"Last night, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee -- winner of this year's Republican Iowa caucuses -- sent a letter to his supporters (reprinted on his blog) calling on them to "shift back to the issues" and echoing his Tuesday comments to Fox News's Sean Hannity pooh-poohing Obama's contention that Sen. John McCain's claim that he represents change is putting "lipstick on a pig."
"It's an old expression," Huckabee had told Hannity, "and I'm going to have to cut Obama some slack on that one. I do not think he was referring to Sarah Palin; he didn't reference her. If you take the two soundbites together, it may sound like it. But I've been a guy at the podium many times, and you say something that's maybe a part of an old joke and then somebody ties it in. So, I'm going to have to cut him slack."
I for one am subscribing to Huckabee's blog---as another step toward finding more thoughtful, reality-based conservatives to share with our readers...and enhance my own understanding of thoughtful conversative perspectives The address is www.mikehuckabee.com
