Contrast this level of response to Huckabee's comments (story at Elect Romney in 2008--Huckabee's Lack of Intellectual Ease):
This excerpt is from USA Today:
Commenting on the Bhutto assassination, Republican Mike Huckabee said in Orlando today that the United States should be “trying to ascertain who’s behind it, and what impact does it have on whether or not there’s going to be martial law continued in Pakistan.”
Martial law was lifted about two weeks ago, leading some to wonder if Huckabee knew that.
And this from Marc Ambinder at TheAtlantic.com:
It’s not the mistake itself that will raise eyebrowses — it’s Huckabee’s lack of intellectual ease, his lack of felicity, with foreign policy at a critical moment when everyone is paying attention.
Mitt Romney, for example, may have the same degree of experience, but he’s boned up and is much more comfortable answering complicated questions about foreign policy.
Both Romney and Huck may have been governors. Yet, as Ambinder points out a night-and-day difference between the men's abilities. Mitt is prepared. Huck ain't. Whom do you want?
