  1. Don't forget #1 & #8 are both still running as well. How McCain and Romney avoided that list I'll never know.

  2. Because the Keating 5 issue happened prior to 2007 and because Romney has not been linked to ethical violations that I know of.

  3. Huckabee and the destroyed hard drives

    He was also chosen as one of the top ten Governors by Time

    There's a lot of mud that could be slung

  4. Crushed hard drives??? You don't crush a hard drive to remove information, EB, and certainly not 91 of them.

    I'll investigate on Romney but from the sound of it, he did the right thing in not signing to prevent the appearance of a violation. That's hardly a bad thing.

  5. Attorney General Dustin McDaniel last week said he could find no reason to pursue any action against Huckabee over the 91 destroyed hard drives.

    was this difficult to understand/

    btw my two most recent employers have both had laptops stolen with my personal information on them...I got nice little letters in the mail about them

    I've not decided who I'm voting for..and frankly throwing mud is not what I'm interested in, I'm trying to decide which bum is the best to vote for

    I bet if you look at who suggested Huckabee did something wrong it probably came from the other side of aisle

    he's not been indicted nor convicted of any crime

  6. Hillary hasn't been indicted of any crime either but we still know those FBI files didn't lose themselves.

    EB - Rush Limbaugh just spent 15 minutes talking about how Huckabee is pushing liberal spin to tank Romney. Huck implied to reporters that Sean Hannity endorsed Romney because Romney owned Clear Channel (via Bain) and Sean was beholden to this radio network. All of that is patently untrue and has been circulated on the same liberal sites that smeared Dick Cheney and Haliburton.

    Huckabee is a liar and is trying to get the veep. His staffers acknowledged his veep intentions on the Bill Lemaye show 02/01.

    You are right that the mud slinging isn't helpful but I am furious with Huckabee because I was willing to vote for him and I feel seriously betrayed by this nonsense. There were a lot of moments when I was ready to check the box for him - even though he thinks I am going to hell. When he started emerging, I gave him an honest chance. There was a time I would have voted for him over Romney because I felt his message was clearer but this latest series of snide and underhanded tactics have sickened me. He is no honorable man.

  7. I understand Cate. I hope you understand this little exercise is helping me. I'm not trying to pick a fight with you...I'm playing devils advocate for a purpose.
