Des Moines, Iowa Is Huckabee boxing himself in? Last night, Mike Huckabee accused Mitt Romney of putting his political interests before the interests of his constituents by refusing to grant any pardons during his time as governor. “My opponent says there’s something about judgment,” he said. “I’ll put mine up against his any day. Because my judgment is, you act in the best interest of the people who elected you, not in your own best interest.” In an email to supporters this afternoon, Huckabee once again decried the attacks from his opponents. He also said that he would avoid doing the same:
Does this mean that Huckabee will not run any negative ads after Christmas? Romney’s contrast ads seem to have had an effect. Does Huckabee think that they have done more damage to Romney than to him? There have been persistent rumors that Team Huckabee has been preparing to counterattack Romney on the air (TV specifically). Does this mean those plans have been shelved?
