Mike Huckabee pardoned the Washington cop killer, who, it also turns out, is charged with child rape.
The single most riveting moment of the 2008 GOP nomination contest was Huckabee's press conference on the eve of the Iowa caucuses. Following Romney attacks on Huckabee's pardons, Huckabee defended them with a passion that no Democrat would dare muster. He proceeded to compare his pardons with the ones that Romney didn't give, which made his presentation even more powerful.
Now Palin has license to turn his strength into a weakness (if he runs; he claimed he wasn't this morning). That's a shame; the willingness to pardon was one of the few admirable things about Mike Huckabee's record as a public servant.

Four officers are dead, and you're calling Huckabee's pardons "admirable things"?
How about the girl who was raped by the criminal Huckabee let go - was that "admirable" also?

Exactly why it was Sarah Palin's lucky day! And Mitt Romney's too, but not as much. There's a reason GOP candidates advertise on "Law and Order." That's where their voters are.
