Despite these shortcomings, I believe Huckabee will win the Republican nomination, if only because he is like Charlie Bucket in Roald Dahl’s book, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:” There is nothing particularly spectacular about him, but the rest of the children vying for the grand prize are too insufferable to ever be chosen.
