He is the only Republican candidate who understands that the President of the U.S. is president of all people, including retirees and people of color. On the other hand, McCain has no standing to criticize the rest of the Repubican field. After having been invited to Tavis Smiley's debate to address issues important to black and Hispanic voters in February 2007, he manufactured an excuse to thumb his nose and black and Hispanic voters and skip the debate in September 2007. Obviously, Giuliani, Romney, Thompson, and, yes, McCain will continue to draw lines and drive wedges among the classes, races, cultures, genders, ages, and religions of America. It is easy to understand why Huckabee stands out to objective observers. He is honest, transparent, and sincere about unifying a very divided and combative America. Admirable! Good for Huckabee!
