Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee warned members of his party that any attempt to undermine presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama by "demonizing" him would backfire.
"The Republicans will make a fundamental, if not fatal mistake, if they seek to win the election by demonizing Barrack Obama," Huckabee told reporters in Tokyo. "Don't underestimate the extraordinary, substantive moment that Barack Obama's nomination represents in our country."
You know when the Huckster is the one making sense, things aren't looking so good for the Repubs.
Since I'm blogging about American politics, check out this doozie: Muslim wearing head scarf denied seat at Obama rally. The reason given for not having her sitting in the audience behind him? "A sensitive political climate" in the words of a volunteer. This all boils down to the fact that Dems talk the talk but don't walk the walk because they are, let's face it, scared. Scared of alienating the unwashed masses, scared of losing those votes and the support of people sitting on the fence, who paranoidly think Muslims are terrorists. Dems talk about unity across cultures and tolerance but in the end, running a campaign is like running a business and they can't ruin their carefully constructed image.
