Huckabee

Mike Huckabee has a resume fit for a GOP presidential nominee - Southern Baptist preacher, former Arkansas governor, fierce opponent of abortion and gay marriage. Those attributes would seem to be exactly what fellow conservatives are looking for in a candidate. What he doesn't have is money or a household name, and those deficiencies have proven costly to his campaign. He barely registers in polls and is struggling to break out of the pack of Republicans seeking to be seen as credible alternatives to the strongest contenders, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney.

No national name recognition + no money = no chance.

Ditto for Hunter, Tancredo, Brownback.

Rudy is not a republican, and comes across dumb. McCain is not interesting or presidential. Seems like a Bob Dole. The more I see of Romney the more I think he's the only one who can beat a democrat. Sharp, bright, and Presidental.

They all have problems.

Some people are not going to vote for Romney because he is Mormon.

But I agree with Romney on many issues and would certainly vote for him.
