Huckabee - "Believe"
Monday November 26, 2007
I am beginning to wonder if Mike Huckabee is the Republican Barack Obama. Obama's appeal is based, in no small part, on his optimism, on the sense of hope that he offers. He doesn't come across as a jaded pol....

I really didn't like it either. My brother knew Huckabee years ago and recalls both his faith and his huge ambition. I suppose those two can go together at times. I liked him more last week when he hadn't made a couple of nutsy comments. On the other hand, I liked Obama more last week too. He does seems to be pulling it all together well in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Looking for somebody "this" week. An Obama - Huckabee race would be interesting to say the least.
As you said, David, I get the politics but the ad only promises rhetoric. Nota bene, the ad promises that we hold clear values we won't sacrifice and doesn't name them. It's almost a promise that Huckabee will be a typical politician.
It's just one ad. It's honesty. Something so many people no longer know how to deal with.
David,
Why not give this guy a call and help him out?
Let's hope Huckabee doesn't believe in silencing dissent like so many other political players.
If they improbably both became the nominees, I could see them getting together for a Lincoln/Douglas (or, as rumored before the assassination, JFK/Goldwater) type barnstorming around the country.
Larry, I know this shows bias, but if the two parties nominate Huckabee or McCain and Obama or Biden, they are much healthier institutions than I think they are. Romney, Giuliani, Clinton and Edwards for whatever they're right about are demagogues and pandars. The fact that the latter are 4 of the top five candidates confirms for me what I've suspected: That Americans generally want a healthy, prosperous and moral nation but partisans are satisfied to be congratulated on their wisdom.
Had a problem with YouTube over the weekend ...
David's right about the commercial, I think. It's like Huckabee's trying to be angry because some political consultant told him it will play well, but it's not in his nature. So it comes across half-hearted.
IMO, I would like to see political candidates stop listening to their consultants about what 'sells'. It's so demoralizing and it ends up with everyone seeing the other side as a charactiture [sp] instead of the multi-dimensional people that they are.
