From: The Arkansas Leader ^ | 10/16/2007 | Editorial

"Mike Huckabee has been a reliable cheerleader for the administration, too, and like each of the others he claims to be the only unswerving champion of conservatism in the field.

"As we have had occasion to observe, that is not exactly his record as governor of Arkansas. He shepherded greater tax hikes into law than any governor in Arkansas history — all for worthy causes, we think — and expanded government services for the poor. If it is a proud record, it is not one that is commonly associated with Republicans....

"From time to time, most often in New Hampshire, Huckabee has betrayed some of the progressive compassion that marked the old liberal camp of the Republican Party...."

I think maybe Mike Huckabee is toast. Sorry.

I agree with you, but I think we should set aside Huckabee’s open borders/nanny-statism for a second and revel in his excellent comments here.
