Ed Rollins Slams GOP Foes

Friday, January 04, 2008

At a hole-in-the wall Des Moines eatery, Mike Huckabee's campaign chairman loudly bashed their top rival presidential candidate Mitt Romney and made several predictions to two national television reporters.

I overheard Rollins' conversation while dining in a restaurant called Winston's located close to Huckabee's Iowa headquarters and took notes on my computer. Below is a compilation of what I heard:

Huckabee adviser acknowledges plan to go negative in South Carolina

In a testy exchange just after his candidate won Thursday's Iowa caucuses, Mike Huckabee's campaign chairman acknowledged discussing the potential Huckabee would "go negative" in South Carolina and boasted about onetime-frontrunner Rudy Giuliani's foundering campaign.

"To me, hitting somebody, knocking somebody down, is a great feeling," he said. "Firing out a negative ad just feels amazing."

Speaking on Fox Thursday night, just after networks declared Huckabee had won Iowa, Rollins said he was "happy to confirm" another piece of his overheard conversation -- that Rudy Giuliani's campaign was "done" and that the former New York mayor was "hurt terribly by those police cruises with his girlfriends," referring to reports that Giuliani's third wife received NYPD security details before their affair even became public.

Taking Gomer Huckleberry's campaign into traditional, negative, dirty tactics is going to offset the one advantage that Huckleberry benefitted from in Iowa. He was the Republican candidate who was going to change the tone. I, frankly, think that Iowa was set up perfectly for a Huckleberry win with the large evangelical vote. But, Huckleberry will not be the Repub nominee. Rollins will only serve to accelerate that eventuality.
