Response to Huckabee Event from Romney Campaign

From Spokesman Kevin Madden:

“We're proud that Governor Romney has run a campaign about the issues that are important to voters. Governor Romney has worked hard to talk about the vision and experience he has when it comes to keeping taxes low, cutting wasteful spending and securing our borders. He's worked hard to make his case to voters about leading a Republican Party that will strengthen the American family."Mike Huckabee's troubling record is clearly not holding up well under scrutiny.

“To say one thing one minute and then turn around and show an attack ad to reporters the next will, obviously, leave folks with a very cynical view of Mike Huckabee and his message.”

“Mike Huckabee has turned from nice to very hot-tempered now that his record has been examined by voters.

“It's Mike Huckabee's record. It's definitely a tough record for him to defend, but it's still a record that belongs to Mike Huckabee."

Earlier statement: 

For those of you who saw it with your own eyes, there's no need for me to describe how bizarre it was.

But for those of you who didn't, The Politico has a report of Mike Huckabee's meltdown at a campaign press conference today where he displayed a negative TV ad attacking Governor Romney, at the same time he said he was running a “positive” campaign.

The Key Quote from The Politico:

“It's the sort of gambit that will instantly trigger cynicism among the political class, especially given the confusion that surrounded the move.”
