The whole package
Jennifer Rubin at AmSpec writes on Huckabee's rise:
I do agree that the mostly urban fiscal conservative pundit crowd( including me I admit) have next to zero impact on those who are finding Hucakbee as their guy. And indeed the barrage from Club for Growth I think is largely ineffective, if not counterproductive, as he plays the Mainstreet vs. Wall Street tune.
I disagree. I remember very well the Club for Growth ad against Howard Dean in Iowa (disclosure: At the time, I was an intern at the PR firm that handled press for CFG). It played directly to Main Street and radiated the kind of down home values that Huckabee has been pushing. I have a feeling that when push comes to shoving Huckabee out of the race, Club for Growth can do some damage.

Skewering Dean is like shooting fish in a barrel.
These huge ad buys they're doing in Iowa are not helping their cause-and I don't even think it's debatable at this point.
If the Romney campaign wants to crush Suckabee it should e-mail copies of those Murray Waas stories he's written for HuffPo to every single reporter and Republican county chair in the state of Iowa, then start recording ads with the victims of Huckleberry's criminal stupidity .
Plus, he should get Steve King on board before they start counting heads. I can't say what anyone else would have done, but if Romney had used the opportunity of Huckster's defense of the DREAM Act writ small to go over to his chair and punch him in the face a few times-instead of giving a tepid, albeit accurate, rebuttal, I would have jumped on the Romney bandwagon, my misgivings about his campaign notwithstanding.

Someone's got to work on spoof lyrics titled "Down in RINOland".
And this comes from a pretty fervent Giulian supporter.
