Every candidate we have or have had in this contest has more personal integrity than Hillary, so why is the media so bias towards her campaign.

A voice of sanity and reason! A man of character when it would be way too easy – and probably safer – to stay silent. We've not seen the last of this conciliator!

Once again, Huckabee demonstrates how people with good manners and an open mind behave.

No wonder he couldn't win the Republican nomination.

Careful Huck. These people can go REAL hard on you for helping Obama. You are right and I applaude you for it though. This country needs more like you.

Huckabee was our governor here in Arkansas. While I'm a democrat who supports Obama, I have to say he was a much better governor than Bill Clinton ever was. Clinton left our state almost bankrupt. Huckabee left us with a $1 BILLION dollar surplus!!!!

The discussions on CNN. com have become absolutely juvenile, regardless of what candidate is being supported. I just can't believe all the name calling.

If Huck defends you... that should be the kiss of death to any democrat.

Huck was too much for even the republicans to stomach.

Even though I'm pretty far from being a Republican, I really respect Huckabee for his honesty and for just being an all around good guy.

Thank you Huckabee for speaking some sense, it's nice to see a politician that has some common sense, too bad the Republicans nominated McCain.

Take it from the horse's mouth – not everyone agrees with their pastor. Incredible integrity/honesty from Huckabee.. really nice.

I like huckabee, but I don't want him running our government. He seems like a reasonable, "old-style" republican (the ones who had an ounce of integrity).

I think it's true!! that both Huckabee and Mc Cain are compaigning for Hillary now.

Sorry, Mike. I don't agree with you on this one. Especially because Obama is in politics, if he has a brain at all, he would have left that church with all its anti-American preaching knowing it would bite him at some point - had he not agreed with it. Now Obama believes that it is just a sound bite and will go away and all will be hunkey-dorey again.

HEY DUMMIES!!!!! Obama is Half White he can't be racist that would mean he hates himself , his sister (also half white) and his white mother and grandparents who raised him Stupid!!! All you Billiary and McBush supportors see is color.

So, let me get this straight, if you didn't vote for Obama and you just happen to think H. Clinton is the best candidate that makes you racist. I'm really sad for this country.

By: @americans

@americans — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:31:38 +0000

I think most americans know that Obama does not agree with Rev. Wright, but some people, very few of course (die-hard Hillaryheads and some rightwing Republican bigots; fuming-in-the-mouth Sean Hannity, spinsissy Bill O'reilly, sicko Rush Limbaugh) would want you to think otherwise!

To be nicely put, these group of haters are no worse than Rev. Wright!

My respect for this guy went even higher than it was already. He is a true Christian for stating the truth.

By: Nicole in NE

Nicole in NE — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:25:17 +0000

EXACTLY!

If we say Obama is DIRECTLY affected (and agrees) with every view and word of Rev. Wright and this Bill Ayers who he happened to serve on a board with, then I guess we should make the same argument that Hillary agrees with every view and word by her husband. It just happens to be one of the most IMPORTANT relationships you have in life. YOUR MARRIAGE!

So does that mean Hillary supports NAFTA, Columbia trade and the many pardons by Bill?

Let's keep everything in prespective here!

If your candidate doesn't win the nomination, don't turn your back on actual change this country needs. I'm not crazy about Hillary as a person, but I do not want this country to keep going down this road!
I vote DEMOCRAT!

Come on guys, Hillary NEEDS pastorgate to stick! How is it that he REPUBLICANS who are suppose to sling mud aren't?! Could it be that the only negative MONSTER in the race is Hillary?

Go fly home on your broom Hillary america is worn out on your ambition.

Wasn'tit Huckabee that said that the people that disagree with the Dixie flag being on the grounds of the South Carolina Capital know where they can stick the flag pole. Did he think people should be presumptuous about what he said.

By: Elizabeth M

Elizabeth M — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:16:36 +0000

It isn't the fact that he agreed with what Rev. Wright said, its the fact that he stayed there for years listening to it. He is running on good judgment, how was that good judgment to sit there, listen and then say he didn't agree? Why didn't he leave? Give me a break. But, as usual I am sure Obama will try to figure a way to blame Hillary for it. Huckabee forget it. And, Florida for Obama, he is the reason your votes doesn't count. He wouldn't allow you to have a revote, or to have your votes count. Your choice is excellent.

GOD BLESS YOU Mr. Huckabee. I wish this man was a Democrat. I like him even if he is a Republican.

This goes to show that just because we are on different sides does NOT mean we have to LIE and CHEAT when it comes to telling the truth.

This is something Sen. Clinton could learn on HOW to run a respectable campaign and financially viable campaign.

By: MD

Hillary Clinton and her supporters have an IQ of an ant. They just don't get it that the people of America are tired of her "OLD WASHINGTON" style of political bickering. Regardless of what Huckabee says (and it is nice to see he has integrity), let's note that not even in ONE state did the educated back Hillary more than Obama. Doesn't that say it all?

It's interesting to read the attacks on Huckabee, like McCain a basically decent guy, but I wouldn't vote for either of them, Pres/VP, because the religious right will control nominations to the US Supreme Court if McCain wins. What is most discouraging is to see both of the Clintons losing whatever grasp of truth and common decency they ever had. It's a sad day.

Yeah Huckabee – you are right – but guess what loser?

Even with the Rev. Wright issue seems like Obama is still in the race!

It's not going to stop us! What do you expect from a guy who spent millions of dollars on a 1-legged campain only to lose against Mc Cain!
