Huckabee: He could be the "real deal" By Michael Medved
The more I think about Mike Huckabee’s stunning 18% showing at the Iowa straw poll the more I’m persuaded that he could be the exciting, unifying conservative standard bearer the GOP base has been craving.
Forget about Fred Thompson--- his long delay in entering the race makes him look increasingly like the Mario Cuomo of the Republican Party. Remember when the New York Governor dithered endlessly about announcing his candidacy in 1992? At the time, he seemed to be trying out a new slogan: “A Mind is a terrible thing…. To make Up.” As an actor, Fred Thompson might like to take a crack at playing Hamlet, but the indecision bit doesn’t work well for a Presidential contender.

Mike comes across pretty good, but there is still that immigration stance and his ties with teachers union.These are pills hard to swallow. It will be interesting to see how he handles this without craw fishing.
What will really show his true character is the courage he shows about his faith, if he should become a serious contender and the press really starts to hammer him in this area.
One little cringe by him will be curtains among evangelicals.
