Huckabee: Had I known I was running for president, I'd have lied to you earlier

An amazing admission.

Scrutiny of Mike Huckabee's time in Arkansas continues today with the report that during his years in the governor's mansion, Huckabee denounced the embargo against Cuba. Now five years later and running for president, Huckabee praised that same embargo as "an important tool.”

Huckabee acknowledged his shifting views yesterday, saying the change is due to the “simple reality that I’m running for president.” As governor of Arkansas, Huckabee was carrying around 100 extra pounds, and apparently, over 1,000 pardons. Translation: had he known he was going to run for president, he probably would have done a few things differently.
