How are they spinning the results of last night’s caucuses? I know Hannity is a Guliani guy, and Limbaugh is an establishment Republican. I can’t imagine they’re really happy about Huckabee. Are they just talking about the Democrats? ---

I was driving around listening to some of Rush today. He was lecturing the masses that Huckabee was a populist not a conservative. Frankly he sounded desperate and shrill, just as he did when the real George Bush lost his bid for re-election. ---

I think Paul is referring to the election of 1992. ---

I was at work so I kind of listened to it in the background but Huckabee was on Hannity’s show today. Hannity basically said that now he is in the forefront and there will be lot more tough questions that come up about his record as governor. He asked him about the pardons he gave and the tax increases. Huckabee was given plenty of oppurtunity to answer. It was very cordial but he wasn’t given softball questions.
