Red Eye to Huckabee: Are you calling Palin an extremist?

yes I have seen him start down this path last week on his show. He is trying to show himself as a moderate and everyone to the right of him as extreme. He was talking compromise in Congress. I think Huck’s poll numbers are about to drop….

Why would he try to paint himself as a moderate? The only people who want squishy moderates are on the left.

because he kSo like any good politican he knows he can’t attack Palin from the right. The left is the only field left open to him. He is counting on his christian appeal to allow him to go to the left. He is a moderate, a conservative would never pardon as many criminals as Huck did nor raise taxes as much as Huck did.

this is what people are talking about with the “poll numbers” right now those numbers mean nothing becaus e Huck , Mitt and Newt have not engaged and thus people can paint thier guy however they want. I lot of Huck supporters are going to want more IMO in about a month’s time.

I think it would help Mitt and Palin and maybe Newt. Why have a chrisitian lite or a moderate lite when you can have the real thing.

huck I think is misreading the voters here. he thinks they want compromise because the polls (which the MSM loads with dems ) say they want compromise. It has been 1 month since an election of historic consequences and Huck thinks we have all cooled down. He like most politicans is misreading the voters “wait and see” approach as compromise.

I look for Huck 2.0 soon as this line of attack goes no where and costs him in the pollls.

Huck’s argument that governing is all about compromise guarantees that his already dead campaign is still dead.

agree. I saw him bring this out on his show last weekend with Madcow the radio guy. Madcow didn’t buy it and niether did I. Daniels and now
Huck want to compromise. I say those that push for compromise before the battle is even joined are saying more about them then anything we can say about them.

compromise only comes into play when neither side can win. Or after you have been defeated. 2010 we won. the dems were defeated. To compromise now would be to give up that victory for nothing.

there are things we can and should compromise on for the godd of the country over the good of the party. But when your core principles are winning you do not compromise.

sure sure she does. I worry about people like you that can not seperate what a VP candidate says defending the POTUS candidate’s position and what the VP candidate believes backed by numerous interviews done after the election.
