Is it just me, or is Huckabee’s tent starting to collapse? I’m sensing a lot of buyer’s remorse, even though I haven’t seen if the polls are lagging indicators of anything.
Folks are only going after him because he’s a Christian. (sarcasm off)
Thompson has a very good chance at winning South Carolina.. if he does, he’s got all the momentum heading into Super Tuesday.
Anyway, after the Huck did whatever it is he's accused of doing Arkansas still had an exceedingly low tax rate by anyone's standard.
And unemployment? That's currently about 5.7%. In Massachusetts unemplyment is 4.3% (in contrast).
You can get a pretty good review of what it was during Huckabee's terms in office at: http://data.bls.gov/PDQ/servlet/SurveyOutputServlet?series_id=LASST05000003&data_tool=%22EaG%22
Bebee is not doing quite as well ~ in fact unemployment has jumped since he took office.
This may be the reason former governors get elected President ~ we are able to go back to their state's performance during their terms in office and see if they really screwed up.
Senators have fallen into disfavor ~ no accountability, too many hair stylists, etc.
If you want an attack ad to be effective, you need to target it. Huckabee supporters don’t support him for his stance on taxes, so attacking him there will have no effect.
