Fivethirtyeight has an interesting post on a Rasmussen Reports poll that compares the approval numbers of capitalism versus socialism. Socialists seem to be getting more support though I agree with Fivethirtyeight's position that this poll should be taken with caution.
More interesting is whether or not Republicans will move towards a more economic populism. I always found it curious that a lot of peoples votes are more based on cultural conservatism rather than economic populism but that could change.
Most interesting of all, would this push the Republicans to Huckabee and away from the Romney types? I doubt in the long run. I think Romney's got a great shot in 2012 but if the economy is still not recovering than Huckabee would be an interesting alternative.
Maybe Huckabee should have been the VP choice after all?
