As everyone knows who didn't sign up here yesterday, I don't favor Mike Huckabee, but try to imagine her reporting that breakfast meeting that way with President Clinton, Michelle Obama or some other Democrat with health issues or a weight problem.

His much discussed diet — he famously lost more than 100 pounds after being diagnosed with diabetes in 2003 and wrote a book about eating right — is apparently on hiatus....

Actually, there was some talk at the time that he had an operation to remove a section of intestine, which was how he lost weight.

Easier than dieting.

It’s not whether he wants to. I think he does. It’s whether a guy with a Dukakis clemency problem worse than Mike Dukakis’ has a realistic chance of winning.

If he were running, he would be losing weight and not eating breakfasts like that. I remember the line from Haley Barbour which went “If I suddenly start losing a lot of weight, I am either running for President or dying of Cancer”. I noticed that Newt has been getting slimmer lately.

He shouldn’t want to be.

Only a handful of dipsticks will support him and barely more will support Romney or Huntsman.

Just doing the Huck-A-Buck.

What suckabee wants does not matter,It is what we want that matters.

I’m surprised Huckabee had such negative things to say about the primary debates. Sure it wasn’t easy for candidates to fight for airtime on such a crowded stage, but still: Huckabee made his candidacy in ‘07-’08 through his debate performances. Without those primary debates, he never would have won Iowa. Curious...
