A lot of people here talk about the so-called "elites."
These are the types of so-called elites we should
be focusing on.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee today broadened the assault on the Republican Party establishment — and former Bush adviser Karl Rove in particular — levied recently by Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh, blasting the "elitism" and "country club attitude exhibited by Rove and others who dismissed Delaware Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell.
"I was very disappointed in some, particularly Karl and others, who were so dismissive of Christine O'Donnell," Huckabee told Aaron Klein on the latter's WABC radio show Sunday.
"Unfortunately, there is an elitism within the Republican establishment," Huckabee told Klein. "And it's one of the reasons the Republicans have not been able to solidify not only the tea party movement but solidify conservatives across America."
"It's about, again, to be blunt, the kind of country club attitude that we're not sure there are certain people we really want as members of the club and we're not going to vote them in. And we don't mind showing up to events to put up signs and making phone calls and going door to door making those pesky little trips that we don't like to do, but we really don't want them dining with us in the main dining room," he said.

I'm getting really tired of these terms.
Huckabee finally came around.....It’s good that he did but that happen like awhile back, Huckster! Sheesh!
Democrats don’t have to fear Rove. Conservatives do.
This from the smarmy, phony huckster.
I don’t know how anyone can stomach this guy.
Huckabee = turn channel.
I hope we're not fooled by him again.
Huckster trying to get in front of the conservative parade...again.
It’s true!.....Why are these inside the beltway people dismissive of the grassroots efforts at times? the Teal Party literally help the GOP this year in a big way!
Why would they be foolish to attack and do so if they think they know better?

So Mike Huckabee is trying to distance himself from the Rhinos. Has he been doing this on his show too? I don’t
watch him very often.

Huck wants to make another run. The elites want Romney so Huck has to move back to us if he wants to have a chance. Huck is a good man, but he is not a warrior. We are in a war and we need someone who will fight.
Huck is definitely running in ‘12
Palin is definitely running in ‘12
RE: I’m getting really tired of these terms.
That’s because you support liberals like Romney who is the essence of those terms.
Rove’s not the problem - here’s the REAL deal:

Get lost.
Snowe, Collins, Cornyn, Grassley, McConnell, Graham, McCain. Even Shelby has been corrupted and Inhofe has never seen an earmark he didn’t like.
RE: Get lost.
No thanks. Don’t want to end up like you.
Say what you want about Huckabee, he’s a shrewd judge of the conservative scene.
I hope we’re not fooled by him again.
I am more afraid of the people who will support Romney, Gingrich, Pawlenty, and the other more Liberal RINOs.
Need a real conservative to run for the GOP nomination
The elite want Huck to run so as to try to take some of Sarah voters away....They believe that Sarah and Huckabee will be battling over the same undecided conservatives and Republicans, split the vote and whereby Mitt can squeeze in and take the nomination
