I’m sorry but Mike Huckabee’s sudden rise perplexes me.
Not me, it shows the ignorance of the average so-called conservative voter.
Not me.
He was, in my opinion, far and away the most comfortable, calm and likable of any of the candidates. While I like Fred and support Duncan, objectively Huck is just way more pleasant and a better speaker; I know the Fredheads will have conniption fits at my observation but I think the lack of objectivity is their problem, not mine. Again STRICTLY talking about how the candidate presents himself, nothing at all about policy or positions.
I think even some on DU are worried; huck *IS* likable, and likability counts for a LOT in modern America.
The GOP doesn’t get it. They need to let this faction find a home. The amount of invective aimed at evangelicals is surprising, but then everyone wants their votes.
Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.
Prolife evangelicals will be very comfortable in Hunter’s camp, since he’s a prolife evangelical staunch conservative.
