Well, it doesn’t seem to have done Huckabee any harm in Iowa! Goddamnit, I don’t even want to think about what a Huckabee presidency would be like.

Neither do I, but I figure it would take exceptionally large quantities of finite Improbability.

OTOH, I relish the thought of what a reasonably successful Huckabee run for the nomination would do for, or rather _to_, the GOP. 😃

No, but isn’t it splendid to imagine what a Huckabee presidential campaign would be like? 😃 I have this mental image of the Democrats just steam-rolling right over Huckabee - it would be beautiful. Which is why I’m wishing him all the luck in the world for the primaries - Huck has got to be every Democrat’s dream opponent.

[QUOTE=chorpler]  
I don’t understand. Why were they so opposed to you taking Christian religious holidays off?  
[/QUOTE]

Ash Wednesday? That’s not a Christian holiday, it’s a “mackerel-snapping Papist” one. :rolleyes:
