Dawn
posted in General |It is said that the darkest hour occurs just before dawn. If so, the Repubs can take heart. There are two rays of light on the horizon – Sarah Pilan and Mike Huckabee. Sarah is speaking in support of Repubs all over the country and is being very well received. The Dems may sneer, but all of their efforts to destroy her have failed. Her winning ways have won support from both Rs and Ds, and she likely made the difference in the Georgia Senatorial runoff race that scuttled the Dem hopes for a veto proof Senate. Huckabee now has his own one hour TV show on Sundays evenings (try it if you haven’t tuned in). He’s pretty good even when not playing his guitar. If nothing else, the show will build on name recognition across the USA.
These two might not be the smartest duo or the best campaigners, but they have a lot of appeal to most Americans. It is a long way till the fall of 2012, but candidate appeal can offset Slick Willies or Bama wordsmithing, particularly when the Dems provide a lot of ammunition. Sarah and Huck – keep your eyes on them.
