Liberals kind of sort of like Huckabee

From the left-handed-compliment department, there's an op/ed in today's Des Moines Register (here) about the '08 race with this reference to Mike Huckabee:

"Which is why this column's vote for the most intriguing Republican candidate nobody's heard of goes to ... Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas."

I disagree with a number of the author's conclusions (e.g., he says Al Gore is the most qualified potential Dem candidate), but his perspective seems to demonstrate Huckabee's appeal with so-called "moderates" and some Liberals.
