Jim Pethokoukis says a top fundraiser for John McCain is putting Mike Huckabee at the top of McCain's VP shortlist. Pethokoukis says that "Economic conservatives and supply-siders may balk, but the threat of four years of Obamanomics and higher investment, income, and corporate taxes might be enough to keep them on board." But it was not just economic conservatives who had problems with Huckabee, but across the board conservatives who thought Huckabee looked more like a social conservative Democrat than anything else. The list of Huckabee detractors was very long, and you can count on all of these folks to protest if Huck starts looking like a real possibility.
