Huckabee, who is unacceptable to economic conservatives.

I consider myself an economic conservative of the Adam Smith, Abraham Lincoln tradition -- and Mike Huckabee, too.

If by "economic conservative," Novak means Hamiltonian aristocrat, or revisionist Randite, he should define his terms much, much better.

Or, does he mean anti-American globalist?

Maybe all of the above.

Don’t knpw about Huckabee, but I agree about Lincoln. BTW, History has its ironies. His party kept doing him a favor by failing to give him or win him high office after 1848. They kept bumping him up to the highest executive office. Obama probably seems himself in that light.
