Good, because the first sentence was the main point, followed by examples to drive the point home.
The biggest problem with those that would demonize Huckabee is the documented fact that he was enormously popular with conservatives and especially with freepers when he was actually IN office. Thus, their modern revisionize about his "liberal record" has much crediblity as the RATs who whine about how Bush "lied" about WMDs when they were all for taking out Saddem's "WMDs" long before Bush even brought up the subject.
You'd think after all this time they'd realize that constantly referring to Huckabee as a "socialist" is not helping their idol Fred Thompson out of his 5th place showing in the polls. Oh well.
If only the RATs were as shallow as Huckabee's detractors, we could win this election easily.
