Today on FOX Fred Thompson was talking about an attack made by the Huckabee campaign against him, in S.C. Fred noticed the Huck seems to avoid going after McCain regardless of the fact that he (McCain) is in the lead in S.C. with Huckelberry running a close second. Fred observed that Huck appears to be McCain's "stalking horse" in the campaign, a fairly astute observation in my opinion since I firmly believe that the Huckster is looking long term for a position on the ticket with McCain. Watch and see if they don't remain on good terms with one another throughout the S.C. primary. Huck knows McCain's ego is too big to allow him to choose a running mate who had previously been critical of his (McCain's) positions! No Ronald Ragan is he! (McCain). |

His Church has been indoctrinating its members against Mormonism for at least 25 years. It wasn't much of a trick to send Evangelicals the hint that they shouldn't vote for a Mormon, since they've all been told that the LDS church is a cult, not Christian, yadda, yadda, yadda.
If Romney is the nominee, you can expect the Democrats to attack his church, and they'll find all the material they want in writings published by Evangelical churches.
Huck's real problem is that the groupthink promoted by him and his fellow Baptist ministers hasn't overcome the understanding among the Religious Right that what matters is character, ability and experience, not denomination.
He started out on my short list, but when it became clear that he was pushing populism, attacking Romney as an elite, rather than a man of achievement, I lost a lot of respect for him. Now it looks as though he was avoiding attacks on McCain in hopes of being invited to be VP. That's just sad.
There's a conspiracy all right. It's called intelligent Republican voters. |
