Many Americans like to know that the underdog can win, Mike Huckabee said on Friday morning, fresh off his first-place showing in the Iowa Republican caucuses.
Huckabee joked about being the "Seabiscuit" candidate, a reference the thoroughbred race horse that defeated a Triple Crown champion in 1938 after a lackluster start to his career.
In an interview on "Fox & Friends" Friday, Huckabee said people are connecting to his campaign "because I'm talking about how to make America better." He said he won't change what he's doing because it's working.
The Limbaugh factor
Asked about Rush Limbaugh's comments that Huckabee is not a true Ronald Reagan conservative, Huckabee responded that he was an early supporter of Ronald Reagan when Reagan ranked last in the polls.
Limbaugh called Fox News Thursday night, saying Huckabee doesn't have "Reagan credentials" and that very few of the Republican candidates do.) Huckabee said he finds the criticism "ridiculous."

Sorry, goober, 14% of the non-evangelical vote and 45% of the evangelical vote does not a winner make.
The only question now is whether you want to be VP for McCain or Guilani because you simply do not have the intellectual necessities to be president.

He may “feel” like Seabiscuit (my guess is “feelings” are important to the Huckster, as they are to most leftists).
But his behavior and policy reveals him to be more like “Bullplop”.

Yes but he’ll apologize for it.
To: Cecily
Now I’m doubly offended. Huckabee is no Ronald Reagan, nor is he Seabiscuit by any stretch of the imagination.

Hey Huckster!
Jesse Jackson is a Christian Minister too!
I'd never vote for either of you.
To: Bitsy
Yup you were right it was Huck.
I was having a ditzy moment.

what an insult to a legend, SeaBiscuit....Absolutely right. That's why Huckabee chose this comparison--trying to make himself look better by associating himself with the memory of a great champion. It didn't work.
