My astute colleague Mark forwarded me this latest article on Huckabee's chances in SC. It shows McCain opening a pretty commanding lead. Check it out here:

Speaking of Mr. Positive, have you seen Huckabee's latest ad in Michigan? Laughable. Here it is:

Gotta love the blatant back-handed slap at Romney there at the end. Let's break that one down, shall we? Huckabee wants Americans to have a President that "reminds them of the guy they work with, not the guy that laid them off." Look around your workplace. Do you want a President who reminds you of these people? I work with a lot of wonderful people and not ONE of them is qualified to run the country. I know it's an insane argument, but if you parse out all the "feel good" oratory by this guy and look at what he MEANS, you're left with a populist vacuum. Huckabee has based a campaign around a smart mouth and trite little one liners. I'd rather have leader, not a laugh track.
Anyway, back to SC for a minute. All indications are that South Carolina is going to be brutal between Huckabee and McCain- some in the media even calling it a "knife fight" between the two. And you thought South Carolina was only about guns? HA! I think that Mitt did the right thing by pulling ads and money from the state. The thought being that Every time he comes in second, the media boilerplate is as follows, "Romney suffers a crushing defeat despite spending millions in (insert state here)". He is absolutely right to let Huckabee and McCain duke it out. My guess is that things are going to get nasty between them, and at least this way they can't pin it on Romney. I don't think Mitt can win SC, but I feel that he can put up a good showing and stack the delegate count. Delegates matter more than anything at this point.
That's it for this post. Tonight, Shannon and I are going to a Phone Bank to make some calls for the campaign. I'll post a few pics and various other experiences from the evening ASAP. I urge you all to get out there and get involved!

I think one of the other candidates should get an endorsement from Joe Piscapo. I can see it now - A back alley on a cold dark night... Republican candidates side by side with their washed up celebrity endorsers snapping their fingers slowly walking towards one another.
Sorry, random references..
Rumble!!
