Another man from Hope
October 26th, 2007John Fund of the Wall Street Journal has a scathing column today about Mike Huckabee.
During a visit to the Journal last spring, Mr. Huckabee joked that one of his biggest challenges is that “like Bill Clinton I hail from Hope, Arkansas, and not every Republican wants to take a chance like that again.” But it’s Mr. Huckabee who is creating the doubts. “He’s just like Bill Clinton in that he practices management by news cycle,” a former top Huckabee aide told me. “As with Clinton there was no long-term planning, just putting out fires on a daily basis. One thing I’ll guarantee is that won’t lead to competent conservative governance.”
UPDATE: Lucas Roebuck has a fine rebuttal of Fund’s column.
Update posted.
I think the rebuttal was well written (and long might I add) and Roebuck new what he was talking about. It is good to have context and a proper one at that.
I would be interested to see if Fund has a follow up to Roebucks rebuttal.
