...how in the hell does Huckabee do that well in New Jersey?
He is overhyped and oversold. And he has had two years on TV to further perpetuate myths about his own authenticity and conservativism. I hope that someone can expose him for what he is and what he has essentially been doing the last three years.
He gets hardly any mention compared to the other 2012 candidates (especially Palin and Romney) so how is he overhyped?
I don't recall saying anything about media attention.
You mentioned his TV show. How else is he "overhyped" if you didn't mean by the media?
I mean his positive qualities are exaggerated. Whether or not there is an active effort in the media at large to do it, at the present time, is inconsequential.
