Focus on Herman Cain/ Huckabee's Sour Grapes

According to Frank Luntz’s focus group, Herman Cain was the biggest winner at the South Carolina debate.



I was listening to Mike Huckabee's morning commentary, where he teased his audience with a promise to give his opinion of who the biggest winner was in the debate.

When he came back, he said the biggest winners were "those who decided not to participate". Since Mr. Huckabee's name is being bandied about for president, it was disingenuous not to answer the question honestly, or at least try to be a little bit gracious. Instead, his remark sounded petty and small minded, as from someone either fearful of losing the nomination to one of these men, or someone so insecure in his own abilities that he could not or would not give credit where credit was due. (Or both) Either way, the quality doesn't lend itself to being considered presidential. You can't name the biggest winner, Huck? I can name the biggest loser. He not only didn't participate in the debate, but his sour grapes and pettiness bring his judgment into question. Not unlike another incident from his tenure as governor commuting of the sentence of Maurice Clemmons, who later went on to kill four police officers.

Stick to stories about kittens up a tree, Huck and yakking on the radio. A reprise of your failed presidential candidacy will satisfy no one but you.
