Brownback’s Out. Who’s Helped? – The Fix

It remains to be seen what impact — if any — Brownback’s departure will have. If he simply steps aside and does not endorse a candidate, it seems likely that many people attracted to his pro-family message would naturally migrate to Huckabee’s campaign. Huckabee, despite his own fundraising problems, is showing signs of life in Iowa and could benefit from an influx of former Brownback supporters in the Hawkeye State.

MIKE HUCKABEE: WISHY-WASHY REPUBLICAN, By Richard A. Viguerie

Some voters pining for a principled conservative Republican presidential candidate are pinning their hopes on former governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee. But while Gov. Huckabee stands strong on some issues like abortion that are important to social conservatives, a careful examination of his record as governor reveals that he is just another wishy-washy Republican who enthusiastically promotes big government.

I wonder what a close examination of Duhbya’s governorship revealed. Oh, yeah, a uniter-not-divider, compassionate conservative. I hope conservatives everywhere are weeping and tearing out their hair. mjh
