Huckabee: GOP tent can ‘be big,’ but NY-23 was a ‘train wreck’
Huckabee, a 2008 GOP presidential candidate and social conservative, criticizes the selection process in NY-23 race, but sees room in party for liberal Republicans.
In the wake of Tuesday’s elections, what’s the future of the Republican Party – big tent or conservative enclave?
Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas and Republican presidential candidate in 2008, says there’s room in the party even for people like Dede Scozzafava, the liberal Republican who was effectively run out of her House race in New York’s 23rd District by conservatives. The Democrat ended up beating the Conservative candidate there.
“Oh, I think it’s fine to have them in the Republican Party,” Mr. Huckabee told reporters Wednesday at a Monitor breakfast. “It doesn’t mean I have to support all of them equally.”

Huckabee can afford to disagree with the Tea Baggers, he's at the top of the polls:
The election may still be three years away, but it seems it’s never too early to speculate: A USA Today/Gallup poll sizing up the potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates was released today. Taking the top spot? Former Arkansas governor (and 2008 presidential hopeful) Mike Huckabee.
The poll found that the top four Republican contenders for the presidential nomination are Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich. Seventy-one percent of declared Republicans would "seriously consider" voting for Huckabee, 65 would consider voting for Romney and for Palin, and 60 percent would consider voting for Gingrich.
Among Americans overall, the order remains the same: Huckabee leads, with 40 percent saying they would seriously consider voting for him. Romney closely follows with 39 percent. He’s followed by Palin with 33 percent and Gingrich with 29 percent.

Huckabee is a social conservative but economic populist and was denounced by Limbaugh as no true conservative.

Of course, Limbaugh didn't like McCain either . . .
