A Surprise To Whom?

Everyone is supposed to be terribly "surprised" that Mike Huckabee, the best Democrat in the Republican Party, did so well in the old Democratic states of the South. Why?

Sooner or later, the Democrats who have been hoodwinked into voting Republican, and thus into keeping that party in existence, were always going to demand a Presidential nominee who really did agree with them on moral and social issues (which neither Reagan nor either of the Bushes ever showed the slightest practical sign of doing), and who would, moreover, put their economic interests first, as the allegedly leftish Democratic Party stopped doing a very long time ago. And now, that time has come.

McCain can choose Giuliani or Lieberman as his running mate. Or he can choose Huckabee. If the former, then I hope, even more than I do anyway, that the Democrats choose John Edwards. The Republicans can then be hounded out of the South and West, about which they have never really cared anyway.

Only one person can stop that from happening, and persuade even the most diehard populist to vote Republican one last time before going home to die. That person is Hillary Clinton. She must be stopped.
