Huckabee: Character issues apply to GOP, too

Here's another report (on MSNBC.com) re. the Huckabee conference call. ("Huckabee: Character issues apply to GOP, too" - MSNBC.com) Perhaps the writer needed to add some sizzle to the report or was trying too hard to be succinct, but having heard the exchange live, I can say this characterization of the question and answer about his book is off base.

"Huckabee denied that the book showed he was not taking his presidential campaign seriously, and said there was little work he did in updating the book."

There wasn't a contentious question or statement in the entire call (take that as you wish), and gee, when's the last time that a candidate wrote a book (much less re-released one) a year out from the first primary?

(NOTE: There are some excellent resources on this page for researching the 2008 field)
