But how is Huckabee on the issues of illegal immigration and border security?

What will the Dems use to hit the Repub candidate over the head? Try...
Iraqi quagmire
Nationalized Health Care
The economy (sub-prime mess, unemployment, etc)
History making, first Female/Black candidate
(These are some pretty big clubs.)

What have we got to hit back? Try...
Victory in Iraq (still pending) kick Islamofascist butt where ever it resides.
Lower taxes (not permanent yet, dump the AMT)
Smaller government (oops)
No Amnesty- seal the border yesterday
The Right To Keep And Bear Arms
Pro-life, anti-Gay agenda.
Just say No to dynasties
Rallying speeches do not, a president make.

Whoever gets the nomination will have a real fight on their hands. They'd better be able to utilize each of these 'clubs' effectively. To borrow from a Golf analogy, we'll need a Tiger Woods from the tee to green this time around. Which of our guys will look best in a green jacket?
