The Anbar experience is likely not exportable to Baghdad or to heavily Shiite provinces. The Mahdi army is not like AlQaeda. The other question to ponder is whether the Anbar experience is sustainable. So many of our alliances of convenience have turned out badly, and the developments in this case need to be carefully monitored.

From everything I've read about Huckabee, his views are very much aligned with the RR, but he's just not a jerk about it; he seems to largely avoid inflammatory, hurtful language. Of course, as soon as I write that, someone will probably identify an exception or two to the rule. Krit — I think perhaps you’re right, on both counts.

Probably Huckabee isn't enough of a flame-thrower on the issue of gay marriage for Dobson's taste. Maybe if Dobson and his ilk would back Mike Huckabee, he’d have a chance of winning the nomination.
