Why do you say that?

You know the point, dano1 - there are a lot of conservatives who have become reactionary over the immigration issue. Huckabee will need to defend his position on this subject, but I think that he will have the ability to give a measured response to his critics. The immigrants are not leaving, and we will end up revisiting the Bush policy on this issue no matter who wins; he has not said he wanted a no-questions-asked / everybody-is-in-today program. We need security, but the Mexicans are not our enemies.

As you know, this is an idea guy; he thinks things through and he is good at articulating his ideas. He is also the most populist of the current batch; he will pull some independent votes in. Can he defeat Hillary; I don’t know if any GOP candidate can. But I think that he will stand in very stark contrast to her over-packaged appearance, and he will not have to run back to the center to be elected because he already relayed a lot of his thoughts.

My feeling is that if he is the nominee, he will have a chance to make things happen, and it will be money from small donors and principled conservatives that gets him going. And, flame away if you want, but I have no problem seeing him tackle the CEO cash-rapists on, either...
