Huck Chucks One — And Misses

ABC News’ Kevin Chupka Reports: Outside a polling place in Detroit this morning, Janet Huckabee lay in wait at the end of the rope line. In her hands, three snowballs with her husband’s name on them.

As the press around Mrs. Huckabee took notice, the former Arkansas governor’s staff started clearing the way to give her a clean shot at her husband.

Then — Pop! Pop! Pop! — three snowballs, all direct hits on Mike Huckabee’s left side. It took him by surprise but he quickly found his own ammo and fired back missing his wife and spraying his staff and members of the press corps with snow. Eventually he landed one on Mrs. Huckabee’s coat, but not before she got a couple more shots at the governor. The two eventually embraced and called a truce. 

"Haven’t done that since we were kids," the governor chuckled.

Then it was back on the bus and off to the airport for a charter to warmer climates – South Carolina, where the Republican candidate informs us we can expect sleet, snow and freezing rain. 

Perhaps we’ll see a rematch below the Mason Dixon.
