About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Huckabee's plan to secure the border? "Two words: Chuck Norris."

Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee launched his first ad on Sunday, watch it here:




“We want to show that running for president is serious business. But a person ought to have fun doing it,” Huckabee said.

However, Huckabee has been criticized for making his first ad humorous. Good point--after watching the ad (and laughing) I am less inclined to take him seriously. However, it's probably the only political ad I will forward to friends, and it's bound to be popular among the YouTube crowd. We'll see if the trade-off of professionalism for such a wide distribution is worth it...

I loved it. As a political conservative, I find it funny. But I'm laughing at him, not with him.

Someone once wrote that the only way Huckabee will ever gain notoriety is if he put back on the pounds that he lost.
