It’s only fair I give Huckabee some space as well. Can anyone give me an explanation of this line from his Iowa caucus victory speech last night?

Now, ladies and gentlemen, for the same reason that our founding fathers and those before us saw what was behind us and gave it their best, I ask you to join me across Iowa and the rest of America to look out there in front of us and not to hate those, but to look behind us and to love them so much that we will do whatever it takes to make America a better country, to give our kids a better future, to give this world a better leader.

Here’s the audio clip, with credit to Air America’s Rachel Maddow for highlighting this line.
