HUCKABEE: Buchanan Lite?

Soren Dayton examines Mike Huckabee's rhetoric on foreign policy and concludes he is a "neo-isolationist." Dayton blogs: "Now, I believe that there is a lot of isolationism in the GOP. This was a driving force for Pat Buchanan ... Much of the Ron Paul energy can be linked to this. And Duncan Hunter's campaign could be predicated on that too."

Race4'08s DaveG links and adds: "[There is] a major vacuum in the GOP race for a candidate who can appeal to both so-cons and foreign policy realists, along with perhaps the Buchananite isolationists ... Such a vacuum would provide a tremendous opportunity for a candidate able to unite disaffected old guard Republicans ... Thanks to Ames, the dynamics of the GOP race may be about to change."
