In the Reason Politics Blog this morning Mike Huckabee is quoted with two favorite authors. To a seven year old he claimed his favorite was Dr. Seuss, to a more mature audience it was C.S. Lewis. Reason makes the point that this is pandering, which it is.
I think the better point is whether you actually learn anything by asking a presidential candidate who is favorite author is. I tried to think about who my favorite author is and came up with several - for economics I have one (Hayek), for literature another (probably Dickens or Twain), for politics another (probably Jeffrey Birnbaum). But even with that knowledge what could you tell about how I would govern? NOTE - This is not a presidential announcement.
