Ed Rollins is Mike Huckabee's National Campaign Chairman. Appearing on this evening's Hardball, the renowned political consultant declined to say that Romney's religion wasn't relevant to the campaign. For good measure, Rollins suggested that a senior Romney aide is . . . an atheist. CHRIS MATTHEWS: Does faith bring you guys together or separate you?
ED ROLLINS: Well, first of all, you and I are Catholics and Ron [Kaufman, senior Romney aide] are you still an atheist or have you basically converted, now that you're rich?

Huck campaign leaves religion card on the table. Ping to Today show list.
There must be a school in Hope, Arkansas that teaches this type of slimy attack politics because Huckabee and the Clintons run remarkably similar campaign styles.
Time to collect my winnings.
...a Rove plant!
I watched this live and it was said in jest and was kind of funny. Obviously, it would have been a better joke off camera.
This youtube video is funny but there probably is an element of truth in the satire......

Maybe so as far as the atheist crack. Even so it’s a very touchy thing in the current context. In any case, there was absolutely nothing funny in the way Rollins declined to say Romney’s religion wasn’t relevant.
The more I hear of Huckabee, the more I dislike the guy.
Yeah, I have dropped him down to one level above Ron Paul on my list.
I think it is relevant to quite a few people. As much as we might not want to say this, I think being a Morman is a big problem for Romney. Just as there was a whisper campaign against McCain in SC in 2000, I expect there will be another one, but much worse against Romney this year. Most of America believes Mormanism is just a little bit strange and I believe this will show up in Iowa and in South Carolina. Of course, in the PC world in which we live, no one will want to discuss this publicly.
Ron Kaufman is Andy Card’s brother in law.
Was Ed Rollins supposed to lie about the fact that the voters will decide?
Your supposed to say that religion is out of bounds and not up for discussion, then you slime the other guy behind the scenes.
I said that about willard when huckster was a single digit man. Now I would not vote for either of them. LOL
Pretty funny line from Ed. Anybody who takes what he said seriously must be a liberal, because liberals don’t joke about their religion, which is politics.
They've also mostly similar opinions on everything too. Maybe they did go to the same school.
Rollins is ‘a ass’ ....
can’t get enough of that photog!
says a lot, right there
