The Huckabee/Spacy Connection

I thought to myself today, "blue, Why don't you write about how much Mike Huckabee resembles Kevin Spacy; thinking, of course, that I was the first one to notice this. Well, I was wrong big time. I googled Mike Huckabee and Kevin Spacy and came up with a lot of search results with people thinking the same thing.
Now here is a question for you. Does the fact that Huckabee sort of resembles Spacy affect how you see him as a presidential candidate? Will you be more inclined to vote for him? Well, in my honest opinion, I probably would be more inclined to vote for him. I know that sounds a little silly because one's looks do not foretell, one way or another, if the person is right for the job. But lets face it. How many more votes would Hilary Clinton get if she looked like Kate Winslet? A lot more if you ask me. That's just the way the country works. People with the better outward appearance and larger bank account tend to have more of an edge in life. An edge not by their own doing, but an edge bestowed upon them by everyone else. They only have an edge because the people give it to them. This is why JFK won over Richard Nixon. When you look at the debates they had together, it was Kennedy who looked smarter, cleverer, and more presidential. Nixon looked old and out of tune with what was happening in the world. I strongly feel that Hilary Clinton will not be our future president. There is just too much opposition standing in her way, not to mention many years of tradition. There has never been a female American president. It is going to come down to a fire fight between the Obama/Edwards ticket and the Huckabee/Giuliani ticket. I know that at this time it is Clinton who is leading in the Democratic polls, but I think that the Democratic base will realise that their best chance at securing the presidency will be with Obama and Edwards. I have nothing against Clinton. It's just that I can see the same thing that has happened to Mitt Romney happen to Her. The Conservative Republican base is uniting under Huckabee. The last time I check the national polls, Huckabee was dead even with Giuliani, with both being way ahead of Romney. Imagine what would happen if Giuliani and Huckabee became the Republican ticket. And especially if Hilary Clinton/Obama or Edwards was there oposing ticket. The Republicans would rally and unite like never before. Huckabee would gather the conserive evangelicals and Giuliani, being quite liberal for a Republican, would gather the independents and some disgruntled liberals. The only shot the Democrats have is if they throw the Clinton dynasty idea out the window and go with the younger and more hip and relevant duo of Obama and Edwards. It is definitely going to be a great race and I cannot wait for the debates to commence. I do not know about the rest of you, but my money's on Kevin Spacy...I mean Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani.
Note: Will the better looking candidates succeed? It has been that way in the past, lets see if it happens again.

  • Bill Clinton beat George Bush senior.
  • Bill Clinton beat Bob Dole.
  • George Bush beat Gore/Lieberman---Bush and Gore where a tie, but Chaney beats Lieberman hands down. Lieberman looks like a chipmunk (no offence intended).
  • Bush beats Kerry--this one was too close to call, but I think that Bush gets the nod, barely. Kerry's face was sagging all over the place before he got botox, or whatever he did.
