Huckabee is a bush clone the only difference is huckabee is a complete religious nut. While bush just played up to the christain right.

It won't stop the racist blaming the white anglo saxon male for every evil on the planet!

America "Turning in a new direction ..."? " ...a new direction for American politics."? " ... turning a new page in its history."?

As about unlikely as 'America withdrawing their/its troops from Iraq' Dr Brendon. With several massive military bases under construction or nearing completion across Iraq (the largest said to be several hundred square miles in size), the U$ military are there to stay. Hence the biggest U$ foreign embassy in the world also under construction in Baghdad!

'First woman president or first afro-american president' will make very little difference, regardless of who ends up being (s)elected.
Unless 'Common Huckabee' has secured the degree of corporate backing enjoyed by Obama, he is really not in the race. Even supposing that he had, such approval/backing from the U$ ruling class would guarantee, that like millionaire Clinton and her millionaire rival Obama, not one of them is interested or authorised to be the 'saviour' of the ubiquitous american WASPS ... unless they happen to be fellow members of the millionaire/billionaire class of course.

Working class 'WASPS' have been made 'redundant' in their millions over recent decades, followed more recently by large numbers of their former managers and technocratic supervisors ... leaving a terrified and hollowed out 'middle class'.

" ...a new direction for American politics."? Yeah, right!
