There were 4 things, above and beyond Huck being a Baptist that won Hunter’s endoresment.

1) Huck came out with a strict ‘no amnesty’ plan. And fully (and conveniently) supported Hunter’s Border Fence bill.

2) Huck was a fellow promoter of the FairTax

3) Huck bought into Hunter’s call to re-industrialize America.

4) Huck was nearly Hunter’s equal in opposing abortion and supporting the 2A.

The problem, as you and I recognize, is that much like Flip Romney, Huck’s new found positions on some of these issues was directly in contradiction to his mealy mouthed record as guv. And unlike Hunter, we don’t trust Huck not to blow with the prevailing winds.

Hunter was stuck choosing between Amnesty Juan, snake oil Huck, China apologist Flip “ewww -evil assault weapons” Romney, abortionist Rudy, and the Stalking Horse. He should have refrained from any endorsement, frankly. But it is what it is.

Right now I don’t see ANYONE else out there doing what Hunter is doing for the 2010 race.

..you are right on those points about common ground between Huck and DH—they shared a lot, but Huck was still to the left of even GWB...

Those are pretty much the exact reasons I gave when I predicted Hunter would endorse Huckleberry.
And yet at the time, you said I was dead wrong.
