...yeah we don't need McWuss "mad"

Has she endorsed someone in the NY race? Or is it too soon for that as well?
I am too. I just think it's stupid to fault Huckaby in Arkansas for failure to endorse a candidate in NY. If he's not comfortable endorsing, then he's not comfortable.
This yet again proves that Huckabee is not serious as a Conservative leader in (or outside) the GOP. He wants to politic, not stand on principle. This is EXACTLY why I would NOT vote for him for President. And why I DID not in 2008.
I suggest Huckabee keep playing bass for Skynyrd on his TV program on FOXNEWS. I like him there. He will NOT, however, get my vote for President.
Who cares. He is expecting his tv show to give him a lot of recognition.
Huckbo, don’t make masta McLane and twinkletoes mad. They will give you the Palin treatment.
No one so far, as far as I know. In my view this is a "with us or against us" watershed moment--any would-be leader who stays out of it is not worth my future support.

If Huckabee's goal is to remain a TV commentator, then I agree with you.
On the other hand, if his goal is to be a conservative GOP president, then it is absolutely his responsibility to do everything he can to elect conservatives to Congress in 2010.
I’d actually respect the RNC a tad if they stayed the hell out of the primary endorsement bizness.
Great picture! Was that taken after he saw Megs on Twitter?
during the 08 national debates
I can see that one both ways. On one hand, it’s the business of republican voters (not the RNC) to decide who should be the candidate.
On the other, if the RNC is supposed to be a guardian of the “brand”/what it means to be a republican, then supporting/withholding support for primary candidates would be one of the main ways they would do that.
Obviously the latter idea isn’t working, though—so I would support reforms to keep them out of it.
Forget about Huckabee, who's side is Steele on?
So it doesn't appear that Huckabee has an aversion to endorsements. But apparently Huckabee is not comfortable in this NY case. He is scheduled to speak to the NY conservatives on 10/28, so perhaps we will learn why then.
According to the Hill, the RNC yesterday committed $85K to the GOP leftist’s campaign—the maximum allowed by federal law. They’re also reportedly giving the NY GOP a six-figure sum to run more ads for the leftist.

“Also she’s the only Republican with full support of the grassroots.”
Rassmussen has her in 3rd, behind Huckabee and Romney.
So are Palin’s supporters “grassroots” and the others’ supporters are no counts?
The others’ supporters may think they are equally “grassroots.”
It would be a good thing this cycle if folks on the right treated each other civilly.
To win, Palin will eventually need people who first supported Huckabee and Romney.
I’m getting sick!
