An editorial in yesterday's Wall St.
Journal had a description of Huckabee that I found pretty interesting:
- Some say Mr. Huckabee is the tribune of the "religious left," and that strikes us as about right. He exhibits protectionist instincts, distancing himself from Nafta and saying he would insist on penalties and barriers to countries that don't support his conception of "fair trade." He delivers populist sermons against income inequality, but in favor of farm subsidies and an expanded government role in health care. He regularly knocks Wall Street, and he borrows from the Democratic playbook with digs at "the rich." Mr. Huckabee has [a] mixed tax and spending record during his decade in Little Rock. The Club for Growth has documented that record, with prejudice.
