More on the Flunking Huckabee
The Arkansas News Bureau picked up the story of Governor Mike Huckabee getting an "F" from the Cato Institute, but said that it wouldn't have much affect on Huckabee's image. However, they did quote a political analyst who said that something else would, in fact, hinder Huckabee. Excerpt:
The anti-tax Club for Growth is one group that has repeatedly attacked Huckabee for promoting sales tax increases to pay for education reform, among other spending measures.
Dean Spiliotis, director of research for the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, said the club's dislike for Huckabee may cause problems for the governor in his state.
"If a national organization is willing to put money out there saying 'Don't be fooled, this guy is really a liberal,' that can chip away at (Huckabee), especially in states where you're not well known," he said.
Yes, indeed. Don't be fooled.
