I've been discussing politics with a very good (albeit very conservative) friend of mine recently. We've been going back-and-forth about who will win the Republican presidential nomination. He thinks that McCain will win. I fear that someone like Rudy or Romney will win the primaries - despite the fact that Senator McCain is more qualified...
However, we both agree that Mike Huckabee is, by far, the most likable candidate out there. I mean, come on - he's in a rock band!
Now, I may not agree with 100% of his positions (his disbelief in evolution, for example) but anyone who uses their power as a state governor to officially pardon two members of the Rolling Stones for misdemeanor crimes committed in the mid-70s can only be described as "cool".
Huckabee even does a Keith Richards impression when re-telling the story. Add several more cool points.
Now, before I get all of the left-wing crazies out there yelling at me for talking positively about a right-wing-Evangelical, I'm not endorsing Huckabee for president. I am simply saying that I think he's pretty neat. If Hillary gets the Democratic nomination, I will take an even more serious look at the Huckster.
