I guess Huckabee thinks these answers won’t get translated back into English. It kind of reminds me of the way some of the Arab leaders speak to the west and then tell another version to the Arab speaking nations.

That is EXACTLY the tactical value I see of this debate.

A true panderer who will shift in the wind, like Huck, will say something stupid, while others who are firmly grounded like Duncan or Thompson, wont. It shows whether people are made of steel, or just are all things to all people. This is a good selection process for our next President. Those who sell out and pander and panic in front of such a crowd and want to please them, rather than stay true to the GOP base, then can be met with these juicy quotes later at the next campaign stop, thrown back in their face.
