Huckabee on crime

This story, that Huckabee had more commutations and pardons combined than the neighboring 6 states, might play right into Rudy's hands in particular. Rudy can play up his outspoken defense of NYPD in the face of assault after assault from liberal MSM, and then attempt to paint Huckabee as soft on crime. Not sure how much this will resonate with Republican base, though, and whether Rudy and others will be successful in suggesting that a soft record on crime will translate into a soft policy on national defense.

If it hurts him anywhere, it will be in comparison with Rudy. I think it probably helps him in the general: as I wrote before, anytime Republicans can avoid being pigeonholed as heartless, it's a win. Just as Dems have to avoid being pigeon-holed as bleeding-hearts.
