Painters Union supports Huck

Question: Are they doing this to support Huck? Or, are they doing this because they think Huck is the most beatable Thuglican?

The 170,000-member International Painters Union endorsed Huckabee, per the governor's statement. About 30% of the union's members are Republicans. This is the first time the union has endorsed a GOP candidate in more 100 years. It is Huckabee's second union endorsement; the first was the Machinist & Aerospace Workers Union.

The Painters union also endorsed Hillary Clinton last month on the Democratic side. Previously the Machinists & Aerospace union also endorsed both Huckabee and Clinton.

By the way, I've now heard any number of people who can't quite remember his name call him "Hickabee." I guess it sort of fits since Huck Finn was sort of a Hick.
