Total turn around

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...
