Now let's not get down on Huckabee for this. Remember he didn't major in Math (is 1/4 of a tank less than 3/4 of a tank?), he majored in Miracles. I'm sure that gas will be delivered to you by a Sweet Chariot any moment now. You must have faith my son!

Actually, Debbie, assuming they are expecting the acronym to be pronounced "Triple A" it's acceptable as is. Also, considering the shorthand used in the previous paragraph, it seems unlikely that they give a crap, which is why they are political writers, not grammarians. Give 'em a break. Or gas. Whichever.

I think it actually gains points with conservatives to strand the news media on the side of the road, so maybe that's what he's up to.

In all seriousness, though, the two candidates who have been the greatest disappointment in managing financial resources have been John McCain and Hillary Clinton. Anyone who thinks these people are going to turn our economy around after the way they have squandered millions of dollars in wasteful campaign spending is a fool.

Does anybody else feel like the world would be an infinitely better place if ALL media people got stranded somewhere or the other, and NEVER came back. At least we would not have to hear the asisnine comments and commentary that they come up with - blackberry or no blackberry.

Stay stranded a while longer John Boxley - we are enjoying our peace.

Actually, if you read "AAA" as "Triple A," which is how the organization says it, then "a AAA card" is grammatically correct.

NO, Huckabee isn't praying for more gas--he is praying for his nomination, and he only gets one miracle a year.

RobertGrammarQueen, San Francisco — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 16:39:42 GMT

Actually, he got it right. It's "a AAA card" because most people refer to the company as "Triple A" not "A-A-A". So while he wrote, "AAA," he understood that most would read, "Triple A." And, of course, you wouldn't say "an Triple A card".

I consider myself a very conservative, family oriented, morally conscious, value based person that wells up emotionally at the thought of the American flag.
I am a Mormon mother of five that daily strives to teach my children right from wrong. I have voted in every election since I was old enough to do so. Never did it cross my mind to vote or not to vote for a particular candidate because he was this faith or that. I am just one of millions that have been stoned throughout this election by so called "Christians".
In the country I love, how do I vote? For a man of God that publicly twists truths and bears false witness against what is most sacred to me? In my ears that thunders over anything else he and his supports claims to stand for.
Yesterday I prayed to overcome my hard feelings toward Huckabee, I felt drawn to his website to learn more about him. What I found linked there was more lies and insult directed at Mormons. To me this is the ultimate hypocrisy.
Our Savior tells us to love our neighbor, yet you spread hate and lies.
I was apprehensive to support Romney before I got to know him, because I believe a man who has roots in his faith, but does not live it, is by far more dangerous than a man with shallow or little root in Religion.
Huckabee has roots, deep roots. My fear is that they are rotten to the core. A man can draw close and have the appearance of God with his lips, but his heart be far from the Lord. A true man of God would have Charity toward all his fellow beings, and is humble to the fact that he may not have a perfect understanding of all things. Finding common ground and a desire to understand another's heart.
Where is a conscience that draws one to feel remorse for cruelly hurting another?
I believe in complete separation of Church and State, Romney did not blur this, Huckabee has used his Church as a pedestal and taken away the peace in which to live our chosen Religion freely.
As I feel at this moment, I could vote for anyone but him.
Sorry for the ramble, I jsut felt the need to express my hurt and frustration.
