tagrynLook, I like Huckabee's populist message, and his FairTax idea of replacing the income tax with consumption taxes is an interesting idea which has some merit (but less than a snowball's chance in hell of passing Congress).
But, to echo Allahpundit, this is just way, way off the reservation:
I also find Hugh Hewitt's infatuation with Mitt Romney a little disappointing in its intensity. OK, Hugh's a GOP partisan and makes no bones about it, but give the supporters of other candidates a little credit for not being total morons, which is pretty much what Hewitt's been calling them.

STUDENT: Recent polls show you surging... What do you attribute this surge to?
HUCKABEE: There's only one explanation for it, and it's not a human one. It's the same power that helped a little boy with two fish and five loaves feed a crowd of five thousand people. (Applause) That's the only way that our campaign can be doing what it's doing. And I'm not being facetious nor am I trying to be trite. There literally are thousands of people across this country who are praying that a little will become much, and it has. And it defies all explanation, it has confounded the pundits. And I'm enjoying every minute of them trying to figure it out, and until they look at it, from a, just experience beyond human, they'll never figure it out. And it's probably just as well. That's honestly why it's happening.
