I was impressed earlier when I heard about Mike Huckabee's surprisingly compassionate views on prison reform, and how the Club for Growth hated him for raising taxes in Arkansas. But it wasn't until this week that I gazed upon the full horror of his social issue positions -- total opposition to abortion and to any government support for contraception. And the FairTax nuttery is sufficient to cancel out whatever points I'm going to give him for his history of raising taxes in Arkansas.
I'm back to seeing Romney as the least poisonous president in the GOP field, simply because he's unprincipled enough to not try anything ambitious.
