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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.

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.)

What is the plural of the word "gas"?
Gases
Eta: it looks wrong now, but I think it's right.

I knew that would be a X-post

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.
