Suspect that either: a)depends on the time of day, or b) freepers keep their hands (mouths) shut when the comments aren't on their side, and then chime in when they do. Sort of leads to lopsided threads, both ways. More should be such as this one, with a fair amount of comments for both sides.
For the record, agree that badmouthing Huckabee is bad taste. His running was completely legitimate. If McCain had to work a teensy bit harder, then that might just toughen him up for the big fight against the Democrat nominee.
That's what I thought. And, no matter what gets pinned on Huckabee, compared to any Democrat, or especially an Arkansas Democrat, he is so clean he squeaks!.
