Huckabee said that in 2002 he was trying to protect the interests of the Arkansas rice farmers. The farmers needed new markets to sell their rice. Now running for President, Huckabee says he has to be more concerned with what is in the best interest of the country, not just one state. It is a flip flop but it seems understandable.

He's a nice enough guy, but he gave clemency to so many more criminals than the 3 previous governors combined, it makes me wonder about his judgement and his ability to be swayed by others.
