The Huckabee Maneuver
June 09, 2008 7:05 AM
At the North Carolina GOP convention breakfast Saturday, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee performed the Heimlich Maneuver on choking Lt. Governor candidate Robert Pittenger.
Huckabee, the keynote speaker, was sitting next to Pittenger when he noticed the North Carolinian wasn't able to breathe. The former GOP presidential hopeful performed the Heimlich Maneuver on Pittenger, dislodging the obstructing foodstuff.
Huck tells ABC News it's the third time he's saved someone from choking using the Heimlich.
"I was trained as an EMT while in college and have had to use it before," he emails. "It's a very simple procedure that everyone ought to learn, especially if they have kids."

Whats this? No snide elitist liberal remarks? Maybe I'm just reading this too early.

A good way to save thousands of lives is to elect Obama and end the war in Iraq.

If John McCain selects Mike Huckaby as his running mate, he CANNOT lose.
If Barry Obama selects Hillary Clinton as his running mate, he CANNOT win.

Bravo Mike Huckabee, and how wonderful to hear a positive, motivational story without political implications. Just an alert and good person. I hope many people take his words to heart and learn the Heimlich.

Good for Mike and he's right - everyone should know this simple way to save someone's life.
