Why the misinformation about John Ashcroft? Plus: A Huckabee footnote.
(Page 3 of 3)

“When you get down to it, this is classic Jersey politics,” says
the member of the Republican House leadership. “It looks like we
have House members trying to ‘do right’ by their many benefactors,
but they just don’t understand how dirty they themselves are going
to get in trying to smear a good man like John Ashcroft.”

Less than six weeks after he signed on as the face of the national
campaign, Huckabee senior political adviser
Ed
Rollins
may be pushed out the door, according to Huckabee
aides who are just beginning to sign on with the former Arkansas
governor.

“[Rollins] stepped all over our victory narrative in Iowa with that stunt he pulled in the diner with that blogger,” says one of the newcomers to the campaign, referring the Rollins overheard conversation in Iowa diner by a blogger, where he claimed that the Huckabee campaign would go negative in South Carolina against its competitors. “If there is a time to make some changes, it will be after South Carolina. We have lots of people lining up to help right now.”
Perhaps that’s a reference to political pundit Jim Pinkerton, who on Friday announced he was joining the Huckabee campaign in a senior position.
