At least two of my high school classmates have joined the Facebook group "If Mike Huckabee Wins I Will Leave the Country." A bit premature, no?
Meanwhile, it occurred to me: You know which major cultural figure I'd be least surprised to see endorse Huckabee (excluding people already associated with the GOP or religious/political activism)? Gregg Easterbrook. You know it's coming. He'll make some thinly veiled references in his football column.
If his next TMQ has five paragraphs touting a national sales tax (instead of income tax), you heard it here first. If his next column has five paragraphs attacking high CEO salaries... it will be just like 2/3 of his columns anyway.
He probably won't attack abortion or homosexuality, but then I'd have expected his critique of Jews in Hollywood to be a lot less clumsy.
