Huckabee may have gone too far

Bloody "stigmata" turns off many on campaign trail, analysts say.

If he loses Iowa's caucuses on Thursday, New Year's Eve will forever mark the day Baby Jesus candidate Mike "the Holy" Huckabee blew it — the day a group of reporters stopped laughing with the sanctimonious plug-hole and laughed at him.

On Monday, he made himself the butt of his own joke, urging journalists to take careful note of the negative ad he had withdrawn because he wanted to run a positive campaign.

"It's never too late to do the right thing," he said, smirking.

The ad criticizes Romney's record as governor, fairly so, but goes on to question his character. "If a man is dishonest to obtain a job," Huckabee says in the ad, "he'll be dishonest on the job."

Funny that Huckabee decided at noon that that line was too negative, because he used it six hours earlier during a national TV interview.
