On Fox News, Huckabee said […]

Fiscal conservatives: Anyone but Huckabee
From HotAir.com
That’s an exaggeration but only a slight one per the dueting pieces this morning from John Fund in the WSJ and Club For Growth president Pat Toomey in NRO.

Huckabee traction might cause problems for Mitt Romney in Iowa
In my eyes, Mike Huckabee is the wrong candidate. He would be another big government Republican — and weak on immigration to boot.

Huckabee Rules Out Third-Party Run
Huckabee says he does not see how a third-party run will help conservatives. Unfortunately, besides simply making a statement to the establishment, he is right. Not enough people are willing to abandon the Republican party in order to truly make a difference for conservatives.
As for Mike Huckabee, this may be his only shot at getting […]
