Via Garance, here is by far and away the best advertisement of this interminable presidential election campaign:
UPDATE: Daniel Larison makes the good point that Huckabee's two word plan for securing the border ("Chuck Norris") is an admission that Huckabee doesn't really have a border policy at all (or at least not one likely to appeal to discontented Iowa Republicans).
Best - or at least most amusing - reaction to Huckabee's ad comes, of course, from our old friend Witless Fred Dalton Thompson whose campaign spokesman complains that "Mike Huckabee has confused celebrity endorsement with serious policy."
This ad is good in that it creates hype that will give the Governor more attention, with the policy ad's to follow Huckabee should continue to build momentum in Iowa.
Also, Huckabee is pretty strong on immigration wanting a fence and security agents in working order as fast as possible. He is against amnesty for those who broke the law. If people have a problem with him saying that Children of illegal immigrants did not break the law and that they should not be punished because of government incompetence and their parents wrongdoing then I guess you can vote for someone else.
