I mean, I understand how it started; he's charismatic, funny, personable, and knows (from years as a minister) how to work a crowd. But, when you start hearing his beliefs and opinions on things, it's clear that he's a extra crispy bucket of crazy (™ The Stephanie Miller Show).

Ultimately, this could be the best thing Democrats could wish for. If Huckabee wins the Republican nomination, there are a lot of things that will become very public that will be difficult for him to overcome. It's easy to "slime" somebody when all of the slime is true. . .
