Most of us probably couldn't miss the Drudge headline today which reads, "DEMS HOLD FIRE ON HUCKABEE; SEE 'EASY KILL' IN GENERAL ELECTION."
Jonathan Martin of Politco.com has more of the story though. He emailed DNC officials about the veracity of the story, and Communications Director Karen Finney responded, claiming that the report is coming from the Romney camp, not the DNC:
"We always appreciate having our hard work noticed, and we know Mitt Romney likes to feel special, but the truth is we've been tracking Huckabee for over a year. The Romney campaign should take heart in the fact that the Drudge Report is buying their spin hook, line and sinker because nothing in that story came from us."
Who knows what the real story is, but it seems to me that presidential hopeful Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) would have a lot to gain by such an attack on rival Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR), who has been overtaking Romney in recent polls. The DNC on the other hand, if a Huckabee nomination really is what they'd want, would have a lot to lose by revealing that now.
