Campaign trail update

In a bold move, Republican Presidential aspirant and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee came out today against the intense media coverage of the death of Anna Nicole Smith. Running thus far on a platform of weight loss and marathon participation, Huckabee obviously sees an opportunity to be a first-mover on this issue. In addition, having already been referred to as "Huckleberry" in the Iowa press, this timely move could underscore the seriousness of his campaign.

Rumors that other candidates are now developing their Anna Nicole Smith positions have not yet been confirmed.
