You may remember Ron Paul set a fundraising record by netting 6 million dollars in one day a few weeks ago. Huckabee's campaign tried to duplicate Ron Paul's methods and had a big one day drive - that netted 80 thousand dollars. Huckabee's campaign is broke - it costs money to run commercials - so what does the snake oil salesman, fraud do? Piously declares that he can't air these commercials that show personal attacks because he wants to run a clean campaign - then proceeds to give them to the press to see and talk about.

BEWARE - Huckabee is a real politician in every sense of the word. If elected he is sure to be asking the definition of is.

Iowa (Reuters) - A staged event may have exposed presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee as a traditional politician rather than a self-described populist whose appeal has propelled him to the top of Iowa's polls.

On Monday, three days before Iowa holds the first state nominating contest for the November 2008 election, the 52-year-old Huckabee told a packed news conference he had decided at the last minute not to run a scathing TV commercial countering rival Mitt Romney's attacks on his record.

Then Huckabee proceeded to show reporters the commercial, which ensured that TV cable and network news channels would broadcast parts of it for free.

The advertisement took issue with Romney, a 60-year-old former Republican governor of Massachusetts, on a range of subjects from fiscal policy to abortion and accused him of being dishonest.

A Baptist preacher, Huckabee told reporters he had changed his mind about the ad because he wanted to run a positive campaign. But critics said that by showing the ad to the media, he had nonetheless made sure his attacks on Romney would be seen and heard.

Analysts saw political calculation in the act. Some said the incident was only the latest of several gaffes that ultimately would burst Huckabee's surprise bubble at a critical moment in the lengthy presidential campaign.

Huckabee is a liar and responsible for letting a murderer go who killed 2 more people.

Excerpt:

Way back in January, Mike Huckabee appeared on Meet the Press and was asked about Wayne Dumond. In 1996, Dumond, a convicted rapist who attacked a 17-year-old girl, was up for parole, but the Arkansas parole board was poised to deny his request. Huckabee intervened and announced he would commute Dumond’s sentence, causing the parole board to reverse course and grant him parole, a decision Huckabee endorsed.

Within a year of being freed, Dumond traveled to Missouri, where he raped and killed another young woman, and was the lead suspect in another rape and murder case. Tim Russert asked the former governor if he regretted supporting Dumond’s parole. Huckabee was evasive, saying only that he “wish[ed] that I had known more than I knew.” Huckabee went on to insist that he did not intervene in Dumond’s case with the parole board, and neither he nor his staff tried to convince the board to grant Dumond parole.
