Huckabee backers House Speaker Marco Rubio and Rep. David Rivera spent the day in the Granite State, calling voters and in Rivera's case, receiving a chiding from a police officer.
"I came all the way from Florida to give you this orange," Rivera said, plunging into traffic at a Concord intersection near Huckabee's campaign headquarters. "I'm hoping you'll remember on Tuesday to vote for Gov. Huckabee."
The Concord police officer who cruised by was not amused and admonished Rivera to stick to the sidewalk, where a crush of Huckabee supporters waved signs.
It's bad enough to be campaigning for Huckabee, he who wants women to submit to their husbands and wants to "reclaim America for Crist," and to break the law to do it. But don't you think, maybe, that Florida has some problems of its own to deal with? Like a huge budget problem, a flailing economy, property tax inequalities, a failing education system, etc. You'd think that since these guys were elected to serve Florida that, maybe, they'd serve Florida? It'd be different if they were campaigning here, where they could pull double duty. But, no, pandering to the fundamentalist right from other states is more important than serving your constituents.
I wonder who is more focused on their post-Florida House career than on doing their job?
