An article on Mike Huckabee's foreign policy experience. Its summed up in a quote he made to Imus:


And the ultimate thing is, I may not be the expert that some people are on foreign policy, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.”

Im all for a good joke. But i dont see how deflecting serious questions on foreign policy experience with a joke is going to make you come across well.

Thanks, the rep doesnt matter that much to me. This country, however, does. The more I learn about Huckabee, the more I think that the Republican party, and more importantly this nation would be serverely hurt by him.

However, I dont think he will win in Iowa. I dont think he will get the nomination.

I'm hoping he won't win the nomination, he may well win Iowa.

Yeah, that is a strange thing to say. I don't think it is good form to joke about such serious issues.

I just think he has a sense of humor. Just like the Chuck Norris ads. He's trying to gain friends, not answer questions to someone who's trying to play "Gotcha".

Is that all you care about? Friends? So this guy is "cool" because he is just trying to make friends?
