Perhaps God told him to?
Huckabee: God Wants Me to Be President
Huckabee, the 21st Century Jimmy Carter.
Powerline described him worse than Carter.
"in your guts you know the Huckster is nuts"
Doesn't get much better or succinct.
I think Huckabee is surging simply because he is the only one the Pro Lifers trust. There seems to be a three way civil war going on here in the Republican Party. The Republican Establishment vrs the Libertarian-Small Govt Conservatrives vrs the Social Conservatives.
Both the Small Govt crowd and the Establishment have taken the Social Conservatives for granted. I think they are about to get a really big surprise about just how much weight the "value voters" can add to a candidate's campaign. It going to get really ugly here for us. None of the sides involved here have any notion on how to compromise with the others.
