So I think if you have some really constructive criticism, you should with hold your decision on this until there is more substance to support chalking him off the list of prospective Presidents, just because of an off-the-cuff comment that isn't really being clearly reported either.

We need the media to back off on their editorialism. So often they use negative words to describe an event and it makes people judge too quickly, and not based on facts. We need to be wary of anything that comes from the media...even FOX is not completely unbiased. I have been amazed however in how blatently biased the MSNBC and CNN "reporting" has been in the past. It is almost embarassing the bias they have, and they refuse to admit it.

Please conduct yourselves with some intelligence. So many people follow along like sheep....look at the comments on this blog. Good example of that.

As a Democrat all I can say is "OH GOD Please let Huckabee get the GOP nomination"...or Gulianni...or Romney...or...Thompson!

The fact is you are so blinded by this "Christian Leader" (I'm Christian) that you will do and say anything to cover his past faults and lack of anything we should consider to be Presidential material. He is NOT going to be the next President. The Democrats ARE going to slaughter this guy in the general election. The sooner you wake up and realize that the better. Romney's fault, give me a break

In the debates, I thought Huckabee did better than the rest among the Republican bunch – I am a democrat myself.

That whole thing with bird hunting in Iowa was weird I thought and he looked like a buffoon to me with "I am an outdoors kinda guy" photo op thing.

These "gaffes" about Pakistan...well, honestly, I dunno....I dont think they are a big deal. Seems a little blown out of proportion honestly.

WHAT the hell?! This guy's absolutely clueless if he thinks we're going to see people on ships headed for the U.S. The 'dangerous time' line is so overused, it's cliche now.

The Media is trying really hard to define Huckabee in a way that is probably not accurate.

Huckbee is a likeable person, but he has serious issues with over speaking, creating a dangerous scenario for the highest office in our nation. Considering his strange comments at the NRA meeting, disrespectful Holocaust notion, pheasant killing comparison, lack of current information on the Iran NIE report, and now this, Huckabee does not prove well-suited to be our next president.

It's unbelievable that someone can drop a purposely misinformed statement into the airways, and all you self-righteous, "intelligent," expert, airmchair know-it-alls pounce like meat to the lions. If you know so much, why don't you run for President yourselves? GIVE ME A BREAK!!

CNN is the worst of all, i.e.: Wolf Blitzer...he can't stand Republicans in any shape, form, or fashion (and Christian believers, for that matter). He knows that if he drops innuendo, the ignorant masses (as proven by these stupid blog comments) go wild.

Huckabee hasn't mentioned his faith on his own–all the "nuances," as you call them, are coming from MEDIA. Huck WANTS to keep it separate, media won't let him...they are hung up on it . So sue him for exercising his constiutional right by politely answering their questions. Good grief!

The fact that this country has strayed so far from the intent ot the original framers of the Constitution is SCARY! And wouldn't it be better for a Christian to be President of our Judeo/Christian- founded country than a MUSLIM??? My gosh, people! WHAT are you thinking?

You people think that when someone drops a smear hint at a perfectly good, knowledgeable and respectable candidate, it instantly becomes "truth." With this fact about "group mentality," it's clear to me why our forefathers invented the electoral college. The masses can't be trusted to keep the facts factual and the truth intact. Just because some uneducated (and even educated) fool says it, doesn't make it so!

Someone makes a "he PROBABLY thinks this or that" statement, and the next thing you know, CNN is reporting it as fact, and you bloggers jump in like wild dogs to tear apart the prey.

This is what makes me sick about our country...we don't stand for anything worthwhile or respectable anymore, but are as totally out of control as people in Pakistan and Iraq as far as group ignorance...it's just that we haven't progressed (yet) to the point of group violence that goes along with it in other countries. (Don't worry, that will come!)

I am ashamed of you and your lynch-mob mentality. Get a grip, use a few brain cells and realize we live in a CIVILIZED country, not third-world! ACT LIKE IT! and stop making us the laughing stock of the rest of the world!

The United States supported the Shaw of Iran until he was overthrown, the United States supported President Marcos until he was ousted. The assasination of Bhutto simply makes the dictatorship of Musharraf that much easier to continue and strengthen itself, and with Musharraf doing little or nothing in the "war on terror," little or nothing will have changed.

The United States is supporting Musharraf however supporting a person is not the same as supporting democracy or Pakistan. We are providing our support to the dictator of a nuclear armed and failing nation who will one day turn on us with the help of the money and aid that we have provided.

Mike Huckabee is the best candidate for president of this country, and he has shown it many times over! The only other would be Ron Paul, but he needs to do a lot of work to catch up in the poles. Please, before you rob Huckabee to pay Paul, have him get his stats up!!!

Jeesh, just give the guy a break!!!

Just the kind of headlines CNN needs.

Gee, and despite that, he won four statewide elections in Arkansas. Somebody in Arkansas must have thought he was doing a pretty good job.

Furthermore, maybe if we spent our time and money looking for Bin Laden instead of attacking Iraq for the last 5 years, Bhutto would still be alive."

Don't you realize those two paragraphs contradict each other? You are saying it isn't the responsibility of the US to track down Bhutto's assassins, and yet wonder why we haven't been looking for Bin Laden, whose organization was undoubtedly behind Bhutto's murder. Bhutto's enemines are our enemies – that's why Mike Huckabee said we should be tracking down those responsible.

It's people like you who make my point. I simply find it astounding that you actually try to justify the creationist point of view regarding evolution. So we are to believe the bible as written verbatim, right? I guess that is your source for all information. It shows. It never ceases to amaze me how people will fall back on stories and fairytales and live in blissful ignorance. I guess we should discard all scientific data, knowledge and research.

You would have us march backwards and regress completely. You don't question or think or reason, you just believe the bible as the word of God and that's it. Thank goodness that many of us still do reason and think. In the Scopes Monkey trial, Clarence Darrow said that the man who was put on trial for teaching evolution wanted to have the right to think. But now you come along and start rambling about Lucy and trying to make the case for creationism for evolution.

I do have the ability to use my intelligence and brains and one thing I know is that I do not want someone like Huckabee as president of my country. He can spin his minister's pleasant sounding righteous pieties all he wants, but as for holding the highest office in the land – forget it! His latest gaffe is not the worst, that is yet to come. We have only just scratched the surface of this man's utter ignorance.

This country needs someone of strength, intelligence, great ideas, fortitude, perseverance and courage to solve the difficult problems that we face. But here we have Huckabee with his fables and biblical quotes and that's supposed to take the place of real thought and real problem solving? I don't want someone who will run to the bible to find solutions to the problems of this world. I want someone who has the brains to think for themselves. Huckabee does not meet this test.

Would you be more specific, just like a liberal makes statements and can’t back them up, or won’t acknowledge that he has done something right.

Lets say keep us safe. Not another attact after Clinton got us attacted on 9/11

Who cares about France or Germany, they are never on our side of anything.

As for Huck walk a few miles in his shoes, before you throw him under the bus.

I'm a Chicago raised catholic boy who lives in Texas and I married to a woman who goes to a baptist church every Sunday. As does her Sister, Mom and daughter and son in law. They go to 4 different Baptist churches in this area and they all believe in Creationism. They all reject Darwinism. They did not evolve from apes. PERIOD. I've had serveral conversatation with them on this and there is no changing it.

But they are good people. And one should not discount such voters. By my political accounting they should be Democrats. But are not and discount the democrats completely. Why...who knows.

As a political strategist from afar what harm does it do to teach both Creationalism and Darwinism in school. I think Democrats have all to gain and nothing to loose by supporting the notion that it is okay to teach Creationalism in school.

I just think the Democratic party could win more political points, aka votes for their candidates, thus votes for their policy agenda, if they reached out more to the religious community. What harm does it do to spend 1 hour talking about Creationalism. It's a no harm no foul in my book. You have parents paying into the public school system but sending their kids to private religious schools. Should they be double taxed on this? I think the non-religious community could give the religious community a bone on this one. I have my own concerns about religious dogma and it's political influence on our society but teaching 1 hour of Creationalism is not one of them.

Huckabee's campaign is imploding when it gets to serious issues – his comedian routine won't carry him.
