It is in the New York Times today.

On the same program, the former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, the winner of the Iowa Republican caucuses, faced challenges to his own consistency on the subjects of the war in Iraq and the Congressional intervention in the case of Terri Schiavo, the long-comatose Florida woman. Religious conservatives and anti-abortion groups protested when Ms. Schiavo’s husband decided to shut down her life support system, as they argued that no life should end prematurely.
Confronted with a past statement expressing his reservations about the effect of President Bush’s Iraq troop “surge” on National Guard units, Mr. Huckabee argued that he both supported the surge and, as chief of the Arkansas National Guard, worried about the overstretching of the American military and its National Guard troops.
Mr. Huckabee also sought to reconcile one statement expressing doubts about federal authority to intervene in Ms. Schiavo’s state-court case and another statement supporting the idea as an intervention “on the side of life.” Mr. Huckabee deflected the question, launching into a monologue characterizing his support for “life,” and opposition to abortion rights as part of a larger belief in human equality regardless of “net income,” “I.Q.” or other social status.
