Mike Huckabee is one of them

Huckabee is going to extraordinary efforts to try and capture the worst of the South Carolina vote.

He said he wants to amend the Constitution to God's standards. He compared homosexuality to bestiality. He signed the "No Amnesty Pledge" against illegal immigration. He even came out supporting the Confederate flag on SC's flag.

He's pitching hard to the worst of South Carolina, and, pay attention here, it's working. RCP still shows a sizable gap (last polling day on the 13th?,) but the more recent polling shows Huckabee closing.

Mason Dixon - McCain 27%, Huckabee 25%.
Rasmussen - McCain 24%, Huckabee 24%.

Get yer white robe out of the closet, because South Carolina's going to pick its candidate.

Later: A "pro confederate flag" group runs an ad for Huckabee.

  • Appealing the the ugly underbelly of the southern Republican party actually works in the GOP!? I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

    I wonder if every pander that helps Huck in the primary will work against him in the general.

  • It will. But these aren't just panders, these are panders far right.

    He's going to reargue the confederate flag in 2008?
