If the first rule of picking a running mate is to risk as little harm to the ticket as possible, then Mike Huckabee shouldn't be John McCain's first choice for veep--or his second, third, or fourth, for that matter. ...he's also the most unpolished and unpredictable, with a longer list of enemies than any politician so new to the national stage ought to have and a regiment of Arkansas skeletons clattering around in his closet. Few of McCain's potential veeps are so vulnerable to caricature, few would draw so much fire from within the GOP, and few are as easy to imagine lurching cheerfully off-message in the heat of the campaign, alienating a key constituency with an ill-timed gaffe or a badly played attempt at humor.source: The New Republic
hee-hee-hee... The rest of the article is more friendly to Huckster, but it's all under the Huck's a "different kind of Republican" mantra. And in case you didn't see it, Mitt beat Huck in the MSNBC Veepstakes and advanced to the Final Four, which includes Mitt vs Pawlenty and Colin Powell vs Jindal.
Update: Ugh!! Huck joins Fox as political contributor
