My Supporters Can Beat Up Your Supporters

So I was at the Gym last night, watching the results of the Iowa Caucus…I know, I know, but it wasn’t really by choice mind you- it’s just that the Young Men’s Christian Association that I belong to decided to devout 3 out of their 4 TVs to election coverage (the 4th TV covering men’s basketball- can’t complain about that) instead of covering one of the most important games of the college football season, aka the Orange Bowl.

Anyway, as I was watching Obama and Huckabee earning the nation’s respect instead of Kansas- suffering through speeches by candidates congratulating themselves and their supporters for getting out there and “rockin the vote”..I noticed an interesting, oh so subtle, difference between Senator Clinton and Governor Huckabee- mind you it had nothing to do with their opposing social/political viewpoints.

As Senator Clinton was busy telling her supporters that a 3rd place finish wasn’t that bad, she was accompanied by some of her most trusted supporters on stage- featuring, to her left, her husband, Bill Clinton- former President of the United States of America. To her right was Madeleine Albright, former United States Secretary of State

…and Huckabee?

Well, Huckabee, coming off of his grandiose victory over the devil’s brother Mitt Romney, was celebrating with his supporters as well. As he was up there thanking everyone for their help (God first, of course)…and laying out the plans for his future campaign victories, he too was flocked by his most ardent/key supporters- to his right Chuck Norris, former hawker of the Total Gym, and to his left Christie Brinkley, former co-hawker of the Total Gym…Seriously Huckabee, WTF? These are the people that you want the nation to see that are behind you? Now, I agree that Chuck Norris can kick some serious ass, and Christie Brinkley is still seriously hot, but strangely I don’t really value their political endorsements…Oh, and Chuck- thanks for taking the time to get dressed up for the event, but next time could you at least get the flannel shirt pressed?
