Huckabee Says Lieberman Would Be "Disastrous" VP Pick Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said pro-life Republicans like himself would not not take too kindly to Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) as a running mate for John McCain. "Let's be honest with each other. It would be disastrous choice because, first of all, it's going to alienate many people in the Republican Party, particularly the conservative pro-life, pro-family base," said Huckabee, the last active candidate to win a Republican primary against McCain. 16 comments

Huckabee Helps Choking NC Candidate with Heimlich
Is this what they mean by "compassionate conservatism?" According to the AP: "Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee put the squeeze on a politician at the North Carolina Republican Party convention. The former Arkansas governor performed the Heimlich maneuver on Robert Pittenger, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, at a lunch Saturday. Pittenger said he was laughing when he choked on some food." Saving lives is, apparently, all in a day's work. 5 comments
