Rankings 2.0

For the first time since beginning this blog, I feel it is necessary to update the candidate rankings. Here are the new rankings with previous rankings in parentheses:

1) Mike Huckabee (5)
2) Mitt Romney (1)
3) Rudy Giuliani (2)
4) John McCain (4)
5) Fred Thompson (3)
6) Ron Paul (6)
7) Duncan Hunter (7)
8) Tom Tancredo (8)
9) Alan Keyes (9)

The most glaring change is the upward movement of Huckabee from 5th to 1st. I cannot express the sadness this brings me. The GOP will put the final nail in their coffin if they nominate Huckabee as thousands of fiscal conservatives and social moderates will flock to other parties. How can we vote for a man who has advocated for quarantine of AIDS patients and begged for higher taxes while governor of Arkansas? Doubt the claims that Huck is a fiscal liberal? Watch this...



Well anyway, the other major movement is Fred Thompson's fall from third to fifth. Other than that, the only other movements were Romney's fall from first to second and Giuliani's slide from second to third.
