Huckabee's Tacky Statement About Thompson’s Chances Is Huckabee Seeking to be a Political Pundit?
On Fox News Sunday and as reported by the AP, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee says unofficial presidential candidate Fred Thompson, who is expected to jump into the 2008 race next month, will have trouble meeting expectations about his candidacy. Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, lags nationally among his rivals in fund raising and public support. Thompson, an actor and former Tennessee senator, fell short of his recent fund-raising goals and lost a top aide yesterday, but he has polled well in the crowded field. Of Thompson, Huckabee said, “People are expecting him to basically come in and be the fifth head on Mount Rushmore. Whether he can live up to that - I think there’s a real challenge for anybody to live up to that, including if Ronald Reagan were to come back.” . . .

Thompson does have a lot to live up to with all the hype generated around him. I am willing to bet that he has a plan for that too. Thompson is playing his cards his own way in this election.
In fairness to Fred, if there’s any signature accomplishment to the Huckabee era in Arkansas aside from him losing a thousand pounds, it’s eluded me thus far.
The fact that we continue to follow Fred so closely, even when there is no news to report, is proof that the cult of his personality alone far exceeds anything this guy called Huckabee may have. If I was huckabee, I’d be jealous, too.
Huckabee made several mistakes. 1) He mentioned Ronald Reagan. Mr. Huckabeen-I havent noticed any comparisons to Ronald Reagan and Yourself whereas I think I have read a few about Reagan and Fred. Perhaps there is a little underlying envy there.
2)Huckabee said, “Let’s just hope Fred decides it’s just too hot this summer to even do this. Maybe he won’t get in,” Huckabee said in a broadcast interview Sunday.
Mr Huckabeen, Hope is not a strategy. To emply that Fred can’t take the heat (for various health or political reasons) is a cheap shot.
3) Huckabee mentions the polls. Huckabee said he would rather “be in a position to overperform than to get in and then underperform the expectations. And so far, that’s what we’ve done,” citing the results in Iowa and saying he has gained momentum in New Hampshire.
Mr Huckabee, it’s easy to “overperform” when you are in single digits. A 3 point jump would be a 100% jump for you right now….
Mike Huckabee is a Nannystater not a Federalist Now we know that Mike Huckabee lost a tremendous amount of weight and is on a personal crusade to make America a healthier place. Nothing wrong with that. But now it appears he has adopted a position on pushing a Federal Smoking Ban ...
