As you know, I troll the blog sites daily looking at all the hubbub concerning Election ’08. It’s fun to see all the witty commentary, spin and conspiracy theories that are out there. Admittedly, I spend most of my time on the Republican side, since it is way too early to worry about end-game election strategy. What has been truly entertaining is seeing all the clever nicknames that people have devised for the candidates they don’t like. I’ve compiled a little list of the best ones. As you can see below, some names yield themselves easily to witty alliterations. You can slap “Hucka-“ or “Mc-“ in front of any word you don’t like to disparage McCain or Huckabee. Pretty unfortunate for them. My personal favorite was a combination of the two. I saw this a few weeks ago after one of the debates where Romney was tag-teamed by McCain and Huckabee. One clever blogger called them “Mac & Cheese” in reference to McCain’s attacks and Huckabee’s cheesy one liners. I laughed for 20 minutes over that one. Anyway, here’s the list. Feel free to add your own:
McCain: Juan McAmnesty, McCManiac, McChicken Hawk
Huckabee: Hucklebuck, Huckleberry, Upchuckabee, Hickabee, Huckabaptist
Romney: Mittster, Rombot, Mittbot, Ken Doll, Mitt Flopper, Mittster Plastic.
Giuliani: Rude-y

Have you heard about the "mittens"? I think I might be one.
Good one! I've heard Mitt referred to in that way, and I've also seen it as a reference to Michigan- the Big Mitten. I'll add it to the list...
Actually I was referring to the women who are smitten with Mitt, Rush calls them "mittens".
Oh- sorry for the misunderstanding. Shannon mentioned that she heard that one on Rush. Should've made the connection.
By the way, my Mom thinks Mitt is hot. That's so weird to me.
