...heavily Baptist electorate. For weeks, the two men have praised each other's talents and made common cause against their well-funded adversary, Mitt Romney. No more: Romney has diverted resources from South Carolina to Michigan, where he hopes to revive his wounded campaign with a primary win on Jan. 15. "It's not that we don't recognize that we are competing for the same job," Huckabee said of McCain. "But I think we also recognize that it can be done in a civil manner. And we are both committed to that...
...Jan. 8, Huckabee's South Carolina chairman, the state's former Governor, David Beasley, stood behind Huckabee as he celebrated his third-place finish in New Hampshire. In an interview afterward, Beasley argued that Huckabee could be an unstoppable force, marrying his populist momentum from Iowa with an Establishment tie to the state as a fellow Southern Governor. "McCain will get a small bump," Beasley said of the Arizona Senator's New Hampshire win. But, he predicted, it would not be enough. In 2000 Beasley backed another Southern Governor, George W. Bush, in a triumph over McCain. Eight years later...
Since you acknowledge that Person of the Year Vladimir Putin has distinguished himself by "choosing order before freedom," I wonder why you didn't select President George W. Bush a third time for his choosing safety from terrorism before terrorists' rights [Dec. 31, 2007-Jan. 7, 2008]. No, TIME would much rather recognize a virtual dictator for his supposed achievements: violently suppressing dissent, crushing the free press and leading a regime that has been accused of murdering opponents and expropriating private property for the state. On the other hand, TIME loves to natter on about how Gitmo...
Like Jamil Hamad, I too bemoan the changes that have transformed Bethlehem [Dec. 31, 2007-Jan. 7, 2008]. I do so as a former Israeli soldier who had the honor of guarding the Church of the Nativity when the city was still under Israeli control. But I take issue with a number of subtle insinuations in Hamad's article. He was critical of the security checkpoints, but since the city is no longer under Israeli control, why should the crossing into Israel be different from those between the U.S. and Canada or Mexico, for instance? Hamad also...
Thank you for your farewell to The Scooter, Phil Rizzuto [Dec. 31, 2007-Jan. 7, 2008]. After I read the piece and took in the photo from his days on the field, it was clear to me that Scooter was key to my love of the game of baseball. Although I grew up in New York after his playing days were over, he was with me every game from his broadcast booth. He shared his take on the plays, but even more important, he shared his enthusiasm, which was 100%. His coverage was clearly biased--he loved...
