Yglesias Award Nominee
"I should register here that I basically agree with this, in the sense that Huck's populism has seemed more like a rhetorical pose than anything of substance. I should note, though, that I read something earlier this week on The Hotline -- and I can't find the link this morning, so you'll just have to trust me -- saying that as Arkansas governor, Huckabee showed a penchant for distrusting centralized power. If true, that's something. But no, I don't think Huckabee is a populist in any sense that Larison and Caleb (Stegall) would recognize. His rhetoric to that extent is largely therapeutic, giving people the satisfaction of populist feeling (and believe me, I've enjoyed it) without the real thing," - Rod Dreher, Crunchy Con.
