Wed Dec 12 19:58:56 Huckabee Apologizes: I'm stunned. I have gained a little more respect for the man now.
After today's trouncing of Huckabee in the Iowa debates (you could tell Huckabee was withering in the gleam of Romney's character--who was standing right beside him) in which you could see his humility from having allowed a tacit anti-mormon campaign to go on.
At one point he was asked what he would ask of his candidates as a New Year's Resolution, to which he replied: "I'll be more careful in speaking;" to which the moderator replied, "yeah, but your opponents? What about them." Huckabee simply responded, "well, perhaps for them too, but me first."
At one point in the debate Huckabee (who you could tell was having a rough time) said that he thought he had the best record on education. To which Romney pointed out politely that Massachusetts actually had a much better record than did Arkansas; with much laughter from the crowd.
It's a good day to be a Romney supporter, and I am much relieved that there is a little more civility in politics.
