Read this article . If this is how it all went down, then WOW...not only are my worries about Huckabee's integrity greatly eased, but I am very very impressed.
Basically the article says that Ed Rollins (Huckabees advisor) said that they had to go negative in order to control some of the damage being caused by the Romney campaigns attacks. Rollins knows what he is talking about, and knows how this game is played. Huckabee went along with it, made the spot, and then was praying about it the day the attack was going to begin and decided to pull the ad at 11:10am (they were going to release the ad at a press conference at noon).
They would have preferred to cancel the press conference and the whole thing at that point was done impromptu. Yes some mistakes were made, and yes probably some people were still trying to get a "swing in" amidst this whole thing. But the bottom line is that Huckabee made the call, and stopped the attack.
So it looks like we have a guy here who is really willing to take a personal hit in order to follow his convictions. Even against the advice of his advisors, even in the midst of adversity. That is truly unique in politics.
I'm back on the Huckabee express! ... for now anyway ... I must be bipolar or something...sheez...

Hi Mr. Ewbank. I like your blog. I found it when I was surfing around looking at Huckabee pages. I disagree with many of your positions. I do not support Huckabee. I think Stranger Than Fiction was a silly movie. However, I have loaned a man in Bolivia $50 through Kiva. Don't vote for Huck. He is a fraud. Cheers. -Ben Taylor
Yeah Huck! Things aren't looking so good for him are they?
How have you been? I haven't talked with you since two Sunday's ago. Maybe sometime we can sit down and I can get some church planting advise from you, I stand to learn a lot from you.
Hey, i'm pretty happy with huckabee's performance, especially considering how much money he (didn't) spend to get some pretty good bang for his buck. It's also pretty interesting to look at his campaign and see how people's theology and doctrine influence their political inclinations.
Hey I'd love to help you guys out however I can. I'm out of town till Tuesday the 26th, so I will try to catch up with you all after then (probably at your church).
Thanks for the post!
Please post some new stuff. It's stale and boring around here. -Ben Taylor
