How Does Huckabee Fight Romney and Thompson?
December 20, 2007
As I rode through Iowa with Mike Huckabee on his bus Wednesday, we talked about the uphill battle he faces when it comes to campaign infrastructue. Romney and Thompson "oppo research" teams have packed a wallop and haven''t let up in two weeks. Will he get buried?
Watch above. The transcription is below:
Brody: Do you wonder at times how you can withstand something like that especially based on the fact that you are being outspent and the infrastructure - they have a more detailed infrastructure especially?
Huckabee: We certainly understand that the resources of the opponents are formidable, staggeringly formidable. They can put a piece of mail in the mailbox every day. They can run television commercials where there's no time to watch the programs 'cause there are attack ads on everyday.
There's nothing I can do about that other than use what resources we have and to try to tell the truth and get our message out there, but ultimately what I sense is happening - people everywhere will come to me, look me in the eye and say "We are claiming Isaiah 54 for you that the weapons formed against you will not prosper." And you know I just have to deep down believe that there is just a hunger in this nation for truth. There is a hunger in this nation for authenticity. They want to necessarily vote for somebody because he's told everyone what a lousy guy the other one is.
They want to see can I take the punches. And am I willing to continue fighting for them even when I'm having to fight all around me those who want to trip me up and not let me get there.
