Drudge goes after Huckabee
Drudge reaches back to what I think is 1998 to present a Huckabee that appears pretty crazy. Drudge also links to another undated piece attacking Huckabee for his involvement in the release of another violent rapist.
So, what do we learn? That the Drudge that rules our world doesn't like Huckabee, and that he's happily relinking ancient articles provided by some other campaign's opposition research.
Also, we're about to see how an understaffed Huckabee campaign gets batted around by a torrent of muck because its small staff doesn't have a frontrunner's quick response team.
(I'm sorry, but Drudge matters, especially among GOP issues.)

It's looking more and more that Huckabee has created a schism in the normally ultra-unified GOP.
Drudge is on the "War & Profits" side, Huckabee is on the "God" side.
I still doubt that the GOP will tear itself apart, but this schism will make it considerably harder for them to regroup after the general election.

True. It would seem that none of the candidates look likely to have broad strong backing of all elements which would make organizing for a general election far tougher.

I wish I didn't dislike Drudge so much. He presents himself as a modern incarnation of the WWII intrepid reporter, but writes sensationalist headlines that stir up fear.
He's part New York Times respectability, and part Weekly World News shock n' scandal.
