Mike Huckabee would be my DH choice. Most say he has no chance. I believe him to be more honest and conservative than many will lead you to believe. He would have been nominated in 04 over McCain if he had been better financed and better party supported.

On the D side, I think Webb is a stronger possibility than many think. He is a bit too "blue dog" for the liberal establishment, but the will of the voters may sway a bit more conservative in 16.

I've always liked Huck personally, but he just can't seem to stop saying stupid stuff. I mean seriously -- women can't control their libidos without Uncle Sugar? :rolleyes:

Webb could win me over. Great moderate pol, but he could use an infusion of charisma.

I just got done reading a gallup poll that says Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush are high rated and well known with republicans


Huckabee, Bush Well-Known, Well-Rated Among Republicans (http://www.gallupmail.com/POLL/182000/28250022/en-US/cmsitem.aspx?utm_source=alert&utm_medium=email&utm_content=heading&utm_campaign=syndication)

Potential GOP presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush have the most positive combination of familiarity and favorable ratings among a list of possible Republican candidates. Chris Christie has the most negative image.

yes he is and most of NJ is happy about it. He even has personal friends that are republican politicians turning on him.
This was a very close friend of his pigness. The best part of Christie not winning Potus is that he will be crushed and he will be out of politics.
N.J. senator who was close to Christie criticizes him in Senate speechState Sen. Joseph Kyrillos did not vote to buck the governor today when Democrats unsuccessfully tried to override his veto of the Port Authority legislation (http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/03/vote_to_override_christie_veto_of_port_authority_r .html#incart_2box_politics_index.ssf). But Kyrillos (R-Monmouth), who had been a personal friend of Christie's and one of his chief allies in the Legislature, today demonstrated just how much their relationship has deteriorated in a speech that was full of praise for the bill's Democratic sponsor and some of the harshest criticism of the governor ever publicly uttered by a Republican lawmaker.
Kyrillos began by talking about dysfunction at the bi-state agency, which he called "not well-led."
"Rogue managers in place.... toll increases: Outrageous. Bridgegate: Outrageous. Outrageous," Kyrillos said. "Public employees of the state of New Jersey, Port Authority employees manipulating a public asset."


The senator didn't stop there.
"Biggest bridge in the world. An embarrassment to everybody, including the governor, who said as much at the outset," he said.
Kyrillos, 54, was introduced to his wife by Christie. He swore Christie into his first ever elected position as a Morris County freeholder in 1995. He was present at Christie's swearing-in as U.S. Attorney. And Kyrillos chaired Christie's first gubernatorial campaign in 2009.
But sometime after Kyrillos's 2012 U.S. Senate campaign — which Christie raised money for but took a noticeably low profile role in (http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2012/10/gov_christie_insists_hes_worki.html) — strains have become apparent between the two.
The biggest flare up was in January, when Kyrillos attended a dinner with former Republican Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — a Christie 2016 rival — and told NJ Advance Media he had not decided who he would back for president (http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/01/christie_friend_met_with_potential_2016_rival_jeb. html).

Yep, his latest scandal accepting 3% of original lawsuit against Exxon and then sticking it into the general fund to make his deficits look better was the final straw.

The left has one person that in my heart I honestly believe could do the job of President.

He has governed; he has been inside the top of the Fed Government. He should have been elected over Hillary or Obama

Bill Richardson Check him out

He ran New Mexico.

Huckabee wants to turn the US into a Christian's only Caliphate.

The guy is a kook.

Ron Paul hates government but he cashes that government pension check every month.
