The American people, though, want real change and new leadership. Huckabee's not alone, and he may not win the GOP nomination. One thing is clear: whoever wins, a vote for any of the Republican candidates is a vote for a third Bush term.

Mike Huckabee recalls the tale thusly: "At a campaign stop in Michigan yesterday, a woman came up to me and said 'I don't have any money but I want to give you something for the campaign.' Then she reached out to me and gave me a gold ring."
Yesterday I talked about Huckabee's flip-flop on immigration. After his top immigration surrogate claimed he supported a constitutional amendment to deny birthright citizenship -- and after his campaign refused to back away from it -- they later put out a statement reversing his position.

It attributed this information to his "his top immigration surrogate," and fits nicely with his recent sharp right turn on immigration.
