Trolling the Internet for presidential campaign news, I stumbled across the website of a “neo-Confederate.” He’s compiled the pros and cons of potential presidential candidates.

“Ark. Lt. Governor Mike Huckabee, unable to leave Arkansas by law because the Governor was absent from the state, sent a terrific videotape speech, which was viewed and extremely well received by the audience.”
