I’m sorry. I still don’t get it with Huckabee, and, I certainly don’t understand his rise in the polls.

I still don’t get it with Huckabee, and, I certainly don’t understand his rise in the polls.

While I am not a Huck supporter, Fred's my man, let me try and explain Huckabee's rise in the polls.

First of all, as Dick Morris has said, in this age of the Internet, money can not buy elections anymore. (Reference Mitt Romney spending a gazillion dollars in Iowa and Huckabe spending a couple a million. Reference also, Ron Paul raising 6 million dollars in one day; yet he will only get about 4% of the vote.)

Secondly, Conservatives have been dying for a candidate. Rudy certainly doesn't feel the bill. McCain with his opposition to the Bush Tax Cuts and passing the damnable McCain/Feingold Bill, and his love affair with the likes of Ted Kennedy cannot fill the bill. Romney is a flip-flopper and now he's Bill Clintonesque with: "It all depends on what the meaning of 'I saw' is", with reference to "I saw my day march with Martin Luther King" (which never happened). He's a flipper and a liar and a hypocrite. And, my man, Fred, has just not gotten traction. Why, I don't know.
So, the Conservatives have united behind Huckabee.

You’re not the one who needs to apologize.
