Finally, a C-PAC speaker to agree with

I've quoted so many Beavis and Butthead type comments from the Conservative PAC meeting last weekend. Now finally one of their speakers has said something they should listen to:
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee . . . pointed to the Bush administration’s failed response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

“You know what kind of conservatives we need most? Competent conservatives,” Huckabee said in a speech Thursday. “It’s when we lose our competence, that Americans lose their confidence.”

“We’re no longer Reagan’s shining city on a hill; we are the ruined city by the sea,” he added.
I don't think we have to worry about a sudden outbreak of competence, but I'm not counting Huckabee out as a contender in 2012. He already has a base from 2008, Romney just didn't catch on before, and Palin and Jindal seem to be losing their luster.

    Well, the attendees at the C-PAC didn't agree with me. In a straw poll, Huckabee came in 6th with 7%, behind Romney 20%, Jindal 14%, Paul 13%, Palin 13%, and Gingrich 10%.

    For what it's worth. Probably not much.
