I have to say that, while I disagree with Mike Huckabee about almost everything, he is a good debater. He’s witty, and quick on his feet.

Unfortunately (and I don’t have a solution to this problem–it’s endemic to a republic) the qualities that are necessary to win the presidency are not necessarily those necessary to be an effective or good president. Bill Clinton is one of the most notable examples of this. Sadly, and conversely, Fred Thompson may be as well, though ironically, if he never becomes president, we’ll never get a chance to find out…
