Huckster
Lately, Mike Huckabee's been on the rise. He on top in Iowa and some see him as a first-tier candidate, up there with Mitt and Rudy, ahead of McCain and Thompson.
There are a number of reasons to explain this uptick, but I don't care. I find him the worst of the major Republican candidates. For one thing, he's a nanny-stater. For another, he's not a fan of free trade.
A little while ago I said I couldn't vote for John Edwards. Well, add Huckabee to the list. (Now watch--it'll be Edwards versus Huckabee. Hey, I've gone third-party before.)

Huckabee is a useful idiot who will help split the vote of the supernaturalist ideologues.
Edwards could play a similar role on the other side though the base he appeals to is nowhere near as powerful (one cause is that the last 8 years have de facto made the Dems the bigger tent).
Huckabee is not splitting anything. He's in the lead and has support from the conservative base.
