I and
others
agree with your take Phil. This was a very effective outing for
Huckabee. Moreover, Thompson on Fox News Sunday gave him an assist
by largely echoing Huckabee's main attack on Romney: he's a flip
flopper. Although Romney has been on the offense, contending
(rightly) that Huckabee lacks foreign policy chops Thompson made
the point that Romney is equally bereft of experience. UPDATE: On This Week,McCainjoins the chorus contending that Romney has
"changed his mind on many issues" and making the best case for his
own candidacy: "But most of all, people want somebody who has the
experience and the judgment to lead this country. And I've got that
record and they're beginning to focus on that, because the
transcendent challenge of the 21st century is radical Islamic
extremism, and I believe that I've shown the judgment necessary to
lead, because I've been involved in every national security issue
for the last 20 years that has faced this nation."
