Annals of shameless pandering: Huckabee hears a Who
Heh:
"Who is your favorite author?" Aleya Deatsch, 7, of West Des Moines asked Mr. Huckabee in one of those posing-like-a-shopping-mall-Santa moments.
Mr. Huckabee paused, then said his favorite author was Dr. Seuss.
In an interview afterward with the news media, Aleya said she was somewhat surprised. She thought the candidate would be reading at a higher level.
"My favorite author is C. S. Lewis," she said.
I hope he does not read The Butter Battle Book

That's gotta be the best quote of the campaign so far. What a great line on the kid's part.
Maybe she was a Ron Paul plant. :)
While the above is cute, there's a little more to the story, which I discovered after reading the original NTY article. The paragraph just before the above quote was quite revealing. I cover it here.
Good one, Tige. Have fun in CO, and remember, mid-western boy, it's Co-lo-ra-do, not Ca-la-ra-da. :)

Huckabee panders to a seven year old. And is rebuffed!
