Mike Huckabee would never have been successful in Arkansas as a hard-core conservative. Of course he worked with Democrats! Have you looked at the reality of Arkansas politics?

As a matter of fact, George W. Bush worked with Democrats in Texas and certainly has as President.

What Huckabee is saying is that Fred Thompson is as conciliatory with respect to politics as is Huckabee. That is, in fact, the nature of practical politics in a country so evenly divided between left and right.

An unbending arch-conservative will not be successful as President and Huckabee knows it just as George W. Bush does.

Huckabee is not a pure, hard-core conservative on all the issues which is exactly why he might be elected President.

Fred Thompson would not be as hard core a conservative running in the general election as most astute observers know

You nailed it!

So if we don’t agree with you we’re not astute eh?...:)

There’s a difference...working with Democrats to help pass Conservative interests, and working with Democrats to pass Liberal interests...

It is crystal clear which one Mitten Luther and the GUBERnator were engaged in.

Huckabee is not a pure, hard-core conservative on all the issues

That's the understatement of the year.
