The ever-reliable Drudge Report says the DNC views Huckabee as “an easy kill” in the general election. Therefore they want him to be the GOP nominee, and will refrain from attacking him in the primary cycle.
Brilliant move, I say. He’s economically liberal and socially conservative, which is the least popular political philosophy in America these days. Then there’s his nanny-statist streak. This bodes well for the Dems. Most people are either liberal or conservative across the board. Recent research says that most of the remainder is consistently anti-government — economically conservative and socially liberal.
The smallest group is Huckabee’s, which is consistently pro-government.
You’re not going to get a candidate endorsement from this blog since I don’t like any of ’em. To be crass, one of my guiding principles is that all politicians are whores (I admit to a few noble exceptions).
I will say that, on the GOP side, I probably agree with Huckabee the least. If he does win the nomination, he deserves an electoral drubbing.
Inertia Wins!
