He Won't Be Touting This One...

As Mike Huckabee completes his campaigning blitz leading up to the Iowa caucuses, I don't think he'll be stumping on this endorsement:

Since he is running in the Republican primaries for president, don’t expect Mike Huckabee to be advertising the strong endorsement he just got from Ted Strickland, Ohio’s Democratic governor.

It seems Mr. Strickland, who typically racked up a 95% rating from the liberal Americans for Democratic Action durng his 16 years in Congress, has discovered a kindred spirit in Mr. Huckabee. He told the Cincinnati Enquirer last Sunday that “he’s the kind of combination of conservative views in some ways, but very, almost liberal views in other ways.” He concluded that “of all the ;Republican candidates, Mr. Huckabee would be my personal choice.”


Can Huckabee really claim to be an authentic conservative when a even a left-wing governor finds the Huckster's views to be "almost liberal"?
