Yesterday, Fox News host and potential Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee publicly disagreed with his colleague and GOP rival Sarah Palin over First Lady Michelle Obama's campaign to fight childhood obesity, saying, “With all due respect to my colleague and friend Sarah Palin, I think she's misunderstood what Michelle Obama is trying to do.”

From Politico:

Palin has made clear more than once that she sees the first lady's efforts as an overstep by the federal government. Most recently, on the episode of “Sarah Palin's America” that aired Sunday, the former vice presidential candidate dedicated the s'mores her family was making to the first lady. “This is in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert,” Palin said.

Overweight for most of his life, Huckabee lost more than 100 pounds after a 2003 health scare and has since become an advocate for healthy eating and exercise.

“Michelle Obama's not trying to tell people what to eat or not trying to force the government's desires on people,” Huckabee said. “She's stating the obvious, that we do have an obesity problem in this country.”

He added: “The first lady's campaign is on target.”

Looks like the Fox 2012 Primary is alive and well.
