Well, it was Huckabee in ‘08 :)

[Huck]

Yup. Cain has some circumstantial resemblance to Huckabee. The lay of the land is a little different, but Cain is the underfunded insurgent picking up grass roots support in a weak field of RINOs and not-ready-for-prime-timers.

I think Huckabee was a smoother politician than Cain. Very good interpersonally and off the cuff. Puts on just enough airs. But he had a record. That was his problem.

Cain is more brash. It appears he has a high likability factor, always a plus. And he has no record, other than talking on the radio and writing some columns. So he has a much easier task in grabbing the Tea Party vote. He just has to say the right things.
