Iowa Dispatch: Edwards Populism v. Huckabee Populismnew
Huckabee's routine contains little that appeals to the common man's wallet besides the promise to end dependence on foreign oil and the cry to abolish the IRS and enact the FairTax -- a policy that is hardly in the economic interest of the lower and middle classes. Edwards, on the other hand, had a firm grasp on specific government policies that concern working people.
