...rush up the ice, but the sea sort of parted in front of me.”On a Crimson team full of dynamic scoring threats, opposing teams often overlook Cahow, a defenseman.

Claiming to have made the decision against airing the ad just moments earlier, Huckabee appeared surprised that anyone would see the move as a cynical - if not hypocritical - maneuver. But given the mores of the national political press, the surprise move and its unclear motivations seem certain to dominate the news cycle heading into New Year's, providing the wrong kind of press for Huckabee...
