Negative Ads

Mike Huckabee pulled a fast one showing reporters the negative ad he said he'd pulled. And he may continue that underhanded approach if his campaign chairman has his way.

In a testy exchange just after his candidate won Thursday's Iowa caucuses, Mike Huckabee's campaign chairman acknowledged discussing the potential Huckabee would "go negative" in South Carolina.

[...]

Ed Rollins, who ran Ronald Reagan's 1984 bid and recently joined Huckabee's campaign, was overheard discussing the Republican primary race as he lunched in Iowa Thursday.

[...]

"To me, hitting somebody, knocking somebody down, is a great feeling," he said. "Firing out a negative ad just feels amazing."

  Raw Story

He'd also like the feel of "knocking out Romney's teeth." More of Rollins' sterling character comes out in overheard conversations.


....hey, do what you want....you will anyway.


Update:

The ad [that Huckabee said he pulled rather than run a negative campaign against Romney] ran at least 10 times on four different stations in Davenport and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The Huckabee campaign called those airings a mistake.
