You have a point - I should have qualified it. Huck is the media-darling Republican right now so he gets a pass. There's always one, and that generally is the Republican who's the least Republican on the hot issue of the day. Today that's the economy.

Huck's been vocal enough against mean Wall Street people to earn his pass.

Ron Paul had it briefly when he was railing against the war, lost it when the media types actually found out what he was all about.

McCain got it during McCain Feingold, lost it supporting the war, then got it back (briefly) for being against the border fence and toughness on illegal aliens.

Colin Powell usually has it but lost it when he spoke before the UN about Iraq's WMDs. Got it back when he expressed regret.

Giuliani had it nationally for awhile for being pro-choice, pro gay-rights, and generally a social liberal. Lost it when he a) got the lead last year and b) started sounding more Republican on things like defense.
