I don't agree with Huckabee on very much, but I respect him and am less scared by him than I am the rest of the GOP field. I mean, I think most of his views are wrong-headed, but I believe he's sincere and well-intentioned in his wrong-headedness. Giuliani is the one who scares me most, because he seems at least as dictatorially inclined as Bush and twice as smart.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think Huckabee is exactly what he seems. Which is the religious-right/social conservative candidate -- but he's not presenting himself as something he isn't.
Giuliani is the one who scares me most, because he seems at least as dictatorially inclined as Bush and twice as smart.
Give the dude some credit. You've only upped his intelligence to "small domestic pet" level, there.
(And in case it's not clear - agreed. He's a scary, scary man, with much greater chances than the Ron Pauls of the world.)

Gases

That's my problem. Apparently both gases and gasses are acceptable, but I'm wondering if one of them is a UK spelling.

What is the plural of the word "gas"?
Depends on which gas. The one at the pump is already a mass noun. Otherwise, in chemistry class, you deal with gases.
ETA: Gases looks wrong because other forms use two "s"s--gassed, gassing.

Yeah, that's the meaning I'm dealing with. Gases it is. (But it still looks weird.)

That is my primary concern about Giuliani, and I haven't heard anything from New Yorkistas to counter it. I don't really find Romney or McCain scary. I'd be concerned that Thompson would be too hawkish.
