Mike Huckabee is the DMN’s presidential pick

By Jonathan Williams

The Dallas Morning News editorial board announced today that it endorses Mike Huckabee for the Republican presidential nomination.

“I’m a conservative,” he likes to say. “I’m just not mad about it.” Along those lines, what sold us on Mr. Huckabee is a sense that of all the Republicans, he is the change agent the nation most needs. John McCain, whose candidacy is quite appealing despite concern about his age and temperament, was arguably that man once. But his moment has passed.

 

America needs a clean break from the bitter politics of the recent past. From the right, Mike Huckabee, a progressive conservative with a pastor’s heart, can deliver.
