Former presidential contender's book tour stops at ND.

BY ERIN BLASKO

SOUTH BEND — Bob Moore was enthusiastic about Mike Huckabee long before the Republican presidential candidate arrived on the national scene in 2007, charming his party's base with his strong commitment to conservative values and moderates and even liberals with his "aw, shucks" persona.

He was quick to point that out Tuesday, shortly after meeting the former Arkansas governor at a promotional event at the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore.

"I've read all of his books except the one that just came out," the Goshen man said, adding that that was only because his wife refused to put it down.

Huckabee visited the university to promote that book, "A Simple Christmas: Twelve Stories that Celebrate the True Holiday Spirit."

"I like his compassion for simple people," the Louisville native said, "and that he's not a big Washington politician, he's a down-to-earth guy who has the best interests of the people and country in mind, as opposed to his political career."

Exactly.

Schmuckabee timed this to compete against Sarah's big return.

He's so pathetic.

Can you imagine walking up to a bookstore, and seeing some excitement thinking that Sarah is on her way over only to see Huckster sitting there?

Ugh, what a bad thought that is.

The three easiest way for a used car salesman to gain power
is to become a preacher, a politician or get a TV show.

Well, Land o Goshen!

If he has the best interests of the people in mind, he WON’T have any further political career.

That would indeed be a let down...However I would use it as an oppurtunity to ask him a million questions about just to piss him off.

Mike Huckabee you are a fraud. You have always been a fraud. Leave the political arena now. Try flipping hamburgers at McDonald’s for a living. Oh, and come clean about your gastric bypass too.

Huckabee was so compassionate he let out a killer from an Arkansas prison 50 years early on his sentence, and now this killer is the suspect in the WA murder of 4 police officers today.

Stick a fork in Huckabee's fried squirrel. He's done.

Huckabee, move to a desert island for the rest of your life. And leave the rest of us alone.
