Do you think it’s better than Fredheads? I can’t decide.

If you can tell something about a candidate by his supporters, then it is clear that Mike Huckabee should be President. So obviously, that system breaks down in actual practice. But I must say the Huckaberries seemed like a clean cut and normal bunch. Rudy Giuliani’s entourage was like Christmas Day at a nursing home: just a few, old, and fairly somber. Ron Paul’s supporters seemed to have been bused in — half from a NORML convention, the other half from a meeting of anti-tax militants. Mitt Romney’s group seemed to be from someplace called “Stepford,” and all seemed to have just made their sales goal for the quarter. And Sam Brownback, Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, and John McCain don’t really exist, because they had no supporters out front. Shame about Tancredo and Hunter.
