Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Huck-a-Whack
I'm prepared to take Christmas Day off, not sure about hb.
But this is Christmas Eve, and Larry Kudlow has shared some thoughts on Governor Huckabee which closely match my own:
[W]hen I had Governor Huckabee on, what was it, last week or the week before, I had a bout with him. I went at it. He wants to, if need be, have government regulate salaries. I think he’s crazy. I don’t think he understands the free market business system. He’s not good on taxing, he’s not good on spending, he’s not good on free trade. In other words, all the prosperity factors seem to be Mr. Huckabee’s weakness. I don’t think he understands it. He’s just out of tune with all measures of free market, supply side economics. You know, it isn’t his religion, and I admire his religion. I personally am a man of faith. I regard myself as an Evangelical, the fact is. But it’s not his religion, it’s his positions. Condi Rice came out of the State Department. Hell, I haven’t seen her in about a month or two. She came out and attacked him because of his [naiveté] on dealing in international affairs with Iran and others. He doesn’t seem to understand power politics, and that we are in a jihadist global war.
Other than that... 2008 Race Posted by jk at December 24, 2007 12:01 AM
And the worst that can be said of Fred! is being President of the United States isn't his life's ambition. Well, the worst thing a *conservative* can say, anyway.

Seriously, I have liked a lot of Senator Thompson's positions and would be very happy to call him "My President Fred!" The question becomes, if we give him the GOP nomination, will he give his all to winning the general?
A lazy President would rock -- a lazy candidate, not so much...
