Ata boy, Huckabee! Why? He’s praising Obama and telling his fellow Republicans to watch their step:

Former GOP presidential contender Mike Huckabee called Barack Obama’s candidacy “a landmark achievement” Tuesday, and warned fellow Republicans not to demonize Obama. “Republicans will make a fundamental if not fatal mistake if they seek to win the election by demonizing Barack Obama,” Huckabee told reporters…

Huckabee praised the country for getting “to a point where we did not see his color but we truly saw his charisma, his message and what he brought to the campaign trail.”

“When people are really hurting — and they are right now — they’re not looking at a person’s race,” he added.

Huckabee said he hopes John McCain beats Obama, but that Republicans should focus on policy differences, not race.

Every once in a while someone you think is a bit off their rocker manages to surprise you with their levelheadedness.
