Huckabee in the future

He walked away with a big consolation prize: Huckabee is considered by many to be the face of a new, nicer Republicanism.

"His good-natured approach to politics - `I'm a conservative; I'm just not mad about it,' as he likes to say - is quite appealing after years of scorched-earth tactics from both parties," The Dallas Morning News, which endorsed him, wrote in an editorial on Monday.

"True, a Huckabee vote today won't do much to determine the 2008 GOP presidential candidate. But it's a good investment in the Republican Party's future."
