The new conservative columnist for the New York Times is the neo-con, Bill Kristol. At the very moment in history when we face global warming, deficits, competition from China, lethal threats from terrorists, the need to reform health care and education, Kristol lays out his argument why we may need Huckabee:
“Americans — even Republicans! — are ready for a likable regular guy. Huckabee seems to be that. He came up from modest origins. He served as governor of Arkansas for more than a decade. He fought a successful battle against being overweight. These may not be utterly compelling qualifications for the presidency…….”
If these are the qualifications for the Oval Office, then there are about 290 Million other Americans who might also be fit to run for the highest job in the land.
