    He is either full of ####, or a handful of steps away from Mel Gibson

        OK, your position on him is well noted. If all you're about is posting inane stuff on this thread, please save it.
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              I find the best place to find an idea of what the positions a candidate has (such as they are) is his own website: http://www.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=Issues.Home

                Huckabee, IIRC, has been attacked by other Republican candidates as not being afraid to raise certain taxes. He raised the gas tax in Arkansas for highway construction, for one.

                    His name reminds of of Huckleberry Hound.

                        Well, watch him in a debate. Obviously, he gives the best answers to religious questions (he was a minister before he was a governor). But in general, he's really the only GOP candidate who feels natural. He sounds actually folksy, unlike the usual candidate-pretending-to-be-folksy, he's funny, to the point of self-deprecating humor. His Iowa ad right now is cashing in on the Chuck Norris internet phenomena. His appeal may be overstated when compared to Romney, Huckabee's main rival in Iowa, who shall henceforth be known as robo-candidate.

                          Thank you. I like it because it answers the age old question, what are the dancing bananas actually dancing to?

                              I heard Giuliani the other day answering Tim Russert, and Rudy sounded plenty folksy to me, but then my definition of "folks" is hardly mainstream.

                                The Club for Growth really hates him. That's almost enough to make me forget that he's a religous whackjob (with cookie cutter Republican foreign policy)...
