There are perfectly fair questions which need to be asked of all of them. None of them are perfect.

If the Fits folks want to toss a bit of humor, perhaps even snarky humor, into how they evaluate the candidates they should.

Of course, I’m not known for being “Mr. Nice Guy” myself, so I’m not about to go pointing fingers at others anyway.

Yeah, there’s guys out there like that, but they’re not polling over 10 percent (see: Richardson, Biden, Kucinich, Paul). The American people have spoken, and they want more bullshit, not less. Otherwise, how can you explain Clinton and Romney’s poll numbers?

What a horrific fate! Could there be anything worse than straight forward, message driven candidates running for office?

Thus, in 2008 I at least want a candidate whom I believe is of good character and sound judgment. Huckabee is a close second in my mind but something is still lacking. He appears to be a bit weak on experience and conviction and just doesn’t feel “presidential”. He would make a hell of a vice pres though. Giuliani seems too sleazy and is frankly a little too much of a nor’easter for my taste. Unless a dark horse appears from the fog, I don’t know what else is out there. Anyways, that’s my two cents. Thanks again for the great work and stay on top of the Supremes.

We appreciate your comments. Thanks for submitting them …

We don’t really “favor Huckabee” because as we said, we’ve got some real concerns about his record on fiscal issues. And as for the notion that we “dislike Romney,” that’s not true either. We literally can’t stand him, and frankly we think he’s the fakest human being on the entire planet.

Having said all that, unlike other blogs here in South Carolina, we’re not in anybody’s “presidential pocket,” which has helped us tremendously in terms of legitimacy as well as facilitating our steady rise in traffic.

As an opinion site, people know we dislike certain candidates (and like certain other candidates), but they also know that nobody is immune from feeling the poison of our pens when they screw up, just as nobody is ever totally out of bounds for receiving praise when they get something right.

Again, though, thanks for taking the time to read and react. Your suggestions are good and your perspective is appreciated.

I have only been reading this blog for a few months and this is the first complaint I have. You have made it abundently clear that you dislike Romney and apparently seem to favor Huckabee. As I see it, all of the current rep. candidates have flaws, strengths and weakenesses. It is certainly within your discretion to endorse or oppose a primary candidate, but it doesn’t help you reach a wider audience. I am sure that the readers of this blog vary widely on their choice for candidates. In my personal opinion you should stay above the fray on this one or at least attempt to be more objective.

just kidding … spend more time enjoying the view here and stop taking this site so seriously, ok?
