What you heard is "I'm saying this so you will not vote for Romney, a President should eat fried chicken with skin." Don't spin it out of control take it for what he said. He's saying why order fried chicken and not eat the skin, it's like saying give me a cheeseburger and hold the cheese. It is a small mear comment meant to do nothing but prove that Huck is more southern, ya know like Romney is more liberal that's all.

He writes -- with ample proof -- that "no one has articulated the message of the religious left more effectively than Mr. Huckabee." And Sanders knows what he's talking about -- he used to work for Governor Huckabee. But one wonders whether his newfound supporters would really say that if they took a close look at his policies. With increasing frequency, Mr. Huckabee invokes his faith when advocating greater government involvement in just about every aspect of American life. In doing so, Mr. Huckabee has actually answered the prayers of the religious left. There's much more to being a conservative than social issues. Take it from one of his former aides: Governor Huckabee ain't got it. And combining him with the liberal Democrats and spend-happy Republicans who run Congress will not produce good results -- no matter how much we may like where he goes to church. evangelicalsformitt Every conservative evangelical . . . should read Arkansas writer David Sanders' Wall Street Journal piece on Governor Huckabee.

But the media will hurry to report on the most trivial and stupid banalities if it involves anyone-but-Paul. Huckabee says that Mitt is not a real Southerner because he does not eat the skin!

The hateful (“your true colors are showing”) comments here are emblematic of the people that did not understand true southern heritage and true southern traditions. Mike Huckabee is correct to point out the difference. Some like bagels, we like beagles!

He's a fraud and a hypocrite and a liar, apparently. Anyone considering voting for him is either a sucker or one of those three things as well.

Rediculous. The only candidate that will actually end the conflict in Iraq and return to Republican principles is almost never mentioned by CNN. Hopefully the internet and the ability to retrieve pertinant information on topics people need to know will prevail over biased mainstream news organizations such as CNN and FOX. If people do their homework, they will realize that Ron Paul stands for what the majority of Democrat and Republican citizens want in the white house, he just doesn't stand for what the lobbyists for big business want, thus the reason he is being ostrasized by the media.

He is obviously using the word "chicken" as a metaphor for higher tariffs. So what he is saying is, "Increasing tariffs is necessary to lever the imbalance of exports to imports. We can continue doing rigorous trade with China and the rest of the far east as long as the tariff makes it profitable for the American people." Taking the "Skin off the Chicken" is insider D.C. talk for a low tariff that only benefits the exporter and special interests here at home. Well done' Huckabee you are a political dynamo.

Besides Huckabee seems to be the only one who does not take himself more serious than the issues he brings up. It´s time for America to realise that things have to change urgently. It can´t be that life of innocent childs weigh more than the choices of million of adults regarding so called "planned parenthood". America should be be glad to have someone who is serious where it matters but still has the ability to laugh. There are other candidates of the democrates that have only one goal: To sit in the White House, no matter how they treat their "rivals". This is childish and totally immature and not the fact that someone jokes about chicken skin scalps.

My background is in economics. These are the only candidates that know a darn thing about economics, including Hillary and Barak. Since Paul does not have a snowball's chance (and I voted libertarian in the last two elections), I'm going all out for Mitt Romney. He did a tremendous job saving the 2002 Winter Olympics from a $380 million catastrophe. He also saved a number of companies about to go bankrupt. When you think about it, he is exactly what this country needs. Apologies to Ron Paul, who I have the deepest respect. But Romney is electable. In fact, he almost beat Ted Kennedy in his home state.

Launch into a diatribe about the evils of eating food cooked in oil? He would have been slammed for that as well. So he made a joke. I thought it was funny. Governor Huckabee was making a joke.
