I Fear Huckabee.

I have been hesitant to say it, but the one that scares me the most is Huckabee. All the rest I imagine as beatable by a well run campaign funded by equal dollars.

The rest of the field have qualities that will keep the religious crowd either apathetic enough not to vote or maybe even flippable for the democratic candidate. In addition, they don't speak at all convincingly about protecting the little guy, the middle class, the underprivileged. Even the dems have problems getting these ideas, their ideas, across.

So preacher Huckabee, the man who will give lip service to populist ideals without doing it, might be problematic to the next 20 years of progressive democratic rule.

Too bad their leaders want a war-monger.
