Incredible Post on Huck

Red State has a post that does a great job of bringing together the details of why Huck is a bad Republican candidate.

A couple of quotes:
1. Ethics and judgment.
...
FACT: BJ took at least $112,000 in gifts in one year. None were from the Clintons. His salary was $67,000.
FACT: He appointed a number of individuals to State jobs after receiving sizable contributions.
FACT: He walk out of the Governor's Mansion and took $70,000 worth of furniture. He gave it back as part of a settlement with the state. Said it was a "misunderstanding".
FACT: Registered at bridal registeries when he left office so his supporters could get him appropriate gifts.
...(several more follow)

2. Economics. Simple factual stuff.
FACT: The average Arkansan was paying 47% more in taxes when BJ left office than when was first elected.
FACT: State spending rose at three times the rate of inflation.
FACT: He did nothing to expand the economic base of the State in ten years as Governor.
He goes through 6 other areas. Take a look--he does a great job of documenting Huck.
