So hard up for cash is he that he can’t afford to run this on Florida broadcast stations, even though a state with no income tax is an easy mark for this line of argument. Ah well. You’ll find no Christian iconography here, needless to say; South Carolina proved that his base isn’t big enough to push him through, even in a three- or four-man race. So here’s a last-gasp bid to broaden his support by emphasizing the more secular conservative aspects of his platform, of a piece with publicly signing that “no amnesty” pledge that no one really trusts him to abide by.
Now that I no longer have to worry about being governed by him, I’m curious to see what his next move is. Any ideas? Maverick won’t tempt fate with a RINOmania ticket by making him VP but Huck’s made too many friends within the media to disappear entirely. And being as young as he is, he’s surely already thinking about 2012 with a proper organization behind him. What does he do until then to bide his time?
Exit question: Just how crazy was Huck’s tax plan? Crazy crazy? Or crazy like a fox?
Update: Says the man who pulled the Romney attack ad stunt and has spent the last two months demagoguing identity politics in various subtle and not so subtle ways, “Those guys [the Democrats] ought to be nice like us.”
