Mike Huckabee has now come out publicly and said that McCain should definitely show up at the debate this Friday.
I think its safe to say these were not the type of quotes McCain wanted to see in the news right now from one of his former presidential primary opponents.
The general popular reaction to McCain's move definitely does not appear to be going the way McCain wanted it to.
http://www.clarionledger.com/a...1/80925024/-1/news0401MOBILE, ALA. ? Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Thursday that Sen. John McCain made a ?huge mistake? by even discussing canceling the presidential debate with Sen. Barack Obama...
Huckabee said Thursday in Mobile that the people need to hear both candidates. He said that?s ?far better than heading to Washington? to huddle with senators.
He said the candidates should level with the people about the financial crisis and say the ?heart of this is greed.?
Huckabee said he still backs McCain?s candidacy, but said the Arizona senator should not have put his campaign on hold to deal with the financial crisis on Wall Street. He said a president must be prepared to ?deal with the unexpected.?
?You can?t just say, `World stop for a moment. I?m going to cancel everything,'? Huckabee said.
