really think he'll choose the young Gov. from Minnesota, Pawlenty. #1, he needs a governor, #2, he needs the youth appeal, and #3, Pawlenty's never waivered in his staunch support for McCain, great sign of loyalty needed in a VP.
