There are many more registered Democrats out there than Republicans, nationally. Bush won basically as a backlash against Clinton, and he just narrowly pulled that one out by the slightest of margins through the electoral college (while advocating Ron Paul's foreign policy!)

That's where Huckabee and many of these guys err. You're right that he is certainly not a fiscal conservative. Hasn't National Review had a few editors endorse Ron Paul lately? "Paul is way behind other Fiscal Cons like Giuliani, Romney and even Fred Thompson in the polls." That's not true at all. Giuliani is backing completely out of New Hampshire because he knows he has no hope there, and Ron Paul is tied with Romney in some states, above Thompson in others, only 3% behind Giuliani in Iowa, and only 6% behind second place in South Carolina with 11% in CNN's latest poll. Unlike the other candidates (with the possible exception of McCain), Ron Paul attracts many independents, Democrats, and those who have never voted before, so it's safe to say that his support is above his poll numbers, while you can't make that estimate for any other candidate. Ron Paul's numbers are going up, while everyone else except Huckabee is going down (and Huckabee's will when people find out about Wayne Dumond, etc.) We'll see how the polls turn out, it should be interesting. But I think everyone should unite behind Ron Paul. He's the only one the Democrats can't attack personally, just on positions, and he can bring people around to his positions and even steal Democrats from them. I don't think any of these other guys have a hope against Hillary or Obama, honestly. They would be torn apart, especially Giuliani and Thompson. Romney may have a chance, but I don't think he could win a general election since he's not going to attract independents to his side over either of the Democrats and because some just won't get over the Mormon thing.

He is everything that we oppose - "fiscally liberal and socially conservative." Huck? Double - Yuck! I'm a big "Libertarian for Giuliani." Have been for over a year. But even I'm willing to switch to Romney if it would help unite all Fiscal Cons behind one candidate to challenge Huckabee. National Review, the icon for libertarian conservatives, recently endorsed Romney. And libertarian Republican Bill Weld is formally backing him. The Ron Paul people need to wake up and realize that this Huckabee threat is for real. Paul is way behind other Fiscal Cons like Giuliani, Romney and even Fred Thompson in the polls. If we all don't agree on one candidate soon - the Thompson people, the Romney people, the Giuliani people, AND the Paul people - we're screwed!
