You can read Mike Huckabee's Foreign Affairs essay here. The reviews are coming in, and they aren't good. Peter Wehner: "Where ought one to begin untangling this unholy mess?" Byron York: "Dreadful." Stephen F. Hayes: "Huckabee often sounded confused and naive." Daniel Drezner: "A grab-bag of contradictory ideas." The York and Drezner quotes can be found reading this not-so-friendly press release from the Romney campaign. A few thoughts. The foreign policy ideas of a certain Texas governor were ridiculed eight years ago, and that didn't prevent George W. Bush from winning the Republican nomination and eventually the presidency. There's a difference, of course: Bush had a kitchen-cabinet of experienced foreign policy advisers. Huckabee doesn't (for now). Second, one of the overarching questions of the 2008 election is whether it's about war or about peace. If it's about war, then Huckabee's goo-goo foreign policy probably won't resonate with voters, Republicans or otherwise. If it's about peace, though, will a Foreign Affairs essay few people actually read matter much at all? And third: Plainly the Romney campaign views Huckabee and no longer Giuliani as its primary obstacle to winning the Republican nomination.
