The piling on starts. I noticed that most of the attacks against Huckabee are coming from Romney supporters. I guess they have reason to worry. I got a kick out of a couple of recent commentaries talking about his “lack of foreign policy experience”. I have heard that same line on every Governor who ever ran for President. You don’t get a lot of foreign policy experience as Governor of a state. They used that line on Reagan, Clinton, George W. Bush and every other Governor or former Governor who ran for President. The only guy in recent history they couldn’t tag with that was George H.W. Bush who had been an Ambassador, Vice President, Director of the CIA and Congressman. These same guys knocking Huckabee for his “lack of foreign policy experience” are supporting Romney. Are we to say his managment of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City was “foreign policy experience”?

Actually most of the attacks are coming from Republicans who are not friggin' stupid Huckster supporters. Y'know your guy is not going to win the nomination as an anonymous candidate. It's too bad that every moronic utterance that comes out of his stupid piehole is being shoved back into his insipid face, but hey that's what happens when you move from the dwarf class into the first tier.

I do not support Romney.

I also do not support a candidate who could assert with a straight face that his theology degree (which by the way, he doesn’t have) qualifies him to fight Islamofascism. That he could say such a thing and apparently actually believe it would be funny if it weren’t so frightening.

No, but it was powerfully impressive and convincing evidence of his executive skills and brilliance in organizing people and budgeting money to turn a fiscal and ethical disaster into a highly profitable squeaky-clean success. He even refused to take a salary; turned it all back to the Olympics.

What has Huckabee accomplished in a similar vein that is even remotely comparable?

Huckabee was gifted in turning on the spigot to get special gifts and favors for himself and his family. He even wrangled Wendy's hambugers at half price!
