Mike Huckabee has some kind words for the Clintons. Of particular interest, the socially conservative candidate says this:

Just let's not let it get lost on us that they kept their marriage together. They raised a magnificent daughter. Chelsea is truly a delightful human being. ... She's polite, thoughtful, intelligent and everything you would hope a daughter to be. But they kept their marriage together.

And a lot of the Republicans who have condemned them and talk about their platform of family values, interestingly, didn't keep their own families together. Give Bill and Hillary Clinton credit for doing something we say they should have done and that is hold their marriage together in spite of enormous trials.

Maybe that could be interpreted as a dig against Rudy Giuliani, but I'm thinking it was aimed at least in part at Newt Gingrich.
