This doesn’t really have to do with the post, but I couldn’t help but notice you have banners for Thompson, Keyes, AND Huckabee. So which one’s your preference? And do you think any of them have a chance?
What do you think of Robertson’s support of Giuliani?
LEP,
I guess that could be confusing. I will not be disappointed if any of these three get the republican nomination and I think all three could easily defeat Hillary. I also think that these are the only three that can defeat Hillary.
I have been a Fred Thompson supporter since I first heard that he was considering getting into the race back in the spring. Of the “frontrunners” he is the best option to get back to the Reagan ideals.
Alan Keyes got into the race way too late and has zero chance of winning but I really like his ideas and the way he articulates them. I used to listen to his radio show and he bases everything off of his religious beliefs which I think is the way it should be. If everything was equal, my first choice might be Alan Keyes by a slim margin over Thompson.
I began to look at Huckabee because Thompson has been struggling lately. I still think Thompson will do very well in the primaries in the South and Midwest but I don’t know if that will be enough to propel him to the nomination. Giuliani, Romney, and McCain are not viable options for me so that only left Huckabee. As I have looked at his position on various issues I have found that he will be a very good candidate. I have said all that to say that if Thompson falters then I would support Mike Huckabee without any reservations.
I was very surprised at Pat Robertson’s endorsement of Giuliani. I can’t figure out his reasoning other than he might think that Giuliani is the only one who can beat Hillary. If that is his reason then I think he is wrong. Giuliani will not win the South and Midwest because the religious right will not vote for him. If Giuliani is the Republican candidate in the general election one of two things will happen. The religious right will vote for a third party candidate or they will not vote at all. Both of these will insure a Hillary win. With that knowledge, I can’t understand why Robertson endorsed Giuliani.
From what I’ve heard, Robertson’s endorsement had something to do with a “tough-on-terrorist” stance by Giuliani. But it’s not like other candidates don’t have the same viewpoint.
Giuliani is probably relying on the right hating Hillary more than him. It may not be a terrible gamble. He’ll lose some votes, but I don’ t think it will be in droves.
Now if Obama manages to beat Hillary, Giuliani would be in more trouble. I’d certainly go Obama in that matchup.
