Huckaveep?

This is worth reading: Huck Yeah. Ross Douthat argues for Huckabee's place on McCain's ticket as a way to start the inevitable post-election GOP infighting before the GOP actually loses this fall.

It's been pretty obvious for a while now (at least since 2004) that the future of the GOP is as some sort of "Christian Democrat" party. They'll need to move left in order to make up for the declining demographics of their constituency, and the party's southern base will force the move on economic issues, rather than foreign policy or social issues.

Or to put it another way, while Mike Huckabee is too flawed a candidate to ever become President, some form of Huckabeeism will lead the GOP out of the post-Bush wilderness.
