Groomed For Slaughter
By Mitch Berg
Fraters notes a piece by Kim Strassel that sums up my big problem with Huckabee (emphasis added by me):
Since the beginning of 2007, the Democratic National Committee has released 102 direct attacks on Mitt Romney. Rudy Giuliani has warranted 78; John McCain 68; Fred Thompson 21. Mike Huckabee? Four. The most recent of these landed back in March. GOP voters may not have examined Mr. Huckabee’s record, but the left has–and they love what they see.
The optimist and idealist in me wants to believe that the Media are just acting like Lori Sturdevant; lifting up the Republicans who act the most like Democrats (only to cut them down without mercy the moment they turn into actual Republicans.
The cynic in me counters; would the media be pushing a Republican they couldn’t turn around and destroy?
Elder:
Democrats love the smell of Huckabee’s ethical lapses in the past. It smells like victory.
Don’t buy it, Republicans. The media is setting Huckabee – and swing voters – for a big, fat, Hillary slapshot.

Like I posted before. The media is suddenly Huckabee’s best friend because they know he doesn’t stand a chance against Hillary. Huckabee winning the GOP nod going against Hillary won’t be bringing a knife to a gunfight, it will be bringing a toilet plunger to a gunfight. Huckabee is only a bible-thumping away from being slightly to the right of Hillary.
