Huckabee did produce ad

How can Lisa Riley Roche's story (Jan. 4) credibly claim that "Huckabee resisted the temptation to respond in kind, instead relying on his wit and humor?" While he hasn't had the money to respond to Romney's barrage of contrast ads, Huckabee did produce a negative ad, which he showed with great fanfare (and plenty of free publicity) to the national media. However, he claimed to maintain his "Christian" identity by claiming to withdraw the ad at the last minute. But it still ran in Iowa! Romney's ads merely commended Huckabee's positive qualities while challenging him on issues. Huckabee has responded with personal digs at Romney and leveraging anti-Mormon sentiment to his advantage.
