HUCKABEE OUT OF 2012 RACE, NOW WHO?

I consider myself one of Mike Huckabee's most ardent supporters. When he ran for president in 2008, I went all out and did whatever I possibly could to support him. Needless to say, when he announced that he wasn't going to run in the 2012 election cycle, I was pretty much heart broken.

My first thought was, "What in the world am I going to do now?" In my opinion, the field of candidates for the GOP is extremely weak. I have analyzed the candidates to see who I might possibly support in place of Huckabee, but none stand out whatsoever.

Tim Pawlenty = boring. The Republican equivalent of Al Gore. Blah.

Mitt Romney = robot. He says and does everything exactly like a political robot. He panders, flip flops, and shows virtually no personality.

Ron Paul = kooky. His extreme views and near ancient age make him a non starter. He will have the pot head vote but not much more than that.

Herman Cain = Alan Keys v.2. Enough said. He isn't going to get the nomination.

Newt Gingrich = unelectable. He has too much baggage, a bland personality, oh, and a horrendous name. He doesn' t generate enthusiasm at all.

I could go on but why torture myself? Needless to say, my vote is still very much up for grabs
I hope some sort of charismatic, smart, exciting candidate enters the race and sweeps me off my feet like Hucksbbe did in '08, but it's not looking good.

Why Huck, why? The nomination was yours for the taking. It might as well been sitting on a silver platter for you, but you were not willing.

It'll all work out. I'm sure God will make it all play out right. With Obama getting the boot!
