Oklahoman To Huckabee: Buzz Off

The Oklahoman says Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee probably "will win few friends and influence no one who supports (Attorney General Drew) Edmondson or is undecided in the attorney general's race" with his criticism of Edmondson for his "aggressive stance on scenic river pollution" last week.

Huckabee's visit to Tulsa and Oklahoma City to "boost his own presidential bid and trash" Edmondson, the editorial says, was political: "He's a lame duck who has an eye on the White House. As a conservative Republican, he conceivably would run well in Oklahoma. But he hurts his chances by failing to support actions that most Oklahomans want to restore quality to the water of its most scenic river."
