Working in Iowa
Des Moines Register reports on a couple of Huckabee campaign hires in Iowa. They may be fine fellows and bellcows in the GOP primary. But, by ballot box standards, losers.
In finding this, we also ran across the Club for Growth's slam of Huckabee as a big-spending traitor to the conservative cause.

Why did KTHV put Blake Rutherford on tonight as an "expert" on the Arkansas presidential primary? Then KTHV quoted Rutherford's suggestions on how Mike Huckabee could become president.
Is that the best source KTHV could come up with on the eve of an icestorm? What makes him qualified to talk about primaries, except for the fact who is old man is?

His dad. He was dismantled on the Dave Elswick show, with a guest host, after the election. He's really a hack.
Otherwise, I'm sure I didn't make any friends with that, but regarding Huckabee: I didn't see this, but I got a call from a friend tonight who said she saw the Huckster on TV from Iowa and that he appeared to be missing a tooth. I don't know if that's funny or embarrassing to anybody else, but, if true, it certainly doesn't help Arkansas' image as a backward place to have our former governor going on TV as a presidential candidate missing a tooth. If y'all find a picture of it, or video, it might be worth posting and some digging into.

Come on, nony, I'm not gonna fall for the ol' "Huckabee missing a tooth on TV interview" routine.
I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.
No kidding? He could have been on Neal Conan's NPR call in segment about embarassing public moments.
I didn't catch the whole thing, but some diplomat (US, I think) went into a Mosque where you're supposed to remove your shoes. This guy wore holey socks that day ... his toes were poking out and of course, the media got it all on tape.
Can't wait to see the youtube mashups of toothless Huckabee and "The Arkansas Traveler" playing in the background.
Yee Haw!

It was Paul Freakin' Wolfowitz, Hugh, President of the World Bank, former Deputy Secretary of Defense, architect of the Bush Administration's Mideast strategy. And it was both socks, and you could see both big toes.

Huckabee apparently missed out on a set of braces as a child. His teeth are crooked and it just looks like one is missing. Losing all the weight made his jowls sag further enhancing the toothless look. Dude should see a dentist. He won't and that's cool with me. Anything that prevents someone from taking him seriously as a candidate is cool with me.

He'll be happy to get his teeth fixed if someone else will pay for it. Any generous dentists in the house?
