Huckabee's past catches up with him

I am no fan of Mike Huckabee, the GOP presidential candidate from Arkansas.

From the Huffington Post:

"As governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee aggressively pushed for the early release of a convicted rapist despite being warned by numerous women that the convict had sexually assaulted them or their family members, and would likely strike again. The convict went on to rape and murder at least one other woman."

Serial rapist Wayne Dumond became a cause celebré among conservatives because one of his several victims was a distant relative of Bill Clinton.

Newly-found documents, which Huckabee has tried to suppress, show more about the information he had at hand about Dumond's background and the potential threat he posed when he decided to score points with the far right by setting Dumond free.
