Yes it is time that the truth be told on this front.

We keep being told by our angry paleocons that they know best about the “Huckster”

Personally, I would like to win the election in 2008. Yes, Huckabee is rhetorically shrewd. It is infuriating that we have to pick the new Reagan based on who is the most brazen candidate and unworkable with the media.

Huckabee is far more conservative than the FR community has allowed. So little debate is directed at his stated positions.

I think people fool themselves here when they discount Huckabee’s electability. He had a mediocre budget and fantastic results in the voting booth. He played the press very well, getting good interviews, quotes, photo ops, and the attack ad played without his specific endorsement.

I believe the press is far more in favor of Mitt Romney, treating his religion with kid-gloves (until the general election), than Huckabee, where a bookshelf made headlines for its shape, and MSM debate questions often focus on difficult questions with Christianity, and there is no focus on difficult questions with Mormonism.
