Huckabee, Imus leave sizzle behind on radio

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is racing to the top of the Republican presidential field. Radio host Don Imus is trying to return from his fall from grace. Both men avoided making waves when they chatted Tuesday morning.

Introducing Huckabee to his new ABC Radio audience, Imus cracked that the formerly obese candidate used to weigh "900 pounds." Huckabee, a Southern Baptist minister, turned a discussion on his faith into an Imus dig.

"Probably the greatest lesson Jesus taught us is that you love the unlovely. You love the ones that no one else loves," he said. "That's why I love you, Don."
