[Huckabee] sometimes alleges that “Wall Street types are afraid to death of a guy like me,” but to date he has given them no reason to feel any such thing.
Janine Parry, a professor of political science at the University of Arkansas who has studied Mr. Huckabee’s record and his campaign, said that “Nothing in his platform is very much of a threat to economic conservatives, certainly not his tax plan.”
If anything, she said, she has marveled at how smoothly right-ward his campaign has tacked. “In his heart of hearts I think he is just slightly right of center. He doesn’t want to soak the rich, but he’s from a state with a lot of poor people, so he doesn’t want to soak them either. He’s pragmatic. I would be surprised in fact if some of what he is saying now he doesn’t abandon after the primary season as a little more regressive than he really is.”
Which, if true, may be just what the panic is all about.
Why do the Ficons hate Huckabee? He doesn't seem like a huge threat to them (unlike Hillary Clinton). I think the main reason the Ficons don't like Huckabee is quite simple: he's not their guy.
