Mike Huckabee shows that you can win votes simply by being a nice guy and making people laugh, despite having very little funding or a solid platform of radical ideas. At the previous debates, he has made the most people laugh and has been probably the least controversial or confrontational with his other contenders. He has limited his personal attacks to humerous mild jokes about only democrats. This seems to have paid off immensely, it is no surprise that Mitt Romney won, he has raised the most dollars and can afford to bus in the most people. Let us not forget though that the 2nd, 3rd and 4th places were very close with only 626 votes separating 2nd and 4th. That is 626 votes between radical, controversial Tom Tancredo and nice mild mannered Mike Huckabee. Unfortunately, like Bush and McCain, nice guys fail to get much done in the way of the big reforms that the American public are demanding on such things as spending and immigration. I fear that Mike Huckabee would be too nice to cut the programs necessary to reform spending or to enforce immigration law. America needs an aggressive radical Thatcherite personality such as Tom Tancredo to stand up to lobbyists, illegal aliens, education department, government bureaucracies and let us not forget terrorists and their sponsors as well as the Chinese.
Rudy Guiliani has a proven track record of standing tough against criminals and reducing crime, Mike Huckabee does have a great track record of cutting taxes and reforming healthcare in Arkansas, but other than a democratic congress, where were his tough adversaries that he defeated?
