Huckabee's probably the closest thing the GOP has to creating some sort of working coalition right now. The GOP needs to find a way to hold onto evangelicals while simultaneously attracting racial minorities (i.e. latinos).
he would get absolutely demolished in middle/upper income suburbs and urban areas. if you think McCain losing DuPage was a telling development, wait to see what would happen to Huck. I'm not buying that the Hispanics would flock to him either. why? because he likes Jesus too?
He epitomizes "compassionate conservatism," and thus at least stands more of a chance with hispanics than anyone else. As far as upper/middle income suburbanites go, their voting values are more shallow than you think. As soon as prosperity returns we'll see their traditional myopia set in, with a full return to commercialism and isolationism (and thus the GOP).
