Your not kidding! I saw that interview, and was totally disgusted with Brit’s remarks about “so much for a happy victor” comment, after Wallace totally ambushed him with a bunch of personal questions that had nothing to do with the issues, or Mike’s victory.
You have to see the bigger picture regarding what Wallace did.
Huckabee surged on being "likeable" in a state that prides itself on being first in a caucus process that emphasizes personal contact with the candidates. That's why Huckabee seems to have settled on a slogan of "I Like [M]Ike." However, with Rollins as his manager, and with states with different perspectives coming up (like South Carolina -- what did Rollins say in the Wallace interview, that South Carolina was a more "negative" state?), then it is news to know that the plan was to be nice and likeable in Iowa to solidify the bump in the polls, enough to be a little less likeable in South Carolina where the negativity won't matter as much with Iowa already in the bank.
That was the point of the Carpenter post (even if you don't like her methods), and that was the point of the Wallace interview.
