presidential pick in 2012 should not be laughed off or ridiculed . Huckabee ’ s base will be the same conservative white voters who turned out in record numbers to put Bush over the top twice in 2000 and 2004 . They haven ’ t gone away .

I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven ’ t voted sooner to end this holocaust in America .
