Once again, I am wrong in a prediction. Huckabee is surging in polls.
I had kind of written him off as being too Arkansas, and too formerly fat.
My early prediction was for Brownback, who I think is rather more telegenic, but is going nowhere.
By way of lame excuse, I did not realize that Brownback was Catholic, which is a big strike against him in the Republican primary.
Additionally, I think that Huckabee's life story has a redemption element, specifically his dropping over 100 pounds and getting in shape.
People love a redemption element, and being morbidly obese is pretty mild as a problem to recover from, compared to something like, bribes, diapers, or men's room pickups.
Of course, the fact that I was wrong about this is one more reason why my making predictions scares me.
