Huckabee Broke

Less than a month after a huge upset victory, and promises that fundraising would be ramped up, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is asking his senior staff to keep working for him without pay, while lower level campaign staff are seeing their salaries cut dramatically or eliminated altogether.

"The goal is to get a leaner, meaner campaign structure moving into Super Tuesday," says a senior campaign adviser.

But many of those being asked to take the cut are refusing, and walking away, leaving the campaign with holes to fill.

I have no idea if this is true, but after all the rumors and inuendo the media has thrown at Fred, it’s just refreshing to see another candidate get the brunt of some of it.

I’ll also add that if it’s true, it’s sad it did not happen before SC. What a waste if we lose Fred just as there is hope Huckabee may be gone soon.

[rineaux]

NO WAY!!! He just had that kung foolish bbq fundraiser with Chuck N on Sunday.

Well... maybe those two boys of his ate the profits.

No biggie, the staff will just have to set more squirrel traps.

The dope from hope needs to go home.

Maybe huck will bring his son in and the staff can live off of dog for a while.

[rineaux]

LOL.

His boys will be selling squirrel meat on the side of the road to raise funds.

“I have no idea if this is true, but after all the rumors and inuendo the media has thrown at Fred, it’s just refreshing to see another candidate get the brunt of some of it.”

Me too. But bet it didn’t come from Carl Cameron! He just loves the Huck and McCain too.

[cquiggy]

Maybe he needs to sell some more snake oil. The media gave him everything except cash. Goodbye Huck a Yuck.

You heard it here first on FR!

Huck will have done his job keeping evangelicals from forming behind Hunter or Thompson. Now he can go home and hand the race to Romney and McCain.

Huckabee press plane grounded
Posted: 08:18 PM ET
(CNN) – President hopeful Mike Huckabee will no longer be providing a press plane for the traveling press covering his campaign.

Huckabee’s press secretary Alice Stewart tells CNN that “flying around with a bunch of empty seats was no longer practical.” The campaign has provided a plane for the media and staff since Huckabee’s win in Iowa in early January, though reporters pay their own way.

Monday’s press plane from Little Rock to Atlanta was mostly empty with fewer than a dozen media members on board, and the flight from Orlando, where Huckabee is campaigning, back to Atlanta will be the last one.

Stewart did not rule out adding a press plane again, if the situation called for it, and said that the campaign is “regrouping” after several consecutive losses as it prepares for Florida’s primary.

I remember seeing that thread. ReagansRaiders apparently did have it right.

On top of having issues with his record and his policies, I do not think Huckabee has run an honorable campaign. The Thompson people admit his sleazy push polling hurt Fred in SC and I would not be sorry to see Huckabee reap some of what he’s sown.
