From the Union Leader-Huckabee vs. Richardson Would be a Dream Presidential Contest

From the Union Leader in New Hampshire. David Broder writes that Huckabee vs. Richardson would be a dream Presidential contest. Beginning paragraph, "THE LIVELIEST pair of candidates in the large fields of Democratic and Republican long shots, Bill Richardson and Mike Huckabee, are also -- not coincidentally -- the likeliest to break through into the top ranks of their parties if anyone ever does."

Some good things Mr. Broder says about Mike Huckabee.

"...Richardson and Huckabee communicate a good-humored enjoyment of the chase that is as refreshing as it is rare."

"Nonetheless, the early going has shown Huckabee and Richardson poking their heads above the others who are striving to break out of the second tier -- seven of them on the GOP side, five on the Democratic."

"Huckabee has been the source of some of the best lines at the two Republican debates, including his comment that Congress has 'spent money like John Edwards at a beauty shop.'"

"He is a good-natured fundamentalist, both in his religious values (a Baptist preacher before he entered politics) and in his basic conservatism. But he has an independent streak. He has the guts to call Alberto Gonzales an embarrassment to the administration and, at home, he defied the legislature in a losing battle to allow the children of illegal immigrants, when they graduated from an Arkansas high school, to go to college for the same tuition paid by other state residents. And he advocates a radical overhaul of the tax system, abolishing all federal levies in favor of a retail sales tax with progressive protections for the poor."


He also says of Mike "Huckabee is hurting for money and still searching for an early-voting state where he can plant his flag. He may never find it, but given the question marks hanging over the three Republican front-runners, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney, there could be room for him."
Yes, the money thing. Currently Mike doesn't have the money to bombard the people with advertising. That's where the grassrooters come in. All the Huckabee supporters need to do everything we can for him, whether it be through blogging, financial support or telling as many friends as possible about him.

Yes, there are question marks over the three biggies. There are no question marks lingering over Mike Huckabee. He is who he is, and that's a good thing!
