Re: The ET US Presidential Primary caucus. (4.00 / 3)

Upon the US achieving President Huck which amongst you Huck fans would be willing to host a mass-migration of US ET'ers?

Re: The ET US Presidential Primary caucus. (none / 1)

I've been wondering that, myself. :) CH, I'm not trying to do battle with you. Just please keep in mind that your method of reform could have more serious effects on people than you intend.

Wow. If a hypothetical vote generated this much discussion, what are the months right before the election going to be like.... <runs, hides>

Its something I'd probably want take you up on. Nearly close enough to retirement that I'd sure look at it hard. I don't actually think I could leave my two daughters and granddaughters here to face the sexist evil of which this would be the harbringer.

Are you expecting the Republic of Gilead?

Away from politics, I used to know a lot of US women in the bellydance community. They generally felt directly threatened by the situation as it was a year ago (when I dropped out). They know gilead is practically here in some states already. As for some of the repugs like Huck or Romney becoming pres.... sheesh, terror gets close for how they feel.

Re: The ET US Presidential Primary caucus. (none / 0)

Yeah, I'm here in California, so I'd be hoping for a "States Rights" right wing presidency. Sometime I'll have to write up a diary about taking my daughter and her family on a move to Florida and the drive across the south that freaked her out pretty completely.

Re: The ET US Presidential Primary caucus. (4.00 / 3)

You will be received with open arms... but let's face it.. the only thing which seems good for the rest of the World and which are at least a possibility are an Edwards administration and a Huck administration...

and I still think a Huck administration ahs more chances than an edwards one.. sad.. but true.

get ready for the emigration. Barcelona is a lovely place :)

A pleasure

Barcelona? That's in Sicily, right? I don't think I can eat that much pasta for the rest of my life! :-)

Seriously, I don't think Huckabee can win the GOP nomination, much less the Presidency. But I've been wrong before. In one way the man scares me. As Drew wrote, a majority of people in the US are fed-up. Yet, no one on the Left is doing anything. Huck is projecting a mixture of down-home populism, Holy-Roller, anti-war, resentiment that could, if the chips fall wrong, do well.

Re: The ET US Presidential Primary caucus. (none / 1)

We'll see. I think Huckabee will win in Iowa and then it should become really interesting.
For the record, my prediction of the primaries' outcome:
Giuliani/Huckabee vs. Clinton/Richardson
