I’m going to sidestep some of the questions raised here, not because they’re not interesting but because Rich will get mad if I don’t finish an article that’s due today. I don’t think it is at all likely that Huckabee will get the nomination. But just thinking out loud: I wonder if the way to improve his chances is not to make peace with hawks and supply-siders but rather to try to appeal to, say, Catholic Republicans who share his social conservatism and less-than-pure economic conservatism. I think the narrow demographic basis of his appeal is much more limiting than his unorthodoxies.
