Huckabee just finished on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and I'm telling you the guy is personable as all get out. He cracked jokes that were funny, jammed on the guitar with the band, talked up the fair tax (which I like) and just generally did a great job of coming across as somebody you would want to have in leadership in the oval office. He absolutely did not hurt himself with that performance one bit. Personality doesn't equal political success, but if it did, the Huckster would be a national favorite. Did you catch his appearance on Leno? How do you think he did?

Huckabee Homers on Leno
Huckabee just finished on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and I'm telling you the guy is personable as all get out.

He allowed the rest of the country to see who he really can be. Not just people the people of Iowa.
ReplyDeleteI only saw portions of his performance at Tavis's debate, but what I saw was impressive. His Leno appearance appeared to be more of the same. I think the MSM and large swaths of the blogosphere report him mostly as a caricature of brainless evangelical fervor and I don't think thats particularly accurate. But the guy you saw on Leno last night came across as a reasonable guy that you could talk to, and somebody who had some sense of connecting to people who are going through. I was also impressed with the evident personal testimony of his weight loss. I think a lot of people can relate to that, either having done it or wanting to do it, and it says something positive about him that he made a change for the better as far as his health.
ReplyDeleteHis appearance on Leno really made me decide to open back up to him, though I still want an adequate explanation about his Dumond rape case history.
