Obama/Huckabee

[topaz]

The first person on my friends list to find me some Obama/Huckabee slash, I will LUV U 4-EVAR.

Damn, those Iowans are awesome.  I think the only combo I would have found more hysterical and implausible than this would have been Kucinich vs. Ron Paul.

Why so fond of Huckabee?

Because he's one of the most absurd candidates on the Republican slate. His social agenda is more extreme, he's least convincing as a national leader, and he has almost no credibility on the national stage. Almost all of the press he's been getting in the last couple of months about his "surge" in popularity has been to the effect of: "Are you KIDDING?"

So for Huckabee to take Iowa, especially by such a huge margin over Romney, represents a near-complete breakdown of any kind of cohesive strategy in the Republican party. That can be nothing but good for the Democrats. (Granted that they could still lose -- nobody knows how to kill a good thing as well as the Democratic Party does.)

I hope that you're right. I know that large chunks of Ohio seem to be both religious and conservative; I worked for a while for a company in the Columbus suburbs and I think there were many people there who would vote for Huckabee. (And I'm not even talking about the guy who was living in fear of Nancy Pelosi. He's just ... different.)

Well, the movie "I <3 Huckabees" was supposed to be pretty good, so maybe he's getting some name-brand recognition there. Also some people like Applebees restaurant. I genuinely wonder if some people just fancy his name.
