Drudge: Democrats Hoping Huckabee Gets The GOP Nomination Because He’s An Easy Target
A real “glass jaw” is the term being used:
Democrat party officials are avoiding any and all criticism of Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee, insiders reveal.
The Democratic National Committee has told staffers to hold all fire, until he secures the party’s nomination.
The directive has come down from the highest levels within the party, according to a top source.
Within the DNC, Huckabee is known as the “glass jaw — and they’re just waiting to break it.”
In the last three weeks since Huckabee’s surge kicked in, the DNC hasn’t released a single press release criticizing his rising candidacy.
The last DNC press release critical of Huckabee appeared back on March 2nd.
It’s a rumor on Drudge so you’ve got to take it with a grain of salt, but it certainly rings true what with Huckabee already in hot water about his comments about AIDS patients, wives serving their husbands and his refusal to release his sermons from back when he was a pastor.
When you add those things (sure to irritate moderate voters) in with the fact that fiscal conservatives dislike Huckabees record on things like taxes and nanny-statism and you can’t help but feel that he’s one crappy candidate.
So why go with him when there are better options in the field?
Update: The DNC is saying this came from Romney, not them, but then again this isn’t exactly something they’d ‘fess up to anyway.
