I'm thinking this may not play well in the blue states. I have a friend who worries that Huckabee may be another Jimmy Carter; this doesn't sound like Jimmy Carter. From
TimesOnline: "Asked whether the American commanders on the scene were right in not attacking the Iranian boats, Mr Huckabee said he backed their decisions, before warning Iran: "Be prepared, first, to put your sights on the American vessel. And then be prepared that the next thing you see will be the gates of Hell, because that is exactly what you will see after that."
