Hey folks, I'm back after being quite busy the past two weeks. I thought I would resume my series of VP Options. As you may recall, previously I examined both Condi Rice and Mitt Romney. I was going to review Fred Thompson next, but with Fred taking his name out of consideration, I won't do that. So, the next person I thought I would examine is Mike Huckabee.

I'm no fan of Huckabee myself, but here are some of his positives. He is the former Governor of an important must-win state, Arkansas. He is personally likeable. He ran a tough race on a low budget. He is certainly solid on most social issues, and would help with evangelicals.

The negatives are that his record is quite spotty, and that with conservatives as a whole, he's not inspiring. His record on accepting gifts and with criminals is full of holes that ObamaClinton could easily exploit. Word is that the most common phrase used in Arkansas prisons during Huckabee's term was "Pardon Me."

That said, he remains an option and must be discussed.
