Chip Saltsman Defended By Former Boss Huckabee

On his blog, Mike Huckabee defends former campaign manager Chip Saltsman -- but criticizes personal attacks on President-elect Barack Obama:

Chip should have been more careful in his selection of Christmas gifts, but no one who knows him would ever suggest that he in any way would purposely disparage other people. Chip knows how sensitive such issues are. It shouldn't be the main factor in the RNC race.

The election of Barack Obama is not only historic for our country but it is something all Americans, not just Democrats, should celebrate. As I have said many times the election of Mr. Obama is significant not because of his race or in spite of it, but with indifference to it. He was not my choice for President, but he will be MY President over the next four years and I will support him personally and pray for his success. I will certainly disagree with him at times, but I pledge that my disagreements with him will be over his policy decisions and not aimed at him personally. I ask that all of you will join with me in doing that.

The Republican Party, meanwhile, seems to be headed for a soul-searching in early January, when the National Committee meets for a historic series of discussions and debates.
