I think on foreign issues, it’s less that he is flip-flopping, and more that he is so ill-informed that he follows the advice of the last person who spoke to him. When in doubt, he repeats the NYT editorial page.
Seriously, watch these two videos. One of them presents Mitt Romney speaking on foreign policy and the other Mike Huckabee. Look at the differences in their approaches:

Mitt

What you see is Huckabee trying to apply the Golden Rule towards Iran and talking about what we have to offer them. On the other hand, you have Romney slamming John Edwards and Hillary Clinton for going down the exact same course.
Huckabee is horribly naive at points. And between his little athetlic boys and OJ Simpson and his so-called “black and white theology,” you see some pretty mangled policy statements.
I don’t even care if you’re a Mitt fan or not. It’s blatantly obvious who is more capable.
