Huckabee

I was reading an article the other day about Mike Huckabee's climbing poll numbers and it made me think of a few things. Firstly, the article said that Romney has increased his leads in Iowa and New Hampshire, which is good news. But secondly, it made me realize that Huckabee would prove an attractive vice presidential candidate. Sadly, he has no shot at the presidency because he has no money, but he's very personable and has made a great impression on voters so far at debates and speeches. He's funny, often stopping a speech to go into a segment jokes, and he would calm the fears of many of the skeptical evangelists. He's also more moderate than the other candidates. His extremely strong voice on social issues sometimes overshadows the fact that he often favors raising taxes to aid the poor and support education. I don't necessarily agree with all of that, but it might attract some moderates that would otherwise be turned away.

Romney-Huckabee '08 anyone?
