Well surprise, surprise!
He danced the complete Kabuki, right down to the mandatory move about considering John McCain for his VP slot. But at the end of the day, Mike Huckabee has admitted the obvious: he'll take the Veep nomination if John McCain offers it.
Huckabee was a guest on this morning's Today.
View video here.
MIKE HUCKABEE: Matt, we're still in this until somebody gets 1,191 delegates, the magic number to become the nominee. And until that happens, just ask the New York Giants what can happen near the end of the game.
MATT LAUER: Yeah, but you did not close the door on me there, Governor. Would you say this morning that you would consider at some point, if you don't think you can reach that magic number of delegates, would you consider the vice-presidential slot on a ticket with John McCain?
HUCKABEE: Well, let's go ahead and be honest now. Nobody ever wants the vice-president's job; nobody ever turns it down.

February 6, 2008 - 10:04 ET by kgIsn't it media bias when they blatanly twist the facts and pump certain candidates just to help the left win the election?
Isn't it media bias when the fawn and drool over a candidate while they hate another?
Isn't it media bias when they print false hopes for one candidate while they print nothing positive on another candidate?
Isn't it media bias when they utter the word "Conservative" many times in a report but never say the word "Liberal" once?
It is not Romney propaganda but merely stating facts on the bias being pushed around. In the process McCain is a blind puppet to their game. Huckabee is falling for it too.

February 6, 2008 - 10:19 ET by funkdomeYes those are examples of media bias. We all know there is media bias.

February 6, 2008 - 10:40 ET by kgI believe this post is a direct result of the media bias. Especially after
the West Virginia scam pulled yesterday. This post just proves that the game the
media played by pumping up McCain with fawning articles and Huckabee as well. McCain wasn't even a factor till they started printing story after story pumping him up prior to his first win. It worked so well that they have continued and will do so till he gets the nomination. After that all hell breaks loose.
These two pawns are now talking strategy so they can secure the nomination.
The media leads them with question specifically calling on them to bash Romney
without doing it themselves . And they try to lead Romney with questioning to
make him look bad too.

I'm afraid too many of my Christian brethren will be reluctant to vote for him because he's a Mormon, which is really sad.
As a Christian I don't agree with the Mormon doctrine, but Romney is a lot closer to the Christian base than Huckabee or McCain and Romney doesn't flaunt his Mormonism. To be perfectly honest, if nobody knew he went to BYU and if he didn't come right out and say that he is a Mormon, the country wouldn't know that he was a Mormon (especially if they are so lazy that they can't research why McCain and Huckabee would destroy this country just as badly as Clinton or Obama).

Personally, I think it's just stupid. As somebody who has had many dealings with Mormons over genealogical research, they're as Christian as the rest of us are (if you're Christian, that is :-). But maybe I can empathize with them because my religion (Roman Catholic) gets idiotic abuse from certain quarters, too.

February 6, 2008 - 12:33 ET by mustangsallyMormons are not Christian (although that is not to say they aren't nice people or shouldn't run for President).
Mormons may consider themselves Christians, but by the standards of the Nicean Creed (325) this is not a serious claim. They do not share a Trinitarian theology but rather are polytheistic (for this reason Catholics reject Mormon baptism). Among their beliefs:
1. There are many gods.
2. Jesus is the brother of Lucifer
3. God the Father had a wife ...
4. God is mutable, eternally evolving into a more exalted being.

February 6, 2008 - 09:49 ET by ArchConservativeIf it is going to be McCain (D-AZ) and Huckabee on the ticket, I'll just go to work, come home, play with my kid, and watch a movie that Tuesday. Both of these guys slap conservatives and think that we will smile and say "Please sir may I have another". Well I won't. If I do go to the polls in November I'll write in a candidate. I can only take abuse from the top so long before I say enough is enough. But I guess the party has spoken and to paraphrase Ronald Reagan: I didn't leave the Republican party, the Republican party left me.

February 6, 2008 - 09:56 ET by AJSHOPEObama and Clinton will NOT pull out. Why do you think it's become a non-issue in the primaries? The primaries are when you are suppose suck up to the base and the fact that Obama and Clinton are not trying to humor the anti-war crowd is very telling if you ask me. They don't want Iraq to be lost on their watch. Why do you think they've tried so hard to get President Bush to pull out and now that it's looking more and more like a Democrat will win, Iraq is rarely mentioned by the news, let alone mentioned to any of the candidates.
Silly
February 6, 2008 - 10:01 ET by funkdomeObama and Clinton will pull out. They have made the campagn pledge repeatedly and there is no reason to believe they won't follow through.
We all know why Iraq isn't in the news anymore. Maybe if this site was doing its job instead of runnign Romney's campaign, you would know why.

McCain campaign platform
February 6, 2008 - 12:38 ET by candanceThis is the crux of McCain's entire campaign:
I'm in the lead so you can bite me if you don't like it, but you better vote for me or I'll sick Hillary after you.
And this is supposed to rally us together....how?
Oh, right, I forgot, I'm singlehandedly losing the war if I refuse. Kinda how the Dems took a vote to try and override the veto and bring the war to an early end - and since this was back when it looked like we were losing McCain could not be bothered to vote in favor of the war.
Kinda like that.
Yeah McCain won all right.
February 6, 2008 - 13:10 ET by IamTinmanHe won the opportunity to become the target as soon as either Huckabee or Romney decides to drop out.
McCain won not because he is the parties choice, but because he successfully split the conservative vote. That makes him very vulnerable.
Have no fear, McCain will soon shoot himself in the foot. It's his nature.
You mean like McCain Did?

♣ a seal
Great Point
February 6, 2008 - 12:03 ET by ChrisMillsI think the pro-Mitt sentiments often expressed here ignore that he instituted universal health care in Mass. Romney litterly signed into law a bill that mandates people to make a very personal financial and (in some religions) moral commitment. It's wrong, it's anti-freedom, and it's counter to natural rights. I respect that a lot of Republicans won't vote for McCain - I'm not a fan of his either, but I think there should be more that refuse to vote for Romney than McCain. Romney wants power over us and the only evidence I need to convince me of that is his universal health care bill signing ceremony. I like my rights the way they are and so I would never vote for Romney, no matter how much lip-service he's paid to conservative causes that he never used to champion and never would have if not for his play at a power grab.

Top Romney Flip
February 6, 2008 - 14:50 ET by Clear thinkerTop Romney Flip Flops
1. Abortion
In October 2002, campaigning for governorship of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney said he would "preserve and protect" a woman's right to choose. He now describes himself as opposing abortion.
2. Gay Rights
In a 1994 letter to the Log Cabin Republicans, who advocate gay rights, Romney said he was in favor of "gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly" in the military. He now says it would be a mistake to interfere with the "don't ask, don't tell policy."
3. Gun Control
Campaigning for the Senate in 1994, Romney said he favored strong gun laws and did not "line up with the NRA." He signed up for "lifetime membership" of the NRA in August 2006 while pondering a presidential run, praising the group for "doing good things" and "supporting the right to bear arms."
4. Campaign Finance
In 1994, Romney advocated a spending limit on congressional elections and abolition of political action committees. In 2002, he supported public financing of campaigns from a 10 percent tax on private fund-raising. In 2008, he attacked the McCain-Feingold law limiting campaign contributions as an attack on free speech.
5. Immigration
In a November 2005 interview with the Boston Globe, he described immigration reform proposal advanced by McCain as "reasonable." He now denounces it as an "amnesty plan." In December 2006, he signed agreement authorizing state troopers to round up illegal immigrants.
There are a lot more, these are what are considered the BIG ONES.

Classic Romney Derangement Syndrome from Thompson gay lover
February 6, 2008 - 15:43 ET by Daniel BakerTaking short quotes of his about specific policy proposals to prove flip-flopping.
1 He promised he wouldn't change anything in Mass. as gov which is what Thompson wants also in his federalist only slant
2 Romney still is against discrimination against gays which Thompson also agrees with. Policy considerations change during war
3 Its a flip-flop to say you don't agree with everthing in NRA, but still consider them a valuable agency
4 Thompson-McCain-Feingold is it possible to disagree with certain parts of it and agree like Thompson are does he not get the benefit of the doubt from you
5 So mentioning a policy is reasonable which many of the things in the bill he still agrees with, but seeing that it had things like visa loopholes later is a bad thing? Thompson also probably agreed with many aspects of the bill.

Credibility?
February 6, 2008 - 10:04 ET by funkdomeI could really care less about having credibilty with the partisan haters on this board. I have heard similar drivel from Bush haters and I will say the same thing: I would be worried if I did have any credibilty with you.
You guys are like Bush haters in that you call him clever (stupid) names, you have a personal hatred for him and you never take the effort to promote the alternative (Romney) you just bash the guy you hate.
Maybe some of the McCain haters can start copying and pasting links to articles explaining why I should support Romney? All I see are mindless repetitions of Rush's talking points attacking McCain.

February 6, 2008 - 10:13 ET by NewsbusterbrownOverall, McCain votes much more on the Republican side of the aisle than the Democrats, so it's hard to say that he's a liberal. However, one of many problems that I have with him is that he has become liberal on key issues (man-made global warming, immigration, McCain-Feingold, etc.) that it will make it tough for me to mark his name on my ballot. I'll do it, but with utter dread.

February 6, 2008 - 10:10 ET by funkdomeI understand the theory that the media is promoting McCain and Huckabee and they hate Romney. I actually even agree with it. Two things:
1) This article has nothing to do with bias at all. The interviewer asked an expected question and he gave a positive response. I am sure we will see the same questions asked of Hillary or Obama soon.
2) The fact that the media likes somebody doesn't make him bad. It reminds me of the poseuers in high school who would dismiss a band as soon as it became popular. Music can be good even if it is popular, and a politician can be a good one even if the media likes him.

I am still a registered Republican, but I feel betrayed right now. This country is done for unless something drastic happens.
The bias is clear.
February 6, 2008 - 10:45 ET by c5thenDo you hear the media asking Obama if he'll accept the VP slot on a Hillary ticket?
As is posted here often...sometimes the bias is in what's NOT asked or reported about Democrats.
The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back! Alan Keyes '08.
For sure. A tremendous
February 6, 2008 - 10:55 ET by HumanEventsFor sure. A tremendous amount of the msm bias is in the form of what they do NOT report, or bury in a small paragraph on page b-16, or mention for 15 seconds near the end of a "news" broadcast. Like when the Great Stainmaker refused to deny he raped Juanita Broddarick, the msm didn't try to spin things defending him, they just ignored the whole thing. And that is HUGE bias towards Bill Clinton. By going YAWNNNNN to an allegation that he raped her, even when he NEVER even denied raping her! HUGE Democrat bias. HUGE!
(Need I even say, "Imagine what the msm would have done had a woman claimed Bush had raped her?" And Bush could even shout from the mountain tops that he didn't do it. But the msm would be all over the story for an eternity).
That's because the media are still Communists

So they will support the Socialist.. er.. Democratic Party even in the face of hypocrisy and blatant corruption.
Actually, he has been asked
February 7, 2008 - 10:09 ET by Ruths husband BenActually, he has been asked that, at least once. Back when Senator Clinton was a shoo-in.
ROTFLOL!!!
February 6, 2008 - 10:31 ET by c5thenThe joke is on Huckabee. McCain is far more likely to offer the vice-presidential slot on his ticket to the losing Dem candidate, be it Obama or Hillary than he is to Huckabee.

I don't know about Hillary,
February 6, 2008 - 13:33 ET by goldbarI don't know about Hillary, but Obama wouldn't even consider a ticket with McCain. McCain's most likely choice for VP would be a Lindsey Graham type republican. A younger version of himself. McCain has no interest in uniting the party.
You got that right! McCain
February 6, 2008 - 15:24 ET by Gary P JacksonYou got that right! McCain has been hauling Lindey around everywhere with him. Of course, as big of a POS as McCain is, he's probable promissed Lindsay, Gomer Pyle, and no telling how many others the veep slot. He is most capable of screwing them all over!
Huckabee: "Well, let's go
February 6, 2008 - 10:39 ET by HumanEventsHuckabee: "Well, let's go ahead and be honest now."
Okay, then why don't you admit that you and McCain are in cahoots with each other to beat Romney and hand the nomination to McCain?
It's so obvious what's going on and you two lying about it on top of this disgraceful collusion is so sleazy and will only further undermine your success in the general election. But McCain loves Hillary and thinks criticizing her would be "indulging in personal attacks" and has "no doubt she would be a good president." So for McCain/Huckabee to lose in a landslide to the she-devil would probably be just fine for you two phonies. Then McCain could switch parties, having completed his ultimate after 20 years of harming the Republican Party and spitting in the faces of conservatives. Then McCain could serve in a Dragon Lady administration. And perhaps even marry her someday, when she no longer needs The Great Stainmaker for her policial expediency.
Clinton happens
McCain happens
Huckabee happens

I would not blame Huckabee
February 6, 2008 - 12:49 ET by LilyPearlI would not blame Huckabee at all if he took the VP. Maybe he could be John McCain's moral compass. McCain would need one when it came to the embryonic stem cell issue.
LilyPearl, The vp slot is well WORTHLESS.
