Will More and More Say "I Heart Huckabee"?

There was a quirky film out in 2004 about "existentialist detectives" called "I Heart Huckabees."

Look for "I Heart Huckabee" to be a popular catchphrase in political op-ed pieces the next few days, 'cause suddenly he's a consideration. You really should read David Brooks’ seven reasons why Huckabee is rising.

Other commentary:

"Huckabee comes across more hopeful than Giuliani, more believable than Romney, more intelligent than Thompson and fresher than McCain." Jonathan Alter

“An Obama-Huckabee race in 2008 would probably be as inspiring as a Clinton-Giuliani race would be depressing.” Rod Dreher

“That Huckabee has a pure social-conservative pedigree helps him in a race where none of the major candidates do, but much of his appeal is in the sheer nothing-to-lose joie de vivre of his candidacy. . . . Enjoy it while it lasts.” Rich Lowry

"If religious voters heed Mike Huckabee's call . . . the battle between the purists and pragmatists in the Christian Right may well be settled in Iowa." Amy Sullivan

Besides, Chuck Norris likes him.
