they were being unfairly outspent

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! So, the candidates with more money should NOT spend it because Huck has none? Is Huck a socialist? Is Rollins?

Romney was asked about Rollins’ comment about wanting to kick Mitt’s teeth in. Romney said, to the effect, “My only comment on that is don’t touch the hair.” The room exploded in laughter.

This is what you get with when you combine a bare-knuckle fighter with a two-fisted drinker.

>>Rollins indicated several times their campaign was the victim of “dirty tricks” and that they were being unfairly outspent.<<

Clearly Huckabee and Romney are both doing dirty tricks but I wonder what he means by “unfairly” outspent?”

“Rollins indicated several times their campaign was the victim of “dirty tricks” and that they were being unfairly outspent.”

Boo Hoo. A candidate can spend any amount of his own money he wants. If you don’t have it to spend, raise some more. If you can’t raise it, your candidate must not be that good.

Who wants to hire a victim to be President of the United States and leader of the free world?

No mention of Rollins consuming adult beverage. Carrot cake sounds good.

Thanks for the backhand, man. I appreciate being branded a “weirdo.” And yes, I’m a Mormon. Have a pleasant evening.

Score one for Mitt. If he can laugh at himself that’s a very good character trait, which makes up for some of the less good.

Maybe Huckabee can fake another phone call from God like he did in 2004 at the GOP Governor's convention:

Transcript: GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE (R-AK): We are so very glad that all of you could join us here tonight as we get under way to hear the president…

(HUCKABEE'S CELL PHONE RINGING)

HUCKABEE: Oh, my gosh. Excuse me.

(LAUGHTER)

HUCKABEE: Hello? I’m sorry. I’m right in the middle of an event.

It’s who? It’s God?

(LAUGHTER)

HUCKABEE: On the phone for me? How did he get my number? Oh, God has everybody’s number. OK? Yes, I’ll hold.

(LAUGHTER)

HUCKABEE: Yes, God? Yes, sir, I’m right in the middle of–the president’s coming. Yes, sir, he sure is. Oh, yes, sir, he’s here, too. He is.

(LAUGHTER)

HUCKABEE: You see, you say you want–you need an autograph. Oh, for Sampson. I understand, yes, lord.

(LAUGHTER)

HUCKABEE: And, you know, God, this is a pretty big event. We’ve got a lot of people and I’ve only got a very short time here. Oh, you’ve got all the time in the world. I understand. Yes, lord. And you want me to deliver a message. And that would be?

Yes, sir. Well, we want–yes, sir. We want to do what’s right. And our president does. And we’re behind him, yes, sir, we sure are. Yes, sir, we know you don’t take sides in the election.

(LAUGHTER)

HUCKABEE: But, if you did, we kind of think you’d hang in there with us, lord, we really do. So…

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

HUCKABEE: Yes, sir. We’ll pass those good words on. I see. You talked to the president and he talks to you anyway. And we know that. And we know that–yes, sir. Take care of the family and marriage and the people of America and all the people and the children.

And, yes, sir, I can tell you, every one of us are committed to doing that and a whole army of people out here, and we pledge we’ll do our very best to do that, sir. Yes, sir. Well, thank you for blessing me, and we’ll bless you, too. Thank you. And thank you.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

(It's on You tube..) This guy thinks he's Bill Cosby!!!

“Score one for Mitt. If he can laugh at himself that’s a very good character trait, which makes up for some of the less good.”

Can you imagine the Huckabee campaign if the roles were reversed? “They are so mean and violent. It’s not fair that they talk about me that way. They are violent people who are always picking on me.”

I have no strong feelings against him, unlike some of the other GOP candidates. He's flipped, he's flopped, but now seems on solid ground. He wouldn't be my first pick, but none of the announced candidates are.

Have a good time at the caucus.

He often goes for the perfect hair jokes, which somehow reminds me of Gore’s laughing at his stiffness when he ran.

Somehow I can’t get beyond the image of Ed there at dinner, knowing he’s being eavesdropped on, and talking up a storm for the eavesdropper’s benefit.
