Ed Rollins is at it again. He’s back with the stalking horse story. Here he goes again:

“Why would he get aggressive all of a sudden here?” asked Ed Rollins, Huckabee’s campaign chairman, noting the series of attacks that Thompson directed at Huckabee in a recent debate. Rollins added: “Thirty-five seconds after he drops out, he endorses McCain… Anything he takes from us I’m concerned about, because it’s a close race.”

Ed Rollins is totally sleazy. Rollins is the Republican’s Bob Shrum. He’s a total loser. Now that Huckabee’s ties to Common Sense Issues’ push-polling have been exposed, it’s likely that voters are fleeing Huckabee like he’s the devil himself.

Despite what the media has said, Huckabee’s always been a second tier candidate. He can’t expand his base. He’s an electoral disaster waiting to happen. He won’t attract conservatives because he’s a liberal. He won’t attract country club conservatives, either, because he’s disparaged them. On top of all that, he’s a political lightweight, a package of cute one-liners and no substance.

Here’s something that I found interesting:

Thompson, who touts what he calls a “100 percent pro-life” record on abortion, could peel religious conservatives from Huckabee. Romney aides fear that Thompson could take away anybody-but-McCain mainline conservatives.

It’s like that Fred will pull religious conservatives from Huckabee and mainstream conservatives from Romney. It’s noteworthy that he’s got the movement conservatives all to himself. When you combine those things together, isn’t that what’s needed to be the next GOP presidential nominee?

Let’s remember that Ed Rollins is the villain who handed the 1992 election to Bill Clinton by managing Ross Perot’s campaign. In other words, Mike Huckabee is a sleazy street fighter, not this virtuous God-fearing Christian.

Once this information gets out, Huckabee’s Christian supporters will shrink in a hurry.

It couldn’t happen to a more deserving ‘couple’.
