Dream Candidates [Y-not]

While we're waiting for a new thread, here's some GREAT NEWS:

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee will announce Saturday that his eponymous show on Fox News this weekend will be his last as he explores a repeat run for the White House in 2016, he wrote in an email to supporters Saturday.

Fortunately, Iowahawk is also considering a run.

I promise to create an economic depression and confine it to a 40 mile radius of the US capitol. #Iowahawk2016
— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) January 4, 2015

Who would YOU like to see run for POTUS?

I'd give strong consideration to this guy:

(Mike Rowe)

OK, I really think the time is right to add some zing to this whole primary process.
I revive my idea to fact check candidates' words for accuracy. Trap doors under each.
Then, as they winnow out, maybe a three judge panel to decide on those dubious gray areas.
Get some good judges, like American Idol.

I have a theory that Repuplicans use the Pointer Sisters song Slow Hand as a guidebook to politics.

Everything they do, eapecially conservative measures, is done with an 'easy touch.'

Why? Probably because advisors are telling them to tiptoe or else theyll lose public support.

113 109 See, I think any candidate who doesn't have a chance at winning the general election and--probably--not the nomination, but who would split up the conservative vote, is a threat.

That seems like a sensible argument, but does a "God loves Him some Government spending" platform really pull many conservatives?

130 but does a "God loves Him some Government spending" platform really pull many conservatives?

I wish it didn't, but he pulled 20% in the 2008 primaries. That segment of the party also threatens to bolt during just about every Presidential election now (and Huckabee has also). So, at minimum it splits some of the vote. In a worst case scenario, the fight exacerbates that fault line and he runs after the primary as an independent.

Voices, he hears voices. Would not be surprised if Rupert Murdoch put a little word in his ear.

If Perry can climb his way back to viability, and get the nomination, it's hard to think of a ticket that would put a bigger smile on my face when I went to the polling place.

But if Walker makes it through, I'd have a different smile, a secret smile, a "you smug little child socialists are about to be outmaneuvered, and you don't even suspect it" smile.

157 Aside from the fact that I'm pissed at Mike Rowe for deciding to pick my alma mater to mock in his 'Work Hard and Smart' campaign, I think he's misleading people about the future of blue-collar work and the trades.

158 I'd got with Mark Steyn/Iowahawk. . At least we'd get some scathing humor and cleverness in a campaign. Creating an economic depression within 40 miles of DC is a catchy slogan- and I could support it with exemptions for the people who aren't part of Obama's corrupt leviathan government or enablers of it.

159 @157 - I think we need people in the trades, but if my husband had been a bricklayer or welder we would be in the poorhouse and he would be dead. He had heart failure followed by a heart transplant, and that Data Base Administrator desk job saved his life. He could work from home, sitting down, on oxygen. If he had been a laborer (my dad was a laborer, I am not against that), he could not have worked and that would have been it for us. He would also not have had the good health insurance the big mean oil company gave us.

But a college education isn't the answer to everything, either.

By the way, we got rid of them. Some people say he raised taxes, but I don't remember that. He did support a gas tax for roads as a popular referendum, but hey, if everyone votes on it...
