Thanks to Ken for pointing this out.

Has it been a little while since you've heard a prominent African American personality  in the mainstream media going on and on for ten minutes about how much he respects and likes a Republican candidate. It's been a while, right?  You'd have to go back to ... nineteen ninety never. This is another example of why Huckabee is the best thing to happen to the Republican Party since Reagan. He can expand the Republican Party ... without the party compromising on conservative values.

The Republican Party with him in a leadership position has the ability to close the stupid racial gap that was initiated by the "southern strategy" and by the segregationist Democrats switching parties and gaining influence in the GOP. And in addition, the other guy from Hope is no longer regarded to be officially black anymore. The GOP has an opportunity and I hope they make the long-term commitment to fix the issue. Huckabee understands how to reach across the racial divide and build bridges that need to be built.

Tavis says so many positive things about Huckabee (with a couple obligatory swipes at Republicans that are sort of required in the MSM) that I can practically imagine him posting on Huck's Army.
