"Understanding"

Understand this -- Mike Huckabee is where Mitt Romney had hoped to be. He won the first contest, he's competing in South Carolina, he's raising money online. And the guitar-playing southerner has taken his pitch to an unlikely state ... Michigan.

He has a new television ad up in Michigan today called "Understanding" ... Features this whopper of a line: "I'm Mike Huckabee, and I approved this message because I believe most Americans want their next president to remind them of the guy they work with, not the guy who laid them off."

We elected (and I voted for twice) a President who was described as "someone you could get a beer with." That hasn't turned out so well.

So, an informal poll - how many people really want a President they could get a beer with versus a President who looks and acts like someone who should be running a country?

Unfortunately Scott, it was ever thus and will remain so.
