…In the form of this anti-Huckabee hit piece which was released today:
Mike Krempasky describes it thusly:
If you’ve not seen it, you will. A striking (like a boot to the head) and personal plea for voters to punish Mike Huckabee for his involvement in the freeing of Wayne Dumond.
Talking Points Memo describes the ad as “absolutely brutal.”
Much like how I described Securitygate as an opportunity to evaluate Team Giuliani’ skill in crisis control, we Republicans need to watch closely how Team Huckabee will respond to the attack ads that will be coming out now that Huck has a big bullseye on his back.
The ability to handle crises and defuse opposition attacks is one of the most important skills that our nominee needs to have to defeat the Clintons.
Team Huckabee should view this episode as an opportunity to show us that they are up to the task.
