Got it.....
Comparing
Huckabee and
Romney reminded me of something that I couldn't quite pin down.....
Finally got it.
Huck is Sheriff Andy and Mitt is Deputy Barney.
Sheriff Andy knew human nature, and Deputy Barney knew all the rules.

12/31: Well, poop.
I've been defending Huck on grounds of basic leadership abilities, but this latest mess with planning a negative ad, then deciding not to run it, is a deal-breaker. In the Mayberry metaphor, it makes Huck look more like the town drunk Otis.
Two possibilities:
1. He simply can't manage his staff. If you can't manage a dozen people, you're not qualified to manage millions.
2. There's an opposition mole on the staff, a David Brock type. If you can't detect and eject a mole, you're not paranoid enough to be President.
