Incidentally, reading The National Review‘s Huckabee profile is a bit of a bizarre experience. We hear, multiple times, that “education and health care are two of Huckabee’s strengths,” but get nothing on his plans or views on either. There are a few words on Iraq, a paragraph on his desire to seal the border, a section on his history with taxes, and an extended recounting of the Wayne DuMond saga, in which a prisoner Huckabee helped free later raped and murdered a woman. The candidate’s general policy views are shunted to the side, either considered unimportant, unhelpful, or uninteresting. Indeed, there’s just about no policy content at all. Do the magazine’s readers not care, or are they being poorly served?
