On this issue, here are the comments of Mike Huckabee himself;
I was very disturbed by a column by Robert Novak that quoted some “anonymous source” in saying that while I strongly supported Senator McCain, I thought that maybe America “deserves Obama,” as if to say that I secretly hoped he won.
Where do people dream up this stuff? Forget the “anonymous” sources—there’s nothing anonymous about my stand and here it is. We don’t “deserve” Obama—we DESERVE a President with the character, convictions, experience, and wisdom to see the problems we face and try to lead us to solve them. We deserve a President who truly loves this country and from whom there is no doubt as to his respect for Faith, Family, and the kind of Freedom that those before us have given their lives to pass on to us. John McCain meets that criteria and that’s why I am campaigning for him and not hoping for Obama. The nonsense that I want Obama to win this year so I can run in 2012 is absurd. I love my country more than my own ambition. So let the record and truth be clear. And let the “anonymous” sources either show the courage to stand up and be accountable for their comments or shut up and leave commentary to people who aren’t afraid of their own shadow.

I am really, really surprised at McCain’s choice of campaign buddies (chuckle).
Remember——as he departed the race a major loser, Rooty Giuliani endorsed McCain and famously said he would willingly campaign by McCain’s side.
To date, the only place Rooty has surfaced was in St Pat’s during the Pope’s visit-——being revived after choking on a Communion host.
Rooty was not even at Ground Zero Papal ceremonies. I guess Rooty was too weak to attend (/sarc).
McCain should consider campaigning with his good friend Rooty Giuliani by his side. They make a great team. The RINO and the Reconquistador.......ROTFL.
