Maybe he's going to defect to the Democrats!

Most of Huckabee's wackjobness were rooted in past mistakes- the stuff about AIDS patients, what he wrote in his books, the whole messes his family gets into- but how much of wackjobness did he manifest during the campaign?  I know he freaked a lot of people out with the "amending the Constitution to fit God's Word" quote, but as far as evolution goes 50% of the country's right up there with him already anyways.

I do agree that he couldn't have won- his party would not let his progressive economics slide, and the independents would not warm up to his religious outspokenness.  I do think if he had somehow miraculously became the candidate that he would have done better with minorities that past Republicans, though only if he wasn't facing against Obama.  He did well with African-Americans when he was running for governor.

BOH-ring.  Even Ron Paul came out with a PAC this year.  Everyone knew that Huck was a likely future presidential candidate.  I was expecting something that no one expected, but I'm bored now.
