Mutually Assured Mass Economic Destruction
To paraphrase Bob Novak, early in the Bush tenure, "We need to run this economy for the benefit of the business community, and not to satisfy a bunch of liberal stockpickers." Bush didn't follow that advice, or any established Conservative wisdom. Lately there is a lingering criticism of Bob Rubin, and the Clinton policies, which laid the foundation for the bubble economy, the global trade imbalances, and economic equivalent of MADD. The Democrats will be running away from their record before this is over.
Huckabee is a juggler, capable of finding disparate threads and weaving them together. He is also capable of tailoring a message. Most people who voted for Bush feel betrayed. If Huckabee starts talking out of all three sides of his mouth at the same time, his star will fade.
