I predict that will change soon, and I do think that some of what was written could very well prove true, such as:
"Mike Huckabee is the Republican that probably worries me the most," said Wooten Johnson, a Democratic strategist based in Louisiana. "Unlike the other Republicans, he isn't flawed in the eyes of the Republican base. But more importantly, he has a record of being a true compassionate conservative. He will be able to attract those suburban voters that don't want to vote for [a] Democrat."
John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster based in Alabama, offered a similar sentiment about Huckabee: "He is the type of person who plays well in both a People Magazine profile, on Leno and in debates," said Anzalone. "Real people seem to see a bit of themselves in Huck, and I think he will be difficult to demonize."
I recommend reading the full post, Cillizza does a great job in providing historical information on Huckabee and it's a good read for those of us really into politics.

I believe that of the Republicans running, Huckabee is the best general election candidate. I also think he could beat Clinton and Obama.
A real compassionate conservative, too difficult to demonize, my heavens!
Two words...Wayne DuMond.
Not sure Huckabee is all they're giving him credit for. I think somewhere along the line he is getting the nod from the 'sound-clip' population who only want to spend 30 seconds picking who they like best. This would be your fuzzy middle.
Unfortunately, picking a president is turning out to be a popularity contest. This is sad.
So far - they still all appear to be trying to sell me property in the middle of Lake Erie.
Venom, I can understand that feeling, it's like used car salesmen at times with a mix of Publisher Clearing House.
