Says subsidized abortions were required by a court order in MittCare. [ Me: Not exactly. Only medically necessary abortions.]He then defends Reagan’s principles. Again, everyone is doing fine and no one is being aggressive with their opponents. Thompson jumps in — a bit forcefully. He says Huckabee’s campaign is claiming the Reagan Coalition is over and directly says Huckabee stands for liberal economic and foreign policy and reels through the list. (Throws in the NEA endorsement for good measure.) WOW. “That’s the model of the Democratic party.” Gets round of applause. Huckabee makes a joke and gets a laugh and then goes back to his record. (Do you get the sense Romney is no longer the center of the action?)
