Huckabee: The only difference between me and Palin is that she looks better in stilettos

... I’m exaggerating. He also concedes that she has better hair. Asked about Sarah Palin, he responded, “She, uh, was an appropriate choice, because she put John McCain back in the game.” That was the get-along answer, but a few minutes later the new, aggrieved Huckabee resurfaced. He recalled, “It was funny that all through the primary—I mean literally up until McCain got enough delegates to win—people said, ‘You know, Huckabee’s really running for Vice-President. Gee, Huckabee would be a great Vice-President.’ And from that day forward, when I actually was no longer running for ...

Huckabee Still Whining About Sarah Palin...
The Jawa Report —
November 25, 2008 Huckabee Still Whining About Sarah Palin... It's clear from this comment that Mike Huckabee still doesn't have the first damn clue why some of us hate him: I was scratching my head, saying, Hey, wait a minute. Shes wonderful, but the only difference was she looks better in stilettos than I do, and she has better hair . It wasnt so much a gender issue, but it was like they suddenly decided that everything they disliked about me was O.K. . . . She was given a pass by some of the very people who said I wasnt prepared. My thoughts on why this is total ...

From this week's New Yorker: Asked about Sarah Palin, he responded, "She, uh, was an appropriate
choice, because she put John McCain back in the game." That was the
get-along answer, but a few minutes later the new, aggrieved Huckabee
resurfaced. He recalled, "It was funny that all through the primary--I
mean literally up until McCain got enough delegates to win--people said,

Palin Tops Zogby Poll

... ordained Southern Baptist minister, and his highest GOP totals still come from Born-Again Christians (15%) and weekly churchgoers (18%), but those numbers are about half of those drawn by Palin. Despite his populist economic message, he wins only 10% of blue collar Republicans.
These kind of numbers so soon after the massive smear job the left and the MSM did on her. Pretty damn good.
Looking at those numbers you can understand why Huck is a bit perturbed:
I was scratching my head, saying, ‘Hey, wait a minute. She’s ...
Huckabee: Palin’s getting more media buzz than me because she’s attractive
Hot Air » Top Picks —
... the same people have been very defensive [of] and laudatory to Sarah Palin,” Huckabee noted, adding that he’d invited her to appear on his weekly Fox show but “could never get any contact.” “I’m glad she’s getting the props — I know I’m not nearly as attractive,” he said with a guileless grin. If pressed on this, no doubt he’ll go into “aw shucks” mode and insist he was merely paying her a compliment, but this isn’t the first time he’s attributed Palin’s appeal to her looks. Remember this from last November? Neither was he quite so unperturbed by the Palin pick: “I was ...
