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He called a news conference to unveil a negative ad that he had just withdrawn from Iowa television stations because, he told a room full of journalists recording the ad, he had a sudden aversion to negative politics.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

Posted: 1/1/08 at 5:58pmthe 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.

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.

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!"

"It all depends on how gullible the public is."
This is a question?

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.

Posted: 1/1/08 at 8:41pmWouldn't cut and paste imply PJ copied the whole article?
