In a fresh round of GOP infighting over the soul of the battered party, Mike Huckabee just took a shot at a host of potential primary rivals, disparaging Eric Cantor's new group to revive the GOP, the National Council for a New America, and the high-profile Republicans that make up the group's "panel of experts." The experts Huckabee was referring to include Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and Bobby Jindal, all of whom are being talked about for 2012. Huckabee's broadside came...

Huckabee made the remarks in southwest Virginia's Tazewell County on Monday while campaigning with Bob McDonnell, the Republican candidate for governor. His appearance was recorded and posted on YouTube by a state Democratic operative.

Mike Huckabee's speech today at CPAC, where he defended the Social Conservatives in the Republican Party against attacks that they are to blame for recent election losses. Huckabee makes a strong case that Social Conservatives are the heart of the GOP, and are the most reliable Republican voters. He urges reconciliation between the two wings of the Conservative Movement - Fiscal Conservatives, and Social Conservatives - in order to make the movement "fly" once again. . . . .

Since when has Huck ever been critical of a rival, overtly or otherwise? Huckabee had some interesting observations about Sarah Palin, a potential 2012 opponent, suggesting that she didn’t earn her spurs and was more appealing to the base of the party because she hadn’t been scrutinized in the primary. “What John McCain did for her was to give her the capacity to sort of leapfrog over the process and get right to the center stage,” he said of the GOP’s vice presidential nominee.
