"Well...maybe I am a whatever you need kind of guy!"
Our own Matt Lewis posted, what I believe (and if I'm mistaken - please set me straight Matt) to be a post that was designed to sort of defang the idea that Huckabee isn't jockeying for a VP slot with Rudy. He cited a clip from my buddy Scott Wilder's show in which the Huck-Wagon makes a very clear assertive statement on abortion - and it's importance to the GOP:
Mike Huckabee: It Means President Hillary Rodham Clinton. It means the Republican Party loses a whole lot of folks including people like me who didn't become pro life because of my politics I became political because of my pro life convictions. That's what worries me when I see some of the people who say I've argued it both ways, I can be for or I can be against. Hey whatever you need. Well I'm not a whatever you need kind of a guy.
Spotting this I tuned into Scott's program at 6pm EST this hour only to hear Scott express throrough dismay at Huck's less than straightforward answer to George Stephanopolis on ABC yesterday when asked very clearly what it would mean to have a pro-abortion candidate leading the ticket. The Huckster panned on the substantive question by saying it would be a cheap shot... thus putting him at complete odds with his earlier answer FROM JUNE 15.
The difference now - as Scott pondered aloud - is that Huck possibly sees himself a spot on the ticket or perhaps in the cabinet of a Giuliani administration.
Something I was publicly speculating about weeks ago...
