Scott Walker has an easygoing low-key style. It is easy to like him. The bar is set low, nothing dramatic. I think people get very comfortable with him.
Walker is apparently the main pick of the Tea folk. They unified behind him early and have mostly stuck with him. Some of the Tea types who supported Cruz and Paul have gone with Trump now but Walker kept hold of his.
He'll never get the money or attention. In a crowded field, he'll have even less chance than he did in the 2008 field.
But Huckabee is just likeable to a lot of people. It's not hard to see why. He's a bit of a people pleaser, like another Arkansas pol, Bill Xlinton.
I think Walker has an edge in youth, being low-key, having the right demeanor, perceived by voters as "approachable", "cares about people like me", etc. The usual polling benchmarks.
Walker is going bald too early in his political career. He won't survive SNL in the general election:)
I think his general style and personality carries him past his little Hair Club For Men problem. But I could be wrong. I know a lot of GOP women like Rubio for no reason they can articulate. And, other than the quarter-size bald spot at the back of his head, he looks good with his new combover moussed look. But I recall that both Dan Quayle and Paul Ryan were supposed to be total chick magnets and how that didn't work out so well.
