McCain-Huckabee: From this blog to conventional wisdom in less than 24 hours. (Which more or less guarantees that it's a bad idea.)

I like McCain and had he not been Roved in 1999, he would have been my guy in 2000. Unfortunately, I think he is too old this time around. And do we really need another huckster from Arkansas? Didn't we learn anything the first time?

David Broder represents conventional senility, not wisdom. As for Mr. Donegal's "another huckster from Arkansas" line, we could certainly use a return to the competent government we had from 1993-January 20, 2001. I don't think a would-be televangelist like Huckabee is up to that task.

McCain would certainly have been a better choice than Dumbya in 2000, but then so would "Big Papi" Ortiz, Jerry Springer, or the guy in the Burger King suit. His age now is a concern, but his efforts over the last several years to stick his entire head in Dumbya's fundament is an even bigger one.

I've been saying for months that a McCain/Huckabee ticket would be a nearly-sure winner. Everything I've seen in the "debates" has only reinforced this impression.

I think Broder's best line here though is that Rudy and Romney's contempt for each other is "obvious, and deserved".
