Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has looked good in the Republican presidential debates, and desperately wants to finish in the top two or three in the upcoming Ames, Iowa straw poll...which could make him a "top tier" candidate. That probably explains today's shot across the bow of his competitor, Mitt Romney. Of course, Ronald Reagan used to urge that all Republicans adopt the 11th commandment--thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican. Does that still matter to Republicans? We may find out.
And I wonder if there's going to be enough room for Huckabee--Romney's money and Giuliani's star power and McCain's entrenched support will make that top tier tough to crack.
