Mike Huckabee: November 5, 2007
There always has to be the best of the worst in any competition, and
when it comes to the Republican Presidential Primary, the award goes to

four candidates battling at the top, and Huckabee is the man that

Finally! After months of pursuing the idea of running for president,
Fred Thompson made it official early this month. For those not familiar
with Fred Thompson, he’s the former Republican Tennessee Senator that

and he’s an alumnus of Vanderbilt Law School. Wait, it gets better -
he’s a smooth talking actor. Rather than making his announcement during
the Fox News GOP debate, he skipped it entirely, only airing an ad
shortly before the debate began. In a move unique to Thompson’s style,
he announced his candidacy on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Here at Torch Headquarters, Mitt Romney is fondly known as Hott Mitt. Anybody who owns that much cashmere deserves the coordinated glory of the double-double Ts. 'Hott Mitt' also encapsulates his finer attributes: the strong jaw, the perfectly tailored suits, and the wonderful Reagan Hair. It's easiest to remember like this:
Man,
I'd
Tap
That.
An acrostic poem that uncovers the true depth and breadth of the human spirit, right?
