One of the more remarkable and depressing aspects of the Republican presidential contest is how difficult it is for the candidates to talk realistically about Iraq. At the recent New Hampshire debate, when Mitt Romney exhaled a faint puff of skepticism about the surge’s results, John McCain jumped in to stiffen his spine. Those boys are going to white-knuckle this thing through till the end.
It was left to Ron Paul, who has virtually no support, to point out that the Iraq war is a disaster and that the GOP is destroying itself with its catastrophic war policy. Mike Huckabee shot back: “Even if we lose elections, we should not lose our honor, and that is more important than the Republican Party.”
Governor Huckabee and Congressman Paul go head to head on the rebuilding of Iraq.
Following his success at the Iowa straw poll and a four day visit to New Hampshire over the weekend, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has picked up the endorsement of two well known New Hampshire conservatives in his race for president.
Former state Senator Russell Prescott and former Executive Councilor David Wheeler will formally endorse Huckabee later today, the Globe has learned.
