If everything else is wrong on your chart, punchdrunk, than why would Hunter and Huckabee’s location be correct? That’s right, it isn’t.

Hunter has STELLAR record on tax cuts. Huck stinks

Hunter has a stellar record on foreign policy. Huck sounds like Obama

Hunter adamantly does not want gays in the military. Huckabee thinks its not a “big issue to me”

Hunter is dead set against MFN trading status for China. Huck was a huge cheerleader for it, sending a letter begging congress to pass it.

Hunter wants mirror trade to force our trading partners to get rid of tariffs. Huck has no clue what he is babbling about on trade.

Hunter is the anti nanny-stater. Huck is the nanny.

Hunter does not believe in the global warming farce, Huck wants mandatory cap and trade.

Hunter is despised by the NEA, Huck is a hero

Hunter is a Reaganite, huck is a confused man.

Both are proponents of the exact same "Fair Tax" plan.

That's has been generally true, I'll certainly give you that.
But *uckabee did say that Iranians will "see the gates of hell." He was the most forward-leaning of all candidates in his rhetoric at the last debate in Hunter's absence. I'm sure Duncan was proud.

Hunter adamantly does not want gays in the military. Huckabee thinks its not a “big issue to me”
No, *uckabee wants them on their own island.

Hunter is dead set against MFN trading status for China. Huck was a huge cheerleader for it, sending a letter begging congress to pass it.
He seems to have changed his tune on that now that he's running as a protectionist.

Hunter wants mirror trade to force our trading partners to get rid of tariffs. Huck has no clue what he is babbling about on trade.
That's true too, but *uckabee wants to mirror Hunter on trade, even if he doesn't know what he's saying.

Hunter is the anti nanny-stater. Huck is the nanny.
Can't argue with that.

Hunter does not believe in the global warming farce, Huck wants mandatory cap and trade.
*uckabee is just saying that to make John McCain happy, since he wants to be McCain's VP.

Hunter is despised by the NEA, Huck is a hero
In all honesty, I don't think Hunter even registers as a blip on the NEA's radar. They do love the Huckster though, that's true.

Hunter is a Reaganite, huck is a confused man.
That's sort of empty rhetoric I'd sooner expect from Rudy Giuliani, the Reaganiest 9/11 Reaganite in the race. 9/11.

While of course there are going to be some differences on some issues and on style and focus, overall, when you compare Hunter and *uckabee, you can't help but deny they agree on more issues than either of them agree with any other candidate in the race, and *uckabee continues to move closer to Hunter with each passing week. Close enough that I think Hunter will be satisfied and deliver his delegate(s) to *uckabee.
There is certainly an much better likelihood of that than Hunter delivering his delegate(s) to Fred Thompson or anyone else in the race.
