Way to go Huckabee!

As a Physician, I recommend that everyone take a course in First Aid and familiarize themselves with CPR.

Fast thinking on your part!

Hopefully, he can save McCain. LOL

Well isn't that the right thing to do - save a fellow human's life.

Tom

PS I made 3 comments on "Minnesota Democratic Party endorses Al Franken" and CNN put up two. The first comment was the one with the most relivance - the other two were additional comments and CNN put up the last two.

CNN you do not believe in the 1st Amendment. You're commentaor sucks.

Typical. While the also-ran in the Democratic party is bathing in the glory of being treated like royality by the liberal main stream media, the Republican runner-up is out there saving lives. Poetic doesn't even begin to explain these actions. Of course, Hillary has "people" to take care of little problems like Huckabee took care of himself today. She doesn't like to get her hands dirty you know. Barack of course would have just laid his hands on the victim and healed him on the spot.

What a heroic …stunt.

Wow! Cool!!!! Maybe he'll save John McCain's campaign and become VP.

Huckabee is awesome!

Way to go Huck… seriously. Way to go…

(see we CAN speak to each other without disdain)

final note.. this is the first time i have been allowed to post here all day, so I am going for it in relation to today's political events…

Senator Clinton,
I do thank you for your tenacious campaign. During the 90's and beyond, I had always been a staunch defender of all things Clinton. I did identify with Senator Obama during 'this' campaign. HOWEVER, I will credit YOU for making Senator Obama a stronger more vibrant candidate. I will credit YOU for preparing him to be successful against the forthcoming Republican smear machine. Senator Obama and his supporters always 'thought' he was ready. YOU MADE HIM PROVE IT TO HIMSELF, TO US, TO THIS NATION, AND TO THE WORLD.

Thank you for yesterday. Thank you for TODAY. Thank you for the tomorrows you have made brighter for all Americans, women in general, and my own daughter, in particular.

Senator, best wishes to yourself, former President Clinton, and your beautiful daughter with the brightest future imaginable, Chelsea.

Respectfully,

******, a.k.k. Biff Biffington

Good you were there Huckabee

Well I am happy Huckabee has done something right.
God bless him for saving a life. But the joke he gave about the gun shot and Obama falling wasn't funny at all.

OK so Huck is good for something. I hope he doesn't try to run it like he is some kind of war hero who deserves blind votes.

So does this mean Republicans cain't walk and chew at the same time?

Ooooh, that's gonna cost a lot of favors.

lol

You go Huck!

Good for Mike! I am happy that Pittenger is doing well.

Are you sure this wasn't just Mike's way of being friendly? It seems like a great number of right-wing religious folks like to "bond" in this fashion!

Its time to stand up…and support OBAMA….lets all stop acting like children.

he was giving the man the 'gay' hug.

huckabee is too weird to describe in less than 10K words,

I still [Heart!!] Huckabee!

Hillary and Huck should run as independent.
Hillary as president and Huck as vp.

Im very sure that Hillary wil win, and Barack will in the drain so McCain.

Even the Republicans are choking on their own BS this year…

I do not think that lol is the right response to someone saving a life, having been a medic for a number of years I take great exception to that. You know it is a very sad day in this country and says a lot about its people when we cannot simply give thanks to Governor Huckabee for stepping up in an emergency and taking the time to learn life saving techniques. Go work in an ER or on an ambulance then come back and tell me you can laugh about saving lives, it is unbelievable to see such hubris.

Maybe he can duck from gun fire.

This guy would have been loads better than that idiot McCain. I supported Republicans for 30 years now, but this year I'm voting Obama. The idiotic Clinton supports and Lieberman are corrupting the Republican party.

teh clintons are still the center of everything as they wanted all along..
and CNN clinton national news makes sure of that..

readers, be aware CNN will not rest until their queen and king are in the throne,,

ANOTHER reason that McCain should pick him as his running mate….

Huck for VP

Right man. Right place. Right time. It's not too late for Huck in '08!

Very cool Good job, Mr. Huckabee!

Obama 08!

The man saves souls and he saves lives. You got to love this guy. !!

You should watch for feathers before you eat crow.

lol indeed…good job though, wish i knew how to do it!

God bless you Huckabee.

I hope that good ole mike knows c.p.r. because of Mccain keeps making the mistakes that he has been making, mike may need to do some good ole mouth to mouth!!

Divine Intervention!

Another reason why he should have been the prez . . .

well, he may be a crazy conservative but at least he is a decent human being, which is more than can be said for the majority of his party. Good job sir.

Huckabee for VP!!!!

that's the kinda guy i want for prez

Nicely done!

Bravo Huckabee for your understanding to intervene rapidly

Maybe he needs to do the heimlich on McCain's campaign especially his speeches.

Good work Huckabee!

It's hard not to like Mike

Talk about a TRUE pro-life candidate. lol

Huck is a good American.

Huckabee rocks. If he can save a gluttonous Lt. Governor candidiate, perhaps he can Save the Country with his own hands as well.

Now, that is a guy that can react fast, has good experience, good judgment, had a good economic policy in his state and I would like to see as a VP.

Too bad he can't administer the Heimlich maneuver to the entire republican party

obama 08, but thats an awesome deed. right place right time?

wow good deal huckster. i did that for my cousins grandmother in 1983 in brooklyn nyc when i was onl,y 16. years old
she was choking on a piece of steak and she had only 2 teeth. tis a good feeling to save a life. it saved the grannys life and she died 3 years later in 1986. everyone should learn this techinique i believe.
Patrick In Orlando

Tell this to John McCain. Huck on VP short list!

Thank goodness for Huck. He would make a good VP.

Maybe a good reason to pick Huck as VP.

Do not make a speach and eat your food at the same time. MOM

—wow,

would he go to iraq and save people there too?

Wow. Just… wow.

Something inside me thinks it was either a premature move on his part or the whole thing was a set up. Mr. Pittenger probably would have been fine without it, but it was a great chance for Ole' Huck to look good and steal a little limelight. I don't trust a thing this two-faced politician-extraordinaire says or does. Not after his acting debut in the primaries.

And I'm a medical student who actually HAS saved a man's life (in 2004) with the Heimlich in a nursing home. Most people who are choking don't need the Heimlich.

You go Huckabee. You will make a great V.P. for John McCain with your medical expertise.

just another day in the life of a Christian

thank you Mr. Huchabee

Good for you, Huck!

Mike Huckabee is a good man. He'd be a terrible President, but he's a good man.

Way to go Huck!

We are choking on debt thanks to political leadership at the national level. Republicans have doubled the national debt in the last 8 years. They spend our money and my children's money to solve our problems. The cure is getting to be worse than the disease.

US $ 9,000,000,000,000 has been rammed down our throats by our national leaders. Another US $50,000,000,000,000 is owed to federal pensions, Medicare, and social security.

America needs the Heimlich to get rid of national politicians who are choking my children with debt.

Everyone knows these things are problems…. but the candidates refuse to talk about it.

HEY. Wake up. Step 1: Admit you have a problem.

Huckalberry is a likable clown. He saved a life- great for him… But his dopey joke about Obama hitting the floor after mistaking a noise for gunshots revealed Huck's real character… go back to the pulpit where you have a gullible and adoring audience Huckster!

He's was the only contender worth voting for and I will probably write his name on the ballot rather than not vote at all!

It is refreshing to see a man like Huckabee that not only talks the talk, but walks the walk.

Mike Huckabee, a great American.

lol. i'm a die-hard obama fan, but i've always had affection for huckabee. he seems like a genuinely good man.

Huckabee for VP. He is amazing.

What is it about republicans and their food problems? Bush was almost killed by a pretzel, now this. Who's next?

Good job buddy. PS: don't take the VP slot but stay in the sidelights until next time.

This guy is great, he should definitley be VP

I suppose this can make up for his NRA joke about Obama being shot at.

Just barely.

You're so right Mr. "The Truth" a non-Republican person of a different religious upbringing probably would have stood there and watched.

I wonder if Huckabee can keep McCain from choking in November???

He thinks on his feet and does the right thing. Sounds good to me. Maybe to McCain, too?

They save lives on Baywatch too. Pamela for VP! Huckabee is an idiot and only an idiot would choose him as VP. He needed more than a miracle to win the nomination. And a Heimlich maneuver won't be enough to get him the VP slot either. Although McCain does owe him for sabotaging Romney's win and taking away enough conservative votes to leave McCain the last man standing.

Get back to your book Huckabee. I can't wait for the laughs to come out of that one!

Saved the white guy, made fun of the black guy getting shot. Good ol' Huck!

Seems like a lot of people think he'd make a good VP. I guess I could happily vote for an Obama/Huckabee ticket, Two powerful speakers who care about the little guy. Why not?

Huckabee for VP!

He only did it because he thought some one was shooting at him…

I too think the whole thing was a set up. Now everybody will be singing Huckleberry's name: Oh my darlin, Oh my darlin….

A republican politician choking? He must have been trying to speak a truth.

LOL.

WAY TO GO HUCKSTER, GOD BLESS YOU.

A good man with a good skill. He could have sat by and didn't.

HUCKABEE IS THE BEST! good job!

huck for vp

Good job Huck!

Super Huck thats great but just dont run for any part of the White House…. please.

Sounds more like a planned stunt, the likes of which are renowned in fundamentalist Christian Republican circles. Huckleberry is the same fraud who ran and lost to the biggest loser of them all, McCain. He's no life saver from his god.

Way to go Huckabee! Good man, good politician, gotta love him!

See…..now this is what you call being a living example of someone who is truly pro-life.

I love you Huck. If this was a publicity stunt it is masterful. If it was for real it shows the Huckster really practices what he preaches about a healthy life style. .

Now we know why he got that last name;)

Maybe he can do the Heimlich maneuver on Obama in November.

That is just who Huckabee is. He is a kind soul. Now, if he wasn't such a homophobe, then he would have been the perfect candidate!

Way to go my brother

To all the haters: he saved a life. You didn't. End of story.

Funny how this got more press than the 75,000 people he helped during Katrina.

Intervening on what God wants. It's a slipperly slope that may lead Mike Huckabee to recognize evolution, women's rights, …

He was probably laughing at one of Hucks off color jokes at the time and stuffing himself with mountain oysters.

Huckabee change we can believe in !

Way to go Huckabee! Hope McCain picks you as his VP!!

Oh yes, the ability to perform the Heimlich maneuver definitely signifies that Huckabee should be president…

Another Festivus Miracle!

Heh Heh….!! All for attention to get the VP seat!! I guess Huckabee is desperate.

He even looks like Huckabee,maybe they are kissin cousins.

You're a good man, Mr. Huckabee. Even though I don't agree with you politically I think you are a good, decent man. Peace and blessings.

Bash Cheney DAY! June 06, 2008

The Cheneys Make about 3xs as much as their BOSSES the BUSHES= Pay equal amounts in TAXES
VEE PEE CHENEY has sat on the boards or owned huge portions of (KBR) Kelloggs, Brown, & Root; MAJOR GOV’T contractors. Hey, VEE PEE, “CONFLICT of INTERESTS, BABY”.

AND, BAD NEWS links for MCSAME CAME; therealmccain.com

Ron Paul is reportedly exhibiting signs of the "Thorazine Shuffle".

He saved me too - from political boredom and from giving up on the whole Washington scene!

That proves 71 year old McCain needs the miracle man Huckabee as his VP. (God forbid) If he is elected prez, he may die anytime and may need this former pastor by his side to raise him from the dead.

Obama/Edwards 08

To those who care about the people in the war; they should never ever vote for Obama. He does not have the ability to get us out savely. Mccane might want us to stay in the war for 100 years, but he won't be able to do that because Hillary will take over in 4 years. However, if you vote for Obama, his impotence might cause us more lives for another 8 years. Definately NOobama. Also, my dream for universal health care is crashed today. YOu know what, Obama promised a lot, but he will never deliver. We can only hope hillary will save us in 4 years if not (in august) after the convention. I will support hillary all the way. I will never ever donate a single dollar to the DM party. I never would ahve thought i would become an independent and voted for a republician as I never could have thought the people in teh DM party and the media is so bias, manipulative and undemocratic. I guess everything thing has it's first time. I would cast the vote for Mccane for this time for the sake of the war, our soldiers in Iraq, and most importanly, Hillary. I will be here in four years. NEVER vote for OBAMA. IT only means troubles, racism, and sexism and dirty politics. Speaking of change??!!! I guess we changed into a darker period of manipulation with this democratic primary race, with the influence of Obama. Who said he is not a washinton old style politican? Maybe not, a regular politican; because he is more manipulative, and superifical relying on retorics and less potent. I guess his change means a change to the darker side.

Some of Chuck Norris must have rubbed off onto Huckabee. Now Chuck needs to teach him a killer roundhouse!

Mike, you are a great guy. I think you can take up senator's post for Arkansas. Also work hard to throw out Barack. He has no place in our politics.

Huck for VP

Maybe he was chocking on the fact John McCain was privatizing Social Security and he found out the system spent it all on the lousy WAR..!

So Ole Huck is a hero but not for all Americans….

Im going to MSNBC cause cnn is so divisive helping to put hillary supporters against Obama supporters and i am an Obama Supporter.

I think this is a vast right wing conspiracy lol

Methinks this is part of a vast rightwing conspiracy to make Huckabee Veep.

Stay with the old man McBush because he might need your services, especially when he cannot remember on which side of an issue he last stood.

America had better wake up. I honestly believe BHO is a muslim.
He is a muslim mole. It's like someone put a drug in the water. The whole country has a fever.

Well done rev.

He probably saved him because he thought he might be able to get just a little more tax money out of him. Good ol' "tax hike mike".

Maybe he can administer first aid to Juan McWar after he gets beaten in the general election like a Narc at a Hell's Angel's convention.

There was only one candidate on either side worth voting for this year, and Huckabee was not that candidate.

I lived in AR when Huck was Govenor. I didn't vote for him then and still would never vote for him…unless he switches parties….. But, he's a good man. I really like the guy.

WTG Huck!!

God Bless You!!

I completely disagree with about 90% of the man's politics, but Huckabee truly seems like a stand-up guy with his heart in the right place. I wouldn't want him running my country, but I'd happily sit down to dinner and a conversation with the man…in fact, after reading this story, I'd recommend it! Hehehe…

Huckabee for Obama's V.P.

obama invented by oprah

Don't give me this crap. the fact that the guy gave someone the heimlich does not qualify him to be the vice president.
And saying he has good judgment?
The guy thought that AIDS patients should be quarantined!

Of course Obama went golfing. He wasn't invited to the speech.

BTW - what is the historical precedence of an opposing candidate helping to pay off another candidate's campaign debt? I never heard of such a thing.

Too bad cnn closes comments so quickly.

Great work Huckabee — to stay on topic.

First off i must say that i'm not a republican. I support Barack Obama. But if I had a preference of a Republican candidate, I would have to say that I think that Huckabee is much better suited. but its too late, and not really relevant anymore…anyway i just wanted to put in my two cents and say he seemed like a really great guy…

Obama 08!

Don't agree with the man's policies, but I've heard him speak and he's at least a nice, genuine, funny guy.

Obama in 08!

Finally a republican who knows something about healthcare!!!

ya better hope he can do the Heimlich on the rest of the republican party.

Pittenger won't win, anyway. North Carolina's executive offices belong to the Democrats and have for years, surprisingly enough.

Huckabee should be VP because he performed the Heimlich on someone? Sounds like we should start looking at EMTs for potential running mates.

Evolution isn't just for Democrats, Huckster.

Spiritualy saved and physically saved!! Good thing your know the life saving methods. I've seen the same thing done in restaurants during emergency. It is a goood skill for other to acquire. It may save a loved one, friend or even a stranger.

Thank you Mr. huckabee.

i really remember to see same story in media about a year ago!!!
just different setup.

Mr. Stapp

Who has a 11 percent approval rating that is lower than the Presidents and what promises have the democrats delivered on since they took over. Do your homework on the economy, gas prices, housing market, oil,and stock market. I thought if they got power in the senate and house hope and change would be the rule of the day? Looks like things have really gone down hill since they took over except for the fact we are winning in iraq. Hope is not a method!

I'm not sure how you can make a negative comment on a story about someone helping a person who was choking. But then I always underestimate the hatefulness of some in this country.

Who believes Barry really severed his ties with his 20+ year tenure friends? I expect we'll see Rev. Wright giving the eulogy on Inauguration Day, with Rezko picking up the tab for the State dinner.

Way To Go Mike!!!!!
What a guy!

Huckabee for Attorney General!

Awww

Huckabee for VP! Who knows, maybe he could be saving john mccain's life on day……you never know!

Are there any Republicans who can swallow food without choking?

Way to go Huck! Hope you become the VP!

Huck is a good man. Too bad he is a republican.
There is a mismatch between his character and the party he belongs to.

Heimlich's, Obama/rifle jokes, this man will do anything for some spotlight. He's just a random type of guy.

I can't beleave that Cnn new would report anything nice or good about anyone besides Obama. You can't fool us folks we know you have been unfairly ragging and trashing the Clinton's name for weeks. I time for all you haters and Obama name caller's to go back under your rocks the show over till fall. Watch out Mr. McCain your next on their little name trashing game.

To the medical student who is not a believer: You said that most people who are choking don't need the Heimlich. So! Then they don't get one. This person did and did.

I believe that the Heimlich maneuver has changed its name to the stomach thrust because Dr. Heimlich distanced himself from it a couple of years ago.

Mr. Huckabee certainly has presence of mind to be able to do something like that in such a distracting setting. Why would anyone think it's a publicity stunt when Huckabee is not running for office? It doesn't help the other person's publicity.

Mr. Huckabee, save your move for McCain because he will be choking come November.

To I'm not a believer,

You're such a fool. Oh, you saved a life so Mike Huckabee can't? Is that what you're saying?

Wait a minute, you said Most people who are choking don't need the Heimlich"

So, then what you basically said was, it is possible that this person DID need the Heimlich or it at least helped him.

From Day 1 when Hillary was telling lies and became a "drama queen" to win votes, my daughter decided NEVER to listen to any of Hillary's talks. And guess what, I was proud that she did not listen to Hillary's belated speech on Saturday! I remain proud of this daughter of mine; she is a woman of integrity.

Why did he start chocking?

Did he see Gov. Huckabee coming with a gun?

Bad jokes are hard to forget, no matter how much good you do…

I am fed up with my party. I am wondering how McCain will win with the Dems flying high on victory. We need to make up our minds if we want to lose now or lose later…

From Day 1 when Hillary was telling lies and became a "drama queen" to win votes, my daughter decided NEVER to listen to any of Hillary's talks. And guess what, I was proud that she did not listen to Hillary's belated speech on Saturday! This 52-year-old man remains proud of this daughter of his; she is a woman of integrity.

Good for huckabee. He knows how to keep a good republican canidate going. What it proved is that huckabee made a decision , recognized the problem and put a solution in place and solved the problem. I wonder what Obama would have done,ask if there was a doctor in the house. Action not talk soves problems . anybody can talk a good game but can they perform under pressure. If the media would tell the truth that is why Obama lost to hillary in the debates. Even an untrained eye like mine could see the doubt in his face and then the stuttering and stumble words would begin. If the media had not insisted on hillary always going first he would never have been able to give an intelligent answer.

Good job Huck. Maybe you can keep McSame from choking in November???

Is this true or is it publicity to get Huck out of his rut

I was at the luncheon and Governor Huckabee was truly amazing! He calmly stepped up and saved this gentleman from choking and then, just sat back down like he had done nothing special! On top of that, his speech was dynamite!!! The crowd was wild for him, gave him a standing ovation and just kept on clapping….. What a pumped up group!!! Was worth the 8 hours I drove to see him..would have gone twice as far!!! He did Senator McCain proud. Was such a fine spokesperson for McCain! It is clear NC (and SC) LIKES MIKE!! I talked to many people there and they ALL want Mike on the ticket with McCain. McCain/Huckabee'08…..priceless!!!!!

Love it! Helps someone and doesn't show off as others would of. He's a very decent man.

Way to honor the Huckabee name. At one point I knew how I was related to Mike, but I have since forgotten. Either way, his policies scare the cr@p outta me, but his personality is absolutely wonderful. Glad he was there to help out.

Good work Mike!

Way to go Mike!
Huckabee is McCain's best choice for VP for so-o-o-o many reasons!

McCain/Huckabee '08

Good… John McCain could use a medic as a running mate… just in case he chokes on something… maybe one of his GOD AWFUL speeches.

Obama/Huckabee 08!!!

Good… John McCain could use a medic as a running mate… just in case he chokes on something… maybe one of his GOD AWFUL speeches.

Obama/Huckabee 08!!! <<<<<<<<<<<<ANYONE BUT BILLARY!!!

Mike,

I'm happy to see you still got it. Keep up the good work. I agree that everybody needs to know how to administer CPR, Heimlich, and other simple but effective life saving techniques. I bet the man you saved is glad you were paying attention to the instructor that day.

From one American to another. Good Job!
