I agree with that earlier poster who said that "like" shouldn't even be part of the equation. Take Mike Huckabee for instance. The guy has shot up in the polls in Iowa because unlike the frontrunners in his party, he's a "nice" man. It's like that's all it takes for the average idiot. Nevermind that he is for policing the planet and for amnesty of illegal aliens and has raised taxes in his state numerous times, he's nice. So what? You want nice? Get a freakin' puppy dog. This is about electing someone who has a clear direction for the country and who, come January 2009, will have the biggest job in the world to fill and a set of foreign and domestic concerns that are unrivalled in America's history with two wars, a 10 trillion dollar debt, no policy on the envirionment, and much resentment from around the world. It's a tall order this time, but Iowans are beginning to "like" Huckabee. He's such a nice man!
