I obviously disagreed with much of what Mike Huckabee had to say when he was running for president, though at times I found myself wondering why I didn’t dislike him as much as I theoretically should have. These comments today maybe show why I didn’t. Honesty. Pretend you grew up African-American; how would you feel?
“We’ve […]

So McCain wins the GOP nomination - no surprise there -  Obama wins Vermont (ditto) Hillary’s up in Rhode Island,  way up in Ohio and Obama is up in Texas.
Will be interesting to see what Hillary does after tonight, if she loses Texas. My guess is she’ll soldier on, which would be a bad thing […]

Dropping out, sayeth the AP. The last, best hope of conservatives in this race is now gone, and their nemesis - McCain - now wins by default.
McCain-Huckabee, here we come.
This morning I asked some of my conservative e-mailers who they were going to support if Mitt did in fact bail. Two of them said they’ll probably […]

Pretty funny. If you’ve missed it, the institutional right has been panicking about the unmistakable rise of Mike Huckabee, unabashed candidate of the “values voters.” John Cole, former Republican who saw the light, details the backlash here and here, and gets a laugh out of how those (like Rich Lowry at the National Review Online) […]

Hilarious. Romney seems to think his big speech the other day did the trick, defused the idea of his religion as a campaign issue. Huckabee, apparently, isn’t about to let that happen:
Romney, a Mormon, had promised that he would be addressing the subject of his religion a few days later. I asked Huckabee, who describes […]
