This news that Huckabee is atop McCain’s VP list is according to US News and World Report Online:

The only way I, as a social conservative and Bold Evangelical who is a grassroots activist in the GOP and have been since Reagan, could possibly justify voting for a ticket with McCain on it, would be if Huckabee were the VP. I would much rather have a Huckabee/McCain ticket. But a McCain/Huckabee ticket is a great long-term strategic ticket for the future of our family, faith and freedom. Just think: four years of McCain in return for eight of Huckabee as President of the United States of America! Huck would get the chance to get the foreign relations experience that his detractors say he lacks and then be ready in 2011 to run and get the nomination to be atop of the Huckabee/? ticket in 2012! That’s a strategy I can run with and work for victory.
In the May 6th, 2008 primary in NC, I voted for Huckabee, instead of McCain, because he’s the real conservative in the GOP. He’s not part of the elite, self-ordained nobility of the US Senators’ Club. He’s the real deal, he’s one of us. A true down to earth pro-family, pro-USA, pro-freedom, pro-helping those who have been cast aside by the greedy crowd on Wallstreet and their Country Club RINO crowld cheering them on, in their rush to fleece Americans for every penny they can through fraud and usury, in the perverted name of a capitalism that our Christian hero, Calvin, blessed Western Civilization and Christianity to embrace.
If Huckabee is the VP nominee, then I would swallow hard and work tiresly to win for brother Mike Huckabee. Because the best possible outcome is that the old guy would only serve a single term and then Mike Huckabee would get the respect he deserves and America would be blessed with a God fearing, ex-Governor who has a record of strong support for our social values, life, marriage, family, faith and freedom.

This is an amazing thing that a social conservative and brother in Christ might receive the Republican vice-
presidential nod. I share your exuberance but only up to a point.
First, there is no guarantee that John McCain will choose Mike Huckabee as his running mate.
Second, if Huckabee becomes the running mate, there is no guarantee that John McCain will serve only one term.
Third, Huckabee’s acceptance of McCain’s offer would more likely lower my opinion of Huckabee than elevate my opinion of McCain.
The lesser of two evils is still evil. Applying the term evil to the current top Presidential candidates is not just a figure of speech; it reflects their current political positions and especially their past track record.
As you know, we are engaged in a culture war. Like Obama and Clinton, McCain has been on the wrong side of that war for some time. Where does John McCain stand and what is his record?
- He opposes a Constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage.
- He opposed tax cuts that ended the marriage penalty.
- He supports spending our tax dollars to kill human embryos for research purposes.
- He supported Roe v. Wade before he was against it.
- As author of McCain-Feingold he is an enemy of freedom of speech.
- He organized the Gang of 14 to preserve filibusters in judicial hearings.
- He has a legendary temper and often uses foul and obscene language, including taking God’s name in vain.
- He refused to support the right of U.S. military chaplains to pray in Jesus’ name.
- He considered leaving the GOP caucus in 2001 and approached John Kerry about being Kerry’s running mate in 2004.
- He said publicly that Hillary Clinton would make a good President.
- He wrote the bill helping Ted Kennedy in his attempt to grant amnesty to illegal aliens (McCain-Kennedy).
This man is clearly unfit to be President. I have no intention to vote for him regardless of who his running mate is.
On top of this, McCain recently refused James Dobson’s request to talk with him.
I would be delighted to see Mike Huckabee on the GOP ticket but not as John McCain’s running mate. I would be even more delighted to see Alan Keyes as our next President. His chances are slim, but he is still running. See http://www.alankeyes.com.
