Go Home Huckabee's Minor Rebellion?

SEPTEMBER 3, 2008

Huckabee's Minor Rebellion?

Unless I some how missed it, this riff was in Huckabee's prepared text, but not delivered:

Maybe the most dangerous threat of an Obama presidency is that he would continue to give madmen the benefit of the doubt. If he's wrong just once, we will pay a heavy price.

The ommission seems like more than an honest mistake. Huckabee has worked hard to cultivateĀ his happy warrior persona. Is it possible that heĀ just refused to mouth a line a McCain operative stuck in over his objections?

P.S. Please correct me if I'm wrong about the line. It wouldn't be the first time I missed something like that...

well, I noticed at one point during Rudy's repellant speech where he was trashing Obama, when te camera panned to Palin's children, behind whom Huckabee was sitting, that he was the only person not applauding or smiling. I don't  think Huckabee is comfortable with nastiness.
