Romney Drops Mailer In Iowa Hitting Huckabee
In yet another sign of the threat Mike Huckabee's surge poses to Mitt Romney's Presidential hopes, the Romney campaign has just dropped a new mailer hitting Huckabee's tax record and comparing him to -- gasp! -- Bill Clinton. The piece was forwarded to us by a GOP operative:

The huckster is turning out to be possibly the most challenging republican nominee. His track record is moderate. What are dems going to do, attack his religion? That would be devastating.

Looks like a great ad for the republican voter, using the Hope background to tie together Clinton and Huckabee with a big fat bow and touching on all the hot button issues that drive them up the walls.

MIchael A: not only does he appear "moderate", but he's probably going to attract voters because of his criticisms of the Bush "bunker mentality".
Hilarious!

The graphic design is too slick for a mailer of this type. It is not hard-hitting enough to be effective. I think it would make a wonderful CD package. But this king of brutal attack piece needs more vulgar graphic design.

The "audacity of Hope" is real clever. Audacity has that double meaning. Nice one.

As does Hope. Not that often the GOP throws in a good pun in their hit pieces.

I'm sure negative advertising is just what Iowa voters want to see in the Christmas season.

Huckabee successfully defined his personality as a yokel but is losing the race on every other aspect of his candidacy. record, skeletons, policy. he has no money and no organization to fight back against this stuff. he might get the nomination but he's toast.
