Poor Mike Huckabee.
The 2012 Republican hopeful is trying to sell a book and can't get the publicity that Sarah Palin is getting.
Also, Huckabee is winning many polls for the Republican Nomination and yet bemoans the fact that he isn't taken seriously. He tell Politico - "I'm a very serious person. I may not be dour, but I'm serious."
Poor, poor Mike Huckabee. No one feels mores sorry for Mike Huckabee - than Mike Huckabee.
And he can't seem to get his mind off of Sarah Palin. This is the way Politico puts it -
"As Huckabee works his way through a 22-state tour for his new book, “A Simple Christmas,” he knows that he and the book will be almost entirely overshadowed by former Gov. Sarah Palin’s two-week barnstorming tour for her forthcoming memoir.
Palin is the party’s rock star.
Huckabee laments, 'Some of the people who had excoriated me and really been very dismissive of me for views that I had taken, and labeled me anything from a populist to an ignoramus — the same people have been very defensive [of] and laudatory to Sarah Palin."
Poor, poor, poor Mike Huckabee. He also told Politico that he has been trying to get Sarah Palin on his weekly FoxNews Tv show, but she won't return his calls.
There is probably good reason for that. CNN reminds us that the former two-term Arkansas governor has expressed criticism of Palin before, suggesting her abrupt resignation of the Alaska governorship may suggest she's not ready to handle the pressures of a hardscrabble presidential primary campaign.
"If she's looking to be a national political figure, it's not going to get easier," he said in July. "In a primary this is going to be an issue she'll have to face. Will she be able to withstand the pressure?"
That has to be the funniest thing Mike Huckabee has ever said. Does he even realize how ridiculous that sounds. First - Sarah Palin already is a "national public figure." Second - she has already been through a campaign - remember Mike? - she was McCain's running mate Third - "Will she be able to withstand the pressure?" Puh-leazze. This woman has withstood attacks unparalleled in modern politics and she is stronger than ever. Her intestinal fortitude has never been in question - she has never whined like - well - like Mike Huckabee.
This is a good time to point out that Sarah Palin has not attacked or talked negatively about any Republican leaders or potential 2012 candidates - not one.
And yet here is poor, poor, poor, poor Mike Huckabee whining that his book isn't as popular as Sarah Palin's - that he is not defended by the rank and file like Sarah Palin - that he can't get Sarah Palin on his TV show. This all after warning Sarah about how tough it will be on the campaign trail (again, laugh out loud funny).
Someone cue up the Warren Zevon song "Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me" and lets have a pity party of Mike Huckabee - or better yet - let's wait until after the Iowa caucus when his 2012 bid ends. Because this time, Mike, you will have competition in Iowa - and if you don't win there - it's over.
"Poor, poor, pitiful me - poor, poor pitiful me - Sarah Palin is more popular than me - Lord have mercy on me - woe, woe is me."
Poor, poor, poor, poor, poor Mike Huckabee.

YOur falling into the trap of divide and conquer. The supporters of both Governors are of the same quest for this Country. If both run for President in 2012, they will not be as this. We'll leave it to Romney to be such MUdd.
Keep the vision of what is important here, which goes beyond any one person.
RGD makes a point. Plus, the "whining" you talk about is mostly either about business (books, TV shows) or fairly dated. Even so, to put his comments into perspective, please see this from July: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCp8BK5AcTk
I stand by my prediction that Cuda and Huck will not run against each other. One will support the other.

Actually, no, this is the second time, the last was his first book
tour, where he joked about 'shopping for advice' and said the Couric and Gibson interviews were fair. Huck should remember that she was popular till Aug 29th, without a blemish, then everything changed
While Palin is my choice for the top of the ticket in 2012, Huckabee would be a great VP choice. (Fred Thompson would be better but I don't think he would accept being second)
As RGD said, the quest is the same. Take back the WH, Congress and the Senate. we can only do that by being united and not giving in to personal considerations and ambitions. We need someone we can ALL rally around. Someone who knows how to speak to the American people on their own level and in their own language. Sarah has proven that she has the ear of the people and we should all get together and support her. That includes the party and the people in it.
By fair, what one would expect from a liberal media, polite, but totally slanted, fair in a bias sense.
It would seem that anyone who does not support Sarah Palin or anyone who makes a comment that calls into question her ability to stand up to any negative comment is either made a joke or called a liberal. Let's see what happens in 2012. I hear her book is now selling for 11.95.
I hope Mike is not really taking shots at Sarah, but merely trying to be humorous. Right now they should be on the same team to defeat socialized medicine and then defeat the Left in 2010. After that, if they both run for president, they can argue who’s better in the primaries.
Which brings us to what Gov. Huckabee actually ws saying, that he was upset that Sarah was getting all the mudd and he wasn't as they both hold to the same beliefs. That and it is a bit of exposure for the two to be in the medai a lot. We must not react, but be proactive and get ahead of these leftists

Bytes,
I'm confused. How could you possible watch this woman stammering and unable to answer simple questions--and still think you want her in the White House?? What is wrong with having a President who has a clue?
Hi Sarah Palin !
Pour être Président(e) des Etats Unis d'Amérique, il faut d'abord prouver que l'on est Américain.
Personnellement, je ne soutiens pas les 'dirigeant(e)s' qui parlent de 'cadeaux' fait au peuple lorsqu'ils (elles) se contentent de ralentir les coups de fouet.
Je soutiens les farmers qui donnent tous les jours a manger au monde entier.
Je soutiens les scientifiques qui ont fait de longues études pour mériter leur qualité de scientifiques et non celles ou ceux qui se prétendent en savoir autant sinon plus que les scientifiques alors qu'elles ou qu'ils n'ont jamais fait d'études en ce sens ni rencontré en débats publics les scientifiques.
Je soutiens les dirigeant(e)s qui savent gérer le trésor public de la collecte des impôts et qui demandent chaque jour comment s'en servir au mieux pour faire plaisir à tout le monde.
Je soutiens celles et ceux qui savent partager la richesse de chacun pour mieux répandre et répondre à chacun d'eux.
Je soutiens les dirigeant(e)s qui par voies de référendum s'adressent à la nation et font état de transparence des comptes et devoirs et non celles et ceux qui par la dictature imposent et font croire que l'argent a disparu et ne cherchent a le récupérer.
Je soutiens celles et ceux qui refusent de vendre (faire payer) au peuple ce qui est gratuit sur Terre comme l'air, l'eau et la terre qui n'appartiennent à personne mais dont chacun s'en sert en toute Liberté pour vivre.
Je soutiens celles et ceux qui respectent les autres et font que vivre en Paix est la meilleure des choses.
huemaurice7, hope you don't , Here is the translation of what is said in French. Much of what you say, Americans take for granted. HOw bleak it will be when such reality sets in, God Forbid.
When the Law of the Land is ignored in one part, what will stop the ignoring of the rest of the Constitution, trust and honor?
Here is the French translated:
Be President (e) the United States of America, he must prove that they are American.
Personally, I do not support the ' leader (e) if who speak of 'gifts' makes the people when they (they) simply slow whipping blows.
I support farmers giving every day a dining to the world.
I support scientists who have made long-term studies to earn their quality of scientists and not those or those who claim to know as many otherwise more than scientists then they or that they have never been studies in this sense nor met in public debates scientists.
I support the Senior Manager (e) s who can manage the public purse of the collection of taxes and seeking every day how to use the best for rewarding to everyone.
I support those who know share the wealth of each to better spread and respond to each of them.
I support the Senior Manager (e) s who by referendum routes are addressed to the nation and transparency of accounts and duties report versus those and those which by the dictatorship impose and make believe money disappeared and do seek a check it out.
I support those and those who refuse to sell (do pay) to the people what is free on Earth as air, water and soil belonging to anyone but each is in any freedom to live.
I support those who respect others and are living in peace is the best of things.
You tell 'em Sarah! Can't stand those whiney, paranoid, victimy types...LOL
I know for a FACT that
Gov Huckabee is a false prophet and only in it for his own, personal self-engrandeizement. He cannot be trusted.
Protoplasm, are you looking for a prophet? And what makes you call Huckabee false and a profiteer?
Cigar Guy, Thanks to Huck we got McCain the last time around. Like Bob Dole in 1996, McCain is a very honorable man but he was the weakest candidate we could have chosen. We need a true strong CONSERVATIVE Republican in 2012 and Sarah Palin so far meets that criteria.
Price is Right, had Fred Thompson not played the junkyard dog in the South Carolina debate on Huckabee, Mike would have won that State and would have went on to be President today. There was other factors, but McCain was and is very much a Big Government progressive. Many conservatives saw McCain a greater threat then Obama as Obama was visable in his liberalism, where McCain was not. Since, the Big Gov Repblicans have been identified and are being labeled RINOs, Republican In Name Only.
As to Sarah, she is well grounded in conservative values. Her evidence of dealing with Alaska had her cleansing both parties there. What will 2012 birng, it is too early to know, but for present into 2010, Sarah, Mike, MArko, Demint, Michelle, McCotter, are all of the same clothe and we must be united in our saving of this Country, not glorifying one individual. Let the Primary debates bring the cream to the top, like six months before the election.
I like Huckabee. What's the deal Sarah. I don't think you're good for the party girl. Go home and raise your kids.
Hey, I like and respect Huckaby, too. He's smart and savvy, not like you-know-who.
