Mike Huckabee has recently come under scrutiny, and from several different angles. The Arkansas governor has also been rising in the polls. Last week comments about homosexuality and AIDS that he had made over a decade ago surfaced. Huckabee was in favor of sectioning off AIDS victims to protect the public at large. Apparently that’s still his position because since last week he has defended his statement. I certainly applaud his conviction and his willingness to accept responsibility for his words and actions, though its hard to imagine this position advancing his numbers in the polls.
Just this morning his high rate of pardons is coming to light, over 1000 of them in his decade as governor. Huckabee hasn’t addressed this topic yet, that I know of. I’ll be curious to see his reaction though. The AP painted a picture of Huckabee being free with pardons if he had met the person, or if they had some connection with him.
