McCain dabbled into Huckabee’s “businesses shouldn’t be allowed to fire people” schtick.

I've noticed a split in rhetoric among the Republican candidates throughout this campaign, between the pro-business Romney, Giuliani, and Thompson, and populists like Huckabee, McCain, and Hunter.

It's not so much that their policies break along those lines, but their rhetoric certainly has. That split in rhetoric has certainly been seen on this forum as well.

I'm worried that this is indicative of a fissure forming within the Republican party and the conservative movement as a whole, one that's much deeper than any split between the three "Reagan coalition" factions.
