I thought Clinton's totally lacked energy and enthusiasm and didn't come close to Edward's and Obama's in capturing the democratic mood at this point 7 yrs into Bush/Cheney. Huckabee's talk could be summed up by his slogan banner shown behind him "I Like Mike" - good for a high school student council race but not leader of the world's only superpower. As far as his compassion, he ran ads in Iowa critizing Romney for not executing more people while governor. This of course is his attempt to deflect criticism of his pardoning a serial rapist who went out and killed/raped again - he released the guy based on insane clinton conspiracy rumors (clinton having put the guy away). > But Obama totally hit it out of the park.
