Subliminal Huckabee
When I'm working with the TV running in the background, and I happen to hear Huckabee doing an interview, I'll look over and think semiconsciously "Who's that? Oh yeah, that's the President." And the deep meaning of 'president' here is more than just 'occupant of the Oval Office'; it's more like 'natural chief of our tribe' or 'grandfather'.
Obviously this has no connection to intellect or decision; as stated before, I've decided that Duncan Hunter is the only current candidate who gets the important questions right... especially his focus on re-taking our industrial base from China. On this logical level, Huckabee strikes me as too soft and forgiving for our present predicament.
And this response can't be a result of advertising; I've seen and heard plenty of ads for Romney and Giuliani, the rich guys who have enough private wealth to advertise early, but haven't seen or heard any Huckabee ads.
It must be some deep subliminal thing. I don't recall this sensation with any other President or candidate in my lifetime. Maybe it's the same thing that enabled FDR to lead us through extremely difficult times. If this is a common reaction, maybe it's the most important quality of all, overriding all those checklist "issues". ¶ 7:27 PM
