One other thought about Mike Huckabee today.  I looked at his Chuck Norris ad again, and it struck me that once the joke wears off the ad seems to be saying: “here is a list of untrue, ridiculously exaggerated things about Chuck Norris, and here also is a list of untrue, ridiculously exaggerated things about Mike Huckabee.”  The audience will have to conclude that Huckabee is no more conservative than Chuck Norris is superhuman.
