Jim Geraghty reports on the addition of Jim Pinkerton to Governor Huckabee's team.

James Pinkerton, a columnist for Newsday, fellow at the New America Foundation, and veteran of the Reagan and George H.W. Bush campaigns, has signed on with the Huckabee campaign.

Regular readers will recall that Jim Pinkerton's latest project is an effort to get Republican candidates at the federal level to commit to completing a border fence by a date certain. Not surprisingly, Huckabee has already pledged to complete the border fence promptly upon taking office.

Look for the pledge to be featured more prominently in the Huckabee campaign in the days ahead.
