How can we tell? The MSM has its first “the whole truth” profile story on him.
First, a general comment on my part. Being a governor is the current favored way to run for the presidency. Unlike in the Senate, you get to claim an executive record, leadership, etc.
Problem is, when you’re a Mike Huckabee and have been guv for more than a decade, you’ve got plenty of flip side record too.
Reducing the sentence of a rapist and getting him out on parole can make you weak in the eyes of “tough on crime” Republicans.
Accepting a number of gifts while in office can taint you amongst the few GOPers who might actually have an ethics backbone.
You also can develop history of flip-flopping, as Huckabee appears to have done in illegal immigration. Of course, he’s not alone. Democrats, in general, haven’t taken a stance on this issue of any strength in the first place, and with the exception of Tom Tancredo, most Republicans have done a mix of flip-flopping and straddling.
