Bill Kristol's first New York Times column is about Mike Huckabee:
Some Democrats are licking their chops at the prospect of a Huckabee nomination. They shouldn't be. For one thing, Michael Bloomberg would be tempted to run in the event of an Obama-Huckabee race - and he would most likely take votes primarily from Obama. But whatever Bloomberg does, the fact is that the Republican establishment spent 2007 underestimating Mike Huckabee. If Huckabee does win the nomination, it would be amusing if Democrats made the same mistake in 2008.
The latest polling shows Huckabee moving into third place in New Hampshire, where until recently he had been stuck at the back of the pack. And yet he gets little credit for any of this. Reminds you of another politician who's often "misunderstimated."
