Sometimes I think Mike Huckabee doesn’t think through the ramifications of what he says. Jonathan Adler notes, and Jawa Report spotlights this bit from a Huckabee interview on NPR, about those push polls on his behalf:

I personally wish that all of this was outlawed. I think that every candidates should speak for themselves, and that every thing that involves the candidate’s name or another candidate’s name should be authorized and approved by that candidate, otherwise it shouldn’t be spoken….

Now, I had wanted Huckabee to denounce the calls loudly and with some emotion, so I guess this fits that bill. But if Huckabee’s suggestion is serious, he’s saying that he literally wants to regulate speech. (I know the word “literally” is often used, but it fits here.)

My co-blogger on another site is now asking, “where do I sign up to defeat Mike Huckabee?”
