The idea that hyper-political people are all mindless drones whose opinions always align with our parties and only for partisan reasons has been thrown around here several times over the last few months. I usually don't address it, because the thought irritates me too much to have a dispassionate discussion.
But I cannot help but quote this particular line, and reference this morning's post by
Jonathan Martin at Politico:
Quote:
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Thursday that Sen. John McCain made a “huge mistake” by even discussing canceling the presidential debate with Sen. Barack Obama.
<snip>
Huckabee said he still backs McCain’s candidacy, but said the Arizona senator should not have put his campaign on hold to deal with the financial crisis on Wall Street. He said a president must be prepared to “deal with the unexpected.”
“You can’t just say, ‘World stop for a moment. I’m going to cancel everything,”‘ Huckabee said.

Having lived in Arkansas for two years while he was governor I am getting a good chuckle out of the idea of Huck as a partisan Democrat.
