Imagine an Obama/Huckabee Ticket
Just think about that for a second... Huckabee, outcast by his party establishment for his left of center social views, gets called by Barack Obama.
Barack: Huck, sorry to hear about your loss.
Huckabee: Thanks man. You're doing really well!
Barack: Yes, but there are all these rumors about my muslim background that are haunting me. I don't know if I'll be able to shake'em in the national election.
Huckabee: I hear ya. Those Republican stragists are monsters. They'll tear you limb from limb if you don't play ball. If they can find anything, ANYTHING, that might bring you down, they'll go there.
Barack: I know it. That's why I'm calling you today. Look, you and I have a lot in common. We're change candidates, and we aren't the establishment's guys. I notice you drift left on a lot of social issues...
Huckabee: Yeah, I support socialize medicine... social security... amnesty for illegal immigrants... all that stuff the Republican establishment abhores.
Barack: So why call yourself a republican.
Huckabee: Cause I'm a christian. A strong-willed christian.
Barack: ...and that's exactly why I want you on board my campaign. I respect your beliefs, you see, and it's important we stop looking at christianity as a "republicans-only" religion. It's not. Jesus was a socialist, afterall. He helped the poor.
Huckabee: You know, after the beating those guys gave me, I'm tempted to consider your offer.
Barack: The republican party is a dead end for you now. Come, bring your message to the democrats. We can change politics. If change is what you truly want.
Huckabee: Ok... I'm in! How can I refuse!
