Ooooh….wouldn’t that make the Democrats MAD?????

Muahahahahaha

Blanche doesnt want card check to come up. Ark is a big right to work state. 5% union and big anti-union companies like Tyson and WWalmart. We should hold her feat to the fire.

Just having a heavy weight in the game may scare Linocln straight. If there is no credible threat in these races, Dem Senators wil act bolder.

Republicna recruiting should be bazing. 2010 Senators like Linocln should be looking over their shoulders and voting as if they will be punished if they fall out of line with their constituents.

Even if he doesnt want to run,. Huckabee should just fake it it for year. That alone will keep Lincoln centrist.

and tells them all about how much attention their companies are going to get from the USDOL, DOJ, ICE, and a whole alphabet soup of federal power and all they have to do to avoid that unpleasantness and possible perp walks is sheath their swords about Card Check. Said CEOs say, “what about our competitors?” Rahmbo says, “They’re being made the same offer.” CEOs say, “Where do I sign.” That is the way the game is played.

…from mucking up the 2012 GOP presidential race. He’s acceptable as a governor or senator, but president? No way, ever.

but anyone who saw his speech here today, I sat up front, can clearly see he plans to run in 2012. I don’t think he has interest in the senate seat. Again this is based on his speech today which was very campaign like.

but not anything higher. If he runs that would force the Dems to use a lot of resources in a seat that I’m sure they thought was safe. Plus, I think he could win it.

RUN MIKE RUN!!

He should run for the Senate seat, or at least make a whole lot of noise like he’s really considering it.

In the meantime, stay in the media. He has a natural way of talking that reflects well on conservatives and manages to get some media attention. Milk it.

Huckabee has someone in mind for the Senate seat in Arkansas and it ain’t him.
I know that it’s going to be hard to win without all the Red State people gung ho because people were key to President Thompson’s victory, however Huckabee is building an organization and I think the only office he’ll run for is President.

Arkansas voters seem to give a leg up to a known quantity. Governor Huckabee was popular and had he run for office in Arkansas rather than chasing the presidency he would likely have won. He has built up some ill will because he did not help the state Republican party and that has not been forgotten. He can try again and given his likable personality would certainly be given a chance to prove his sincerity in wanting to be an Arkansas US senator. I did vote for him to be governor and would likely vote for him as senator. I did not vote for him to be president nor would I if he ran again.

I like Mike, but he cannot beat Obama… period… Need to concentrate on someone who can beat Obama. Senator would be good, maybe he will rethink it.

I would NOT be in that line because I do not much like Huckabee. However, I would not mind him running for Senate. I think he would generally be a good Senator. Horrible president, but acceptable Senator.

Blanche Lincoln is a fairly conservative (by modern standards) Dem. If she felt she would be challenged by Huckabee, she would become an even more “blue dog”. As Obama moves further left I gotta believe more Dems from red states are going to be look at their own careers and start to wonder what their future in the Democrat party is going to be.

We saw this in the 80’s with the likes of Phil Gramm; I bet there are others!

I recall watching a Huckabee show a month or two ago and the question came up if he had any interest in a Senate position. He flat said he had no interest in the legistlative branch of Government

In 1992 he ran against Dale Bumpers, and he lost by 20 points, 60-40.

He says he wants to help the party. Taking down Lincoln helps the party and country
