Mike Huckabee is a nut.
The story referenced describes how he has affirmed, in public, the belief that women are to be submissive to men. And this is the same guy who once said gay people should be put in concentration camps (or so I'm told--his actual statement was for quarantine, but that's still pretty bad). How this medieval cretin is even getting consideration is one reason I refuse to identify as a Republican, despite the fact that my personal views on issues I consider important better reflect the Republican platform (but remember, my hot-button issue is free trade).
It's no wonder I've voted Libertarian in the last two elections, despite not really liking them, either.
