Huckabee’s problem is not momentum. It is that he has a liberal record on immigration, taxes, and crime, and does not have a good grasp of foreign affairs. Fred Thompson schooled him more than once during the debates.
Huckabee reminds me of the Mayor of Bug Tussle, Amos Hogg (Beverly Hillbillies). Jed and company were mightily impressed by the stolen speeches Mayor Hogg would give. Huckabee regales us with vapid, folksy stories which are supposed to pass for substance. Some might be fooled, but most are not.
Yeah, Fred Thompson sure showed Mike Huckabee something about running for President.
Is he related to Boss Hogg from Hazard County?
