What would be the point in Huckabee wanting to pick a fight with Rush for no reason just when he had taken over the # 1 spot in Iowa (IF you believe the polls) and had begun to move in the national polling? Makes absolutely no sense to me. What is deliberately alienating Rush going to get him?

Its the old "wanna be liked by the liberal media and invited to the cocktail parties" mentality.

They see it as an oppotunity to get in good with the media and hopefully grow their current relationship, riding it to positive press to carry them to victory in Nov.

Of course, the positive press will only last until after the convention, then they will destroy him to make smooth sailing for the democrat.

Does it make sense that Huckabee would reveal his lack of knowledge in world affairs just when he has achieved # 1 status in Iowa?

The guy is a piker.
