What a moron.

Analysis: Huckabee may have gone too far

By RON FOURNIER, Associated Press WriterTue Jan 1, 11:35 AM ET

Mike Huckabee may have finally gone too far.

After running an unconventional, surprisingly strong and sometimes strange race to the top tier of the Republican presidential campaign, the former Arkansas governor topped himself Monday with an eyebrow-raising campaign stunt.

He called a news conference to unveil a negative ad that he had just withdrawn from Iowa television stations because, he told a room full of journalists recording the ad, he had a sudden aversion to negative politics. Quite a convenient epiphany.

"If people want to be cynical about it," Huckabee said, "they can be cynical about it."

the message gets out that huckabee had a change of heart and decided not to run a negative ad. and though the meat of the ad is out through the media, not huck. crazy like a fox. the last poll had him back up by 6 anyway.

I read about this today. Who is the idiot who advised him to do that?

No one. His campaign is baffled.

It depends on how it plays - he either got the ad out there for free, or people see him for the manipulative piece of crap he is.

It all depends on how gullible the public is.

Love this bit:

The Romney campaign responded by again going after Huckabee’s record as governor, and in one email, the campaign described Huckabee’s ploy to announce he is not running the ad then following that up by showing it to reporters as a “meltdown.”

Maybe Romney is being advised by HD.

Email going around Republican circles:

"Huckabee is the candidate for people who think angels help them pick lottery numbers."

The Republican establishment HATES him more than any Democrat could.

Papa, at least we can agree on that one.

I honestly think that Huck has peaked, but you never know...

IN Talk of the Nation's 2008 projections, columnist Joel Stein Predicted a Obama-Huck race with Obama carrying every state in the nation except New York, Massachusettes and California- Liberals in those states won't vote for Obama "not because THEY are prejudiced but because the rest of the country just isn't ready for a black president."

That's how I feel about Huck, too. So many people say "Of course, I think he's a hideous right wing boob, but that's what people want!"

Notice is said "how gullible" not whether the public was gullible.

The public is gullible, but at some point, someone has to see that there is someone behind the curtain making crap up as he goes along.

Lincoln and Bush have one major accomplishment in common.

Joe and Craig...that is a long LIBERAL cut and paste.


If Tom DeLay is The Hammer, then I proclaim a new title for the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi: The Briber. Nancy Pelosi had to bribe her members with spinach to get their votes.

Wouldn't cut and paste imply PJ copied the whole article?


I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
