Here I come to save the day!
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee called FRED Thompson Mighty Mouse in an interview with CNN.
It’s what we might call the ‘Mighty Mouse’ candidacy,” former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Monday while campaigning in Concord, New Hampshire’s capital city. “You know: ‘Here I come to save the day.’ And in the end voters are not necessarily looking for Mighty Mouse to fly in — they are looking for somebody who stands their ground and goes the distance.”

[…] While many think last night’s CPC was the empty chair debate with the GOP faithful waiting for FRED (or as Mike Huckabee likes to call him - ‘Mighty Mouse’) to save the day, I think it may have been a very pivotal night for the GOP field.

FRED will get the most and Rudy McRomney will get the majority of the balance which will leave very little opportunity for the rest of the field. […]
