Huckabee Deflates as the Race goes to Florida
If Mike Huckabee is the Republican equivalent of a Clinton, then Chuck Norris is the Bill to Huckabee’s Hillary - the attack dog who gets to say what Huckabee can’t. Fresh off a loss to John McCain in South Carolina, check out what Norris had to say:
“If John takes over the presidency at 72 and he ages 3-to-1, how old will he be in four years? Eighty-four years old — and can he handle that kind of pressure in that job?” Norris said, as Huckabee looked on.
Needless to say, it’s starting to look a little desperate for Huckabee if Chuck Norris has to be the one making news. The oh-shucks-take-this-flagpole-and-stick-it-where-the-sun-don’t-shine routine needed to work for the Governor, and it didn’t.
Maybe splitting the independent/Democrat/future liberals of America vote with McCain while Romney takes the Republicans wasn’t the greatest strategy of all time.
Michelle Malkin reacted to Huckleberry’s concession speech:
Maybe I heard it wrong, but I think he just referred to his campaign in the past tense: “What we had…”
He’s gone. It was a bad weekend for Huckabee fans.
Meanwhile, Romney won Nevada (covered strongly by Fox News; anyone else?), Duncan Hunter dropped, and Fred Thompson is all but gone. The initial Rasmussen poll out of Florida has Romney (25%) with a narrow five point lead over McCain (20%) and six over Giuliani (19%). To me, it looks like either these three will be our last three candidates (Giuliani hangs thanks to Super Tuesday) or it will simply be Romney and McCain.
