Huckabee: "Wives Submit To Husbands"

By The Daily Dish
Dec 11 2007, 12:10 PM ET

Here's part of the text of a Southern Baptist Convention full-page ad in USA Today in 1998 that Mike Huckabee signed:

"A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ."

The group did not back away from the ad after a media firestorm. It seems to me that Huckabee should be asked if he still stands by that. And if he thinks it applies to Senator Clinton. No wonder the Dems are holding their fire.
