Former Governor Mike Huckabee made the cover of the July/Aug issue of "New Man Magazine." The magazine is one of the top Christian magazines. In a feature article, "One of Our Own," Thomas Harrington and Anthony Bonna identify that "Mike Huckabee is pro-life, pro-family and a happily married father of three who is a former pastor. After being Governor of Arkansas for 10 years, he may be the best qualified candidate to become US President in 2008. . . New Man thinks he is the right man for the job. . ."The article details Huckabee's success as Governor in Arkansas and address Huckabee as both a "man of faith" and a "man of reason." In examining the case for Huckabee for President, they detail Huckabee's communication skills, appeal to voters, his core social values, his Christian commitment. They then compared Huckabee against the other candidates (Republican and Democrat) using "three simple criteria:"
1) Must be a social conservative committed to pro-life, pro-family, pro-marriage issues
2) Must have strong moral character and good judgment exhibited by executive experience.
3) Must have excellent communication skills and ability to cast a vision.
The authors conclude that, "In the past 30 years only one president had all three qualifications - Ronald Reagan. This year, of all the candidates only Mike Huckabee meets all three criteria."
