The continuing Huckaboom

Meanwhile, besides Hillary's continued slippage, another political trend showing itself today is Mike Huckabee's continuing polling surge in the Republican race. Captain Ed rounds it up well here.

Perhaps the Huckabee surge is a case of evangelical conservatives in the Republican Party believing they've found their candidate.

If so, as the Captain also notes, I think these Republicans should think again. No question, Mr. Huckabee's an evangelical. But is he also a conservative? His past views on taxes, spending, and immigration raise questions.
