Opportunity Knocks; Huckabee Answers
Governor Mike Huckabee, already scheduled to be the keynote speaker at New Hampshire's largest GOP gathering this weekend, has agreed to fill in at another GOP event after Governor Mitt Romney abruptly cancelled. Romney cancelled his planned appearance at the Nashua GOP "Steakout" yesterday, leaving event organizers scrambling.
''Somehow we have to keep on trucking and keep these 120 people happy," Sandra Ziehm, the event's organizer, said yesterday, referring to the people who have already purchased tickets to the fund-raiser. ''I'll think up some good jokes and stand on my head."
In discussing Romney's change of plans, Ziehm said, ''I can't imagine he would do this on purpose -- it certainly is not healthy for him. I have to go on good faith that he has had some kind of conflict beyond his control that he thinks is serious enough to risk alienating all these people."
Folks, I can tell you now that Mike Huckabee will charm the pants off of these people and he will make the most of this opportunity.
