Democrats will say that Huckabee researched the guy for years and decided himself that he was a good christian man showing that Huckabee hates kittens. While Republicans will claim he had no clue about him and was forced by Democrat moles in his office.

That covers the bases, but Independents deliver elections these days.

From what I've gleaned, Huck has a history of favoring clemency for those who have written to him personally. He didn't let 1033 felons loose based on advice from advisers, or anybody else. He's what I would call a pathological Christian. He can't help himself. What's that? You found Jesus, and you're sorry? Well ok then, off you go. Who am I to judge?
He ignored vehement pleas from the prosecutors of both the DuMond and Clemens cases, and as a result, five people are now dead.
That the fact that he's blaming it on "The System", just goes to show what a coward he is truly is. When you screw the pooch as bad as he has, you need to own it, and admit your mistake. At the very least, he could whip out some "I'm not perfect, just forgiven" bumper sticker philosophy to soothe the base, (I've got five bucks that says he'll do something to that effect in the next two weeks, any takers?).
For the record, as a personal savior, I'm all about forgiveness. The thing is, it's not for everyone. Anyone who can't figure that out, has no place in the White House, or a Governors mansion, regardless of their party affiliation.
