In some quarters, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee appears to be the flavor-of-the-month Republican candidateI can tell you exactly what "quarters": the MSM quarters.
They annointed McCain.
When that failed, they annointed Giuliani.
Now that that's failing, they want to annoint Huckabee.
It's all pretty transparent.
Huckabee is Susan Collins with a 5 o’clock shadow...
Huckabee makes no secret of his desire to turn the GOP leftward, calling himself a “different kind of Republican,” adopting protectionist positions, and peppering his campaign speeches with the kind of class warfare rhetoric one expects to hear from John Edwards. No doubt, this is the reason that the liberal media is so smitten with him.Why is he even in the Republican Party? He and L Ron Paul should join the Democrats, where they belong.
Thanks for continuing to post this.
How can a man who believes that humans can control the earth’s climate be considered sane enough to be the President of the USA?
Global warming is one of my top litmus tests to even be considered for my vote.
Basically, Huck is another GWB.
‘Huckabee is Susan Collins with a 5 o’clock shadow...’
Well, he’s not anywhere near as mealy mouthed as that idiot, but his record does resemble hers.
When he said he would support a federal smoking ban I figured he was no better than Bloomberg or most Democrats. Yet in the debate the other day he tried to sound like a conservative, and said we would suffer a loss of personal freedoms under a Clinton presidency?? Sounds like HRC is no worse than he is in many ways.
My thought also.

Concur, except rather than “transparent”, I call it blatant.
No Way would I vote for Huck....I am in all the way for RUDY!
The MSM is pushing the Huckster to bring Thompson’s and Romney’s numbers down for a Rudy win.
It only seems to be effecting Romney at this point , as Fred’s support is holding steady .

LOL! So true!
You forgot the sarcasm tag.
I see nothing wrong with protecting your country through legislation.
And I don’t need the MSM to tell me who wins these stupid debates or who’s up in the polls.
It so simple. If every conservative would just go to each of these campaign websites, review their positions and then review their voting records on said positions we would be guaranteed a conservative candidate.
And this Huckapalooza would end
According to the latest polls, it’s Giuliani who’s suffered the biggest slide lately, going from 30% nationwide on oct 16, to 20% yesterday (rasmussen). I count 6% of that as former McCain voters who left McCain and then returned to him (since McCain did go from 8% to 14%). But the other 4% might have gone to Huckabee.
I don’t think the media has a well-planned game. They’ll just support any liberal in the Republican midst. And they have a tendency to jump on bandwagons and right now ManBearPig Huckabee is the hot bandwagon for aspiring young leftist journalists to jump on.
Fred's support has been dropping steadily. Especially since his post-announcement high. Read the polls. He's down below his pre-announcement highs already, having lost his entire announcement bounce and back down to where he was before he even started campaigning, participating in debates, and running ads, etc.
