Huck Rising
November 21, 2007 9:23 AM
On Good Morning America this morning (WATCH HERE) we took a look at the surge in Iowa of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who is now tied for first there with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
READ MORE HERE … more later on World News with Charles Gibson.
One other note: in the spirit of the Thanksgiving Holiday I asked the once obese Huck -- who went through a memorable weight-loss of about 110 pounds a few years ago -- whether Turkey Day posed a temptation. "I'm just not as, I guess, maybe focused on wanting to overeat," he sad. "And, you know, some of the things that I used to just couldn't stop eating, I don't have the desire for them now.
So it's not as difficult as it would have been years ago." Huck said he'll "have a nice meal on Thanksgiving, but I probably won't just gorge myself, and I won't eat sugar desserts, and I won't eat anything fried.
" No unbuckling the belt, post-feast, in a food coma? "Oh, my gosh, I hope not," he said. "I'm actually hoping to go out and get a nice, long run in Thanksgiving Day and try to make up for whatever I do eat."
Now that is dedication.

Jeez, whole lot of substance these mainstream media articles feed Americans. I wish they would have gone really deep in their interview so as to ascertain Huckabee's favorite non-sugar dessert, that would have really given the article a "political punch".
