I listen to them all. Michael Medved, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly. Ok, I'm really forced to listen to O'Reilly and Hannity because my husband likes them so well and they're usually on sometime in the evening. Between you and me, the aforementioned duo are a couple of blow-hards. My favorite is Michael Medved - he's one of the best talk radio hosts I've ever heard. His debating of the issues is unrivaled. He is even-handed in the way he approaches each issue and does not walk lock-step with the other talk radio gurus. In fact it was Michael Medved that first pointed out the viability of a Huckabee nomination. Before that I really had not considered him an electable option. But, once I started checking him out, the better I liked him. Now I am a full-blown supporter. I've actually donated money (first-time ever) and I've made phone calls to Iowa to get out the vote. I take a little credit for the win in Iowa. So, why the long introduction to this post?

Michael has turned on me. He's now supporting McCain. I never saw this stab in the back coming. Why, Michael, why? After all we've been through. How could you do this to me? How?

Here's how. For all their bloviating about who is the true conservative the talk radio pundits have gotten it wrong. Michael likes McCain, Hannity has been pushing Rudy Guiliani down our throats, Hugh Hewitt wants Romney (his support is a bit tainted, more on that later). And their big complaint about Huckabee? He's a fiscal liberal. He offered a helping hand to the children of illegal immigrants. It's amazing how they can overlook the liberal tendencies of their candidate, but when it comes to Huckabee they can't forgive his indiscretions. Here's the rundown according to this homeschooling evangelical Mom.

John McCain - Do you not remember the last presidential race, the Gang of 14, McCain-Feingold, need I go on? Also, he's such a Washington insider. It doesn't get anymore inside than him.

Mitt Romney - Too slick for the room. You thought Bill Clinton was slick? Take a gander at Slick Mitt. I just do not trust him on the pro-life issue. He is from the Northeast for goodness sakes. He's the governor of a liberal bastion, Massachusetts. Also, I don't want a businessman running the government. The businessman will fire you because it's good for his bottom line. Fiscal heresy, you say! Be that as it may, I still respond to Huckabee's comment about the next President being less like the guy who fired you.

Rudy Guiliani - Strong on the war, weak on the social issues. I don't trust Rudy if it comes to the pro-life issue. Would he sign a partial birth abortion ban? I don't know. By the by, Rudy is my second choice of candidate.

Fred Thompson - ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ oh I'm sorry I must've dozed off.

Ron Paul - Nut Job with a few good points. His argument against giving three times the aid to the Arab nations as we give to Israel? Why do we do that anyway?

Mike Huckabee - The only man that can rally the evangelical base and attract the African-American evangelicals and the average Joe. What's not to like? He's down-to-earth, folksy, and extremely electable. He has a good head on his shoulders and cares about the common people. He has also beaten the Clinton political machine two different times. Oh, by the way, being governor of Arkansas for ten years doesn't make him qualified to run for president? Just ask Bill Clinton. Put Huckabee head to head against shrill Hillary and you've got yourself a winner.
