Those interested should read the whole article which contains more about Huckabee. The Christian Science Monitor is one of those papers from which we aren't able to post entire articles. However I thought the article gave a fairly balanced view of Huckable. I agree with you, (I think), that certainly Huckabee has some "compassionate conservative" leanings, although IMHO he is far from a Democrat.
Huckabee is certainly getting a lot of free media lately. This article really seemed like Huckabee 101 for the Christian Science Monitor readers.
“certainly Huckabee has some “compassionate conservative” leanings”
IOW, pro-life, pro-gun liberal.
