From Mark Levin today on NR.

John McCain is running an ad here in Detroit boasting of his small-government credentials. McCain scoffs at “a bridge to nowhere and $74 million for peanut storage.”

But McCain’s rhetoric masks Big Government instincts that may not play well if Mitt Romney continues to hammer McCain on economic themes. Long a national anomaly with its one-state recession, Michigan is suddenly on the cutting edge of economic concerns that have now grown national.

McCain’s solution? Massive, expensive regulation of a key economic sector, the auto industry, via fuel economy mandates that amount to a $85 billion tax increase on the domestic industry. Similar, so-called CAFÉ laws, have cost the industry thousands of jobs when they were first imposed during the last oil panic in the 1970s.

Coupled with his tin ear for economic stimulus (he opposed the crucial Bush tax cuts post 9/11) and McCain – for all his populist appeal here – appears more war leader than economy leader.

Woofie asks Huck to respond to the charge that he raised taxes.

Huck does not answer the question.

Woofie goes at him again. Huck dodges again.

Huck, if you left the state with that huge a surplus, you are taxing too much.

Isn’t Todd part of Clinton media, along with Mitchell, Russert, Gregory and the rest?

I remember Page asked her if Sandy Pants was an officer advisor once (I was shocked), then followed up (after Hill’s no), to ask if he’s unofficial. Security status remember, as in ‘You’re not thinking of putting him in your cabinet’ or ‘Let me get this outta the way for you’.

She used to write for Newsday here in NY (Queens, LI paper).

Everyone who criticizes Huck is just desperate and not telling the truth.

Huck, WE DON’T WANT YOU.

His motives may well have been self-serving. But when it looked very gloomy, indeed, many were already lining up to heap a lot of the blame on McConnell. Therefore....

Good one! We need to find a few hundred people from Arkansas that also consider Huck a liberal!

From Mark Levin on NR today: (btw the one on McCain above was from Henry Payne, not Mark Levin)

Mike Huckabee: “Many of us who have been Republicans out of conviction . . . the social conservatives,” he told reporters, “were welcomed in the party as long as we sort of kept our place, but Lord help us if we ever stood forward and said we would actually like to lead the party.” More here.

Huckabee continues to use his faith as a weapon against those who question not his faith, but his political populism — much of which he shares with secular progressives. And he is clearly hoping to stir up resentment among Evangelical Christians against the other elements of the conservative movement and Republican Party as a way of encouraging them to vote in the caucuses and primaries. This is a tactic right out of Saul Alinsky’s playbook. Of course he wants us to believe the Reagan coalition is dead because he cannot win with it intact. But he cannot win either the nomination or presidency with the narrow focus of his appeal. This is why I find Mike Huckabee’s tactics and candidacy so deplorable.

Woofie lets Huck go on and on about what a fabulous person he, the Huckster, is.

In fairness, he let Fred talk as well. As someone said upthread, Cnn seems to be stepping up.

I’ve been watching them more and more compared to Fox in recent months. Fox has its bastions of sanity, like Special Report, but, by and large, CNN’s reporting is simply of a higher quality.

This morning’s Fox panel was just plain weird.

No kidding! Bill Kristol "defending" Hillary, Mara's orgasm over a "McCain-Huckabee" showdown, etc.

Fox News has veered hard left.
