Mike Huckabee's new TV ad in Michigan portrays him as an energetic governor with lots of accomplishments in health care, education and tax-cutting. We've examined theeducationandtax-cuttingclaims before, so here we'll examine whether the ad is right when it saysTimemagazine called him one of America's best governors.Indeed, in November 2005,Timefeatured him in a story headlined America's 5 Best Governors. (The others were Kenny Guinn of Nevada, Janet Napolitano of Arizona, Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas and Mark Warner of Virginia.)The article said Huckabee approached his state's troubles with energy and innovation and cited his accomplishments with children's health care and economic growth. It called him a mature, consensus-building conservative who earns praise from fellow Evangelicals and, occasionally, liberal Democrats.Timeisn't the only publication to honor him that month.Governingmagazine (which is owned by the same parent company as PolitiFact) named him one of its Public Officials of the Year.
