During Rush's shows the past two days I kept posting that he was employing a very dangerous strategery that ostensibly was supposed to hurt Huck.

I posited on many posts that he was actually helping the man. Boy, did I take heat....on the board and via private mail.

I was 100% correct and will be very interested to see Rush get out of this one tomorrow. He was in a position to subtly help Fred in the last 48 hours since he wouldn't overtly help him, but he barely mentioned Fred's name except in casual passing in the last two days of his show.

You win by praising the conservative candidate and touting his record, not by slamming his opponent for hours on end. I was a political candidate many times (won 'em all) and learned that every knock is a boost.

Well, it's water over the dam now, and I'm moving on.

I'm still hoping that Fred can pull into 2nd tonight.

Said I similarly about attacks on Mr. Huckabee. The political dynamics of "Chinese Handcuffs" apply to Mr. Huckabee.

The more "punditry" (which at this date includes FR) attacks Mike, the more people are drawn to him.

I think it is too late for Fred tonight.

I have watched the leading up to the Iowa caucus for weeks. I wish I had a penny for every minute Huck has been on TV getting free exposure by the MSM. He has played them like idiots or either they have played him like an idiot. Just shaking my head.

So far as i am concerned this is not indicative of the primaries. Too many Republicans crossed over to vote against Hillary, so we won't know anything until Feb.
