Huckabee was Gov. of Arkansas (same as Bill Clinton)

McCain has military experience which right now would be nice to have.

And Hillary, if she ran like her husband did being lead by the polls then yes she would be better than Obama because she'd be closer to center.

Obama was a single term junior Senator and before that he was a "Community Organizer"...he will soon be known as the Affirmative Action President, and he has the gall to call out Clarence Thomas as "lacking experience"....Obama is God awful he's 100% focused on Healthcare and everything else doesn't matter to him, not the economy (he probably welcomes it doing so poorly to get more people on board with the Healthcare bill) and the wars are just a nusance to him. Obama is in waaaaaay over his head and I swear to God if Palin is running against him in 2012 I may just move to the fucking moon.
Obama doesn't need experience running anything because he doesn't have anything to run. Foreign policy, energy policy and "defence" are run by the war and oil and gas industries, the financial system is run by the banks, healthcare by the healthcare corporations....

Out of the choices available to Americans him and Hillary were the least worst options, but there's basically zero difference between Obama and McCain. I can wake up every lunchtime and not have to worry that President McCain has invaded Iran, or re-invaded Vietnam, but other than possibly adding more dumb wars to the existing ones things wouldn't be any different if McCain had won.
