The McCain Mutiny

Pretty good posting here from Adam’s Blog.

Noteworthy excerpts:

 At this point in the race, John McCain is taking the tact of Bob Dole. Dole, in the waning days of the 1996 campaign after he won South Carolina, quit debating because he knew that appearing in a debate beside other candidates could only hurt him. It’s a sign of weakness and an inability to defend your ideas. If McCain is afraid to take on Mike Huckabee, what’s Barack Obama going to do to him in the fall?

I’m under no allusions that Huckabee has a great shot of winning the nomination. The odds are against him. However, I remember him being in single digits and facing the end of his campaign in August when he finished second in the Iowa strawpoll. I remember us being told the Huckaboom went bust in late December, and then he won the Iowa caucuses. I remember reading his political obituary after the Florida primary and within eleven days, voters in eight states gave him victories. Governor Huckabee has the type of character and determination to beat the odds that I refuse to underestimate him.
