Politics: Daily Poll: An absurdly early 2012 GOP presidential straw poll

  • The Washington Post’s Monday Fix got us to thinking this week due to their power list of Republicans in 2012. Sarah Palin is on top of it. And in a minor upset, Tim Pawlenty is in front of Mitt Romney. And Mike “always a bridesmaid, never a bride” Huckabee is standing pat in fourth. Now, we know it’s early and it doesn’t mean anything, but we’d like to know who you’d most likely vote for in 2012, if given the choice. This is obviously unscientific and mostly for fun. And feel free to tell us how much you hate (insert object of scorn here) in the comments. source

Politics: The Religious Right’s having a reunion this weekend. Remember them?

  • We have been on a slippery slope since 1973, since we decided it was perfectly okay to terminate the life of a healthy unborn child.
  • Former Arkansas Governor (and presumptive 2012 presidential candidate) Mike Huckabee • Describing the moral climate of the country at the Family Research Council’s Value Voters Summit. The Religious Right will probably be the key voting bloc for Republicans in 2012 if they have any chance of beating Obama – a fact likely proven by both John McCain‘s loss last year and the party’s current disarray in comparison with their strength eight years ago. • source

Politics: Huckabee drags Ted Kennedy’s dead body into health care debate

  • It was just laying there in Boston! Huckabee, who is a smart, funny guy whether or not you like his politics, said on his radio show Thursday that Kennedy would have died sooner under Obamacare. “When Sen. Kennedy was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at 77, did he give up on life and go home to take pain pills and die? Of course not.” We’re not gonna vouch for this, but we are gonna say that now may not be the best time to make this argument. source

Politics: Bizarro Max Headroom: The GOP trashes on Palin, but Biden doesn’t.

  • Explosive chat This panel discussion is loaded with fireworks: On Fox News, top GOP guys Mike Huckabee and Karl Rove trash on Sarah Palin. They almost put the dagger in, but not quite.

  • Biden’s low-key blastsWhile Republicans were ready with the daggers, Joe Biden took a much softer approach on “This Week,” saying he believed Palin’s reasons were family-related.

  • A party for protestersSome celebrated the 4th of July with fireworks. Others, like in this CNN report, celebrated by having tea parties where no biscuits were served. Pick your poison.

Politics, U.S.: Mike Huckabee’s a poet and we didn’t even know it!

  • Here’s a story about a lady named Nancy / A ruthless politician, but dressed very fancy / Very ambitious, she got herself elected Speaker / But as for keeping secrets, she proved quite a ‘leaker.’
  • Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee • Who wrote a wonderfully jerkish poem called “Fancy Nancy” about embattled Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who has faced a bit of drama lately about harsh interrogation techniques. If you think this poem is good, you should see what good ol’ Mike has to say about Nantucket. • source

Politics: Republicans on Obama: Slow down, you move too fast

  • The problem we have is, we don’t know after 50-plus days in office what the distance of the race is and what’s the level of the president’s pace or his endurance.
  • Ed Rollins • Former political director for Ronald Reagan and the guy behind Mike Huckabee’s somewhat resonant presidential primary campaign, on what Barack Obama’s big problem is. Personally, we don’t like his ears. They stick out too much. • source
