back in october, mitt romney appeared on mike huckabee's fox news channel program, and he told mr. huckabee that he absolutely would support a constitutional amendment establishing the definition of life as beginning at conception. after us asking his campaign to clarify that position repeatedly and him not answering repeatedly, the democratic party then hit him on it through this web ad. and again, mr. romney chose just not to respond. so mitt romney's position, his on the record position to the question of, do you support a life begins at conception constitutional amendment, which is what mississippi voted on yesterday, mitt romney's stated position on the record on that, on tape was the word "absolutely." that constitutional amendment then fails in mississippi by 16 points and the new headline on politico.com today -- wait for it -- "mitt romney says he's being falsely characterized as supporting a proposed amendment to define a fertilized egg as a person." falsely characterized as supporting it? >> would you have supported the constitutional amendment that would have established

against jack conway, sarah palin, mike huckabee and rudy giuliani all giving endorsements in the kentucky attorney generals race to mr. p'pool. with 80% of precincts reporting, jack conway defeated the republican challenge from p'pool, 56% of the vote for conway the democrat and 44% for his republican challenger. in indianapolis, the incumbent republican mayor greg ballard facing a challenge from the democrat named molina kennedy. resul results so far with 87% of precincts reporting, ballard appears to be holding on at this point, 57% of the vote against his democratic challenger with 47% of the vote. in virginia, where republicans already controlled the governor's office and the majority of the house, tonight's races could give them a majority in the state senate as well. until tonight, democrats had a 22-18 majority in the virginia state senate. a net gain of two seats for republicans would flip the senate so they would control

and here's mike huckabee on fox news. by the way, he's a protestant minister, mike huckabee. let's listen to him last night. let's watch. >> it's a serious charge, the allegation is one that could upend his presidential campaign. and i think the reaction that he's had to it, when he said that unlike the harassment charges, which he denied, he said this was a private matter. in essence, he may have given an answer that will be very difficult for him to work himself out of. i think this is the most damaging allegation that has been made to date, no get about it. >> well, mike huckabee just made it more damaging by saying he said something he didn't. it wasn't he, herman cain, who said that it was a private matter, it was his lawyer. he said it was an't a matter at all, it didn't happen. he put the knife in. >> and mike huckabee carries a lot of weight with the christian conservatives and in iowa. and you have this cumulative effect. and whatever the few stragglers still sticking around with herman cain are going to have doubts. and certainly, you know, there may be ideological

[ applause ] >> mike: thank you, everybody. a great enthusiastic audience here in new york. and we welcome you to huckabee from the fox studios in new york city. thanksgiving is a time when we see our families and we see family members that we never see any other time of the year. when i was growing up in hope, arkansas, i had a very special relative who only visited over the holidays. during those annual visits he taught me a lesson that helped make me what i am today. one thing about the holidays that i most look forward to was the annual visit from my uncle garvin. garvin elder was my mother's half brother from her dad's first marriage. and she was -- he was so much older than her that he was kind of like a grandpa to me and my sister. he was an accountant and a life long bachelor are from houston and quite an impressive figure whenever he arrived on the trailways bus. he actually owned stocks and he carried a real leather suit case with travel tags not like the little card board suit case that my family owned but we never us

hilarious voter suppression dirty jokes trick from mike huckabee.egistered democrats in ohio did report getting ro calls saying the. >> hi, i'm calling to remind you that tomorrow is election day. it is critically important that you go vote to protect the future of our country. >> part of the suspense -- i should say, actually, that was totally inexplicable we had a picture of mary cheney along with that full screen there. mary cheney's group, political interest group, is one of the groups involved in the campaigning for the john kasich side of the issue 2 fight. her group was not the one that was associated with that robo call today. i don't know how that picture got there. that was an error. i'm sorry about that. part of the suspense around issue 2 in ohio is that both sides have seemed to understand that polling on ballot initiatives in off-year elections is notoriously incon c collusive. people don't turn out to vote in great numbers in off-year elections. the polling has shown huge majorities of ohio voters wanting to vote against issue 2 and v
