"I don't want to debate theology!"
It may be a while before this appears on the other blog pages of any other radio talk show hosts who contribute to Townhall, but it's worth noting - and objectively speaking - would only be FAIR to note it:
Republican Mike Huckabee Wednesday personally apologized to rival Mitt Romney for comments he made in an upcoming New York Times Magazine article that appear to disparage the Mormon faith.
GOP hopeful Mike Huckabee's campaign says his comments on Mormons were taken out of context.
The former Arkansas governor said he apologized to Romney after the GOP debate in Johnston, Iowa.
"I said, I would never try, ever to try to somehow pick out some point of your faith and make it an issue, and I wouldn't," Huckabee said.
"I've stayed away from talking about Mitt Romney's faith," Huckabee said. "I told him face-to-face, I said I don't think your being a Mormon ought to make you more or less qualified for being a president."
And on Mitt's part...?
"The governor accepted the apology," Romney spokesman Kevin Madden said. "He continues to believe that this campaign should not be about questioning a candidate's faith. While it is fair to criticize an opponent's record or policy positions, it is out of bounds for one candidate to question another's personal faith."
