Since we've got links on my blogs now to music by two Democratic presidential candidates, I decided I'd better find a YouTube clip of former Arkansas Gov. and GOP candidate Mike Huckabee's band "Capitol Offense." Huckabee was governor, and thus working in the state Capitol, at the time he formed the band. It performs mostly 1960s and 70s covers. The clip shows him playing the Lynard Skynard hit "Freebird" at a rally in New Hampshire.
Huckabee plays bass guitar, and he clearly enjoys it. I think he deserves credit for playing at all, given his schedule. Here he is sitting in with a high school jazz band in Concord, N.H., and with Mama Kicks, a local band in Londonderry, N.H. Both sound like they've had more time to practice than Capitol Offense. But then their bass players aren't running for president.
