Are you suggesting that Huckabee should run with Ron Paul? No you cant be no 
one would be insane enough to think there policies are similar. Ron Paul 
stands for protecting the Constitution while Huckabee wishes to change it. 
Paul is a conservative Huckabee is neocon scum.

Yes, I'm suggesting an H/P ticket.

I'm not sure if having similar policies is a prerequisite for VP.

Ron Paul stands for protecting the constitution for what it once was, not 
what is has become. Huckabee / Paul could prove more similar in this regard 
than you imply.

Further and more importantly, its about obtaining votes. Conservative versus 
Neo-Conservative could alternately be viewed as a collaboration within the 
party to forge an alliance that attracts votes from both those groups.

The current field from the democrats will likely result in a gender or 
racially based contender. What better competition could there be than a Con 
/ Neo-con ticket? I'd estimate republicans to achieve 60% of the popular 
vote.

Huckabee wants to change the Constitution and there is no way Ron Paul would 
let him. Not for a second.
A conservative and a neo conservative working together would work as well as 
if someone built a time machine, sent one of the founding fathers to the 
future and made them run with George Bush. Or Ron Paul and Hillary Clinton 
trying to work together. Choosing Huckabee as your vice President would be 
making the same mistake Reagan made when he chose Bush the 1st as his. We 
both know how that worked out.
Besides I think Huckabee's campaign is almost as bad as Rudy's. He's only 
won one state and come in second once (unless I'm mistaken) Its nice to see 
Ron Paul beating most of the neo conservatives though.

That is an over-simplification. Even if your assertion that one wants and 
the other doesn't want to change the constitution, it doesn't account for 
political compromise especially if a VP role was the result. Besides, unless 
I'm mistaken, congress plays a greater role in such matters

Not quite. A founding father would not have the benefit of the past 250 
years of history, but two current candidates would.

>Or Ron Paul and Hillary Clinton trying to work together.

That ticket would not appeal to anyone. The streangth of the H/P ticket is 
broad appeal. It also provides a built-in check and balance since as you 
claim, one is more willing to change the constitution while other other 
doesn't.

Not sure if that statement carries any convincing evidence.

I think you might be getting low on points to make a convincing argument 
with. At this point while the list is thinning out, there is still some time 
until November.

What's so over simplified about it? Huckabee has said he wants to change the 
Consitution for God or something. I can give you an exact quote if you like. 
I was trying not to bloviate like I usually do maybe thats why I sounded 
that way.
Yeah that would work out if it was Huckabee/Romney or Huckabee/McCain but I 
honestly dont believe any of the candidates running will work well with 
Paul.

I doubt a founding father would "compromise" when Bush destroys the 4th 
Amendment or gets rid of habeas corpus in the name of preventing another 
911. The founding fathers fought and died for the freedom's America enjoys 
today there is no way they would agree on taking away those freedoms for 
security. They knew that governments eventually turned corrupt that's one of 
the reasons why I believe they created the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Not only that Hillary and Ron Paul are opposite ends of the voting spectrum. 
That's what I meant.

The Iran/Contra scandal, funding Saddam, The Afghanistan resistance against 
the Soviets, the activities of the CIA and the many bombings America took 
part in. If Reagan hadn't sided with the neocon's he might be turned into 
founding father material. Although his economic plan saves him.

But Rudy hasn't won once. Ok I'll tell you what I'll wait till super Tuesday 
if he hasn't won then I will go back to my previous stance on him. How's 
that?
