Jim Kelly (not verified) says:
No rocket physics here, Governor Huckabee lost the race as soon as he hired Ed Rollins.
The hiring of Ed Rollins as campaign manager was the end of the Huckster. Rollins has been B Class candidate manager for many years now.
The Perot debacle damaged his standing within the G.O.P., and he became a pariah a year afterward, when, after leading Christie Whitman's narrow win over New Jersey Governor Jim Florio, he bragged about paying off black ministers to suppress the black vote in urban New Jersey—a boast he later claimed to be making up.
Ed Rollins was working down in Florida last year (Kathleen Harris) and left in the middle of her Campaign, receiving negative feed back on that move for leaving a candidate in the mist of a race.......
Ed Rollins then came up to New York State to take the Reins of: "I See Black Helicopters Flying by my Window, K.T McFarland".......(What a story that was) His last campaign was decidedly B-list.
His candidate (McFarland) LOST.....To MY candidate, Mayor John Spencer of Yonkers in a GOP primary ....
In short, with the Huckster hiring Rollins reflected a lot to the money people in New York. He also has the GOP establishment working against him. Good politician but.....
If anything, it's been a source of great amusement to the pros I know. Rollins is a talking head these days, nothing more. His joining Huckabee's campaign says much more about Huckabee's not-ready-for-prime-time status as demonstrated by his rather overt gullibility than anything about credibility. Credible candidates don't hire folks like Rollins.
