Over at Reason Dave Weigel is kind enough to name-check both Tabin and I in a post on Huckabee’s much-balleyhooed, rarely questioned likeability. Weigel, per usual, is onto something:
The fact is that reporters really, really like Huckabee. One reason is his general affability but another is something the other GOP candidates can’t steal: His liberalism. Much as reporters want Barack Obama to succeed to diminish the power of more radical black politicians (something I noodled three years ago), I think most (less me) like the idea of a Beliefnet/Michael Gerson big government conservative taking the religious right over from the Bill Bennetts and Pat Robertsons.
