Mike Huckabee: Serious Competition for Sarah Palin in 2012
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailySarah Palin may have met her political match in Mike Huckabee. Both have been criss-crossing the country on book tours. Both hold degrees in communication. Both hunt and fish. Both use various media to hit their target audiences. But while Palin often generates anger, Huckabee takes the Will Rogers road. He has an aw-shucks demeanor, freely cracking jokes, shaking hands and chatting with the media while Palin shuns reporters. Already road-tested by a 2008 White House run, Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and Baptist minister, may just be the strongest GOP candidate to take on Palin in ...
Princess Diana and Sarah Palin: Mirror Images?
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailySarah Palin is the political Princess Diana. That's what one GOP source told me recently. "Let's be honest. If she didn't have looks, we wouldn't be talking about her. You wouldn't be covering her. She's like Princess Diana." Shallow? Yes. But isn't there truth there? Princess Diana captured hearts at age 19 when Prince Charles selected her as a bride. Sarah Palin hit the scene when Sen. John McCain picked her as his running mate, although she'd already had a spread in Vogue as Alaska's governor. ...
GOP's Fundraising Disadvantage Worries Some Republicans
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyMost Republicans like their chances heading into this year's midterm elections, but some in the GOP worry the party's anemic fundraising may put up roadblocks on the way to victories at the polls, the The Wall Street Journal reported. The Republican National Committee, the party's national organizing body, has $5.3 million cash on hand for the last two months of the campaign, compared with the $10.9 million its Democratic counterpart has. That has some Republicans anxious, and others angry, that the party isn't doing all it can to assure big wins in November. Republican strategist Ed ...
Michael Steele Has Been 'a Disaster' for GOP, Says Strategist Ed Rollins
By Politics Daily Staff - Politics DailyRepublican strategist Ed Rollins on Sunday called RNC Chairman Michael Steele's stewardship of the party "a disaster," saying he has "failed miserably to do the things you're supposed to do: raise money, basically go out and articulate a message." Rollins, who served as national campaign director for Ronald Reagan's 1984 bid and as a former chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, made his comments Sunday on "Face the Nation." With the midterm elections bearing down, Rollins said, "what [Steele] says or does in the next 11 weeks is not going to matter" on Election Day, ...
Huck Hires Ed 'Walking Around' Rollins
By Eric Schulzke - Politics DailyI know I've been picking on Huck a lot lately, but I do have some legitimate excuses. First, I actually nearly joined his camp a couple of weeks ago, for about 24 hours, and actually responded to a telephone survey as a Huck supporter. Just prior to that, I wrote a post titled "Plastic & Elastic," expressing my abiding frustration with Romney.Then I became disaffected with Huck, big time. What looked like authenticity quickly became lunacy. I looked closer at his policy prescriptions and his record and saw a steady pattern of lightweight deliberation. His tax policy is laughable, and ...
