Huckabee Campaign Out of Dough

Good news: the American Spectator says that Mike Huckabee's campaign is out of money.

Mike Huckabee is asking his senior staff to keep working for him without pay, while lower level campaign staff are seeing their salaries cut dramatically or eliminated altogether.
"The goal is to get a leaner, meaner campaign structure moving into Super Tuesday," says a senior campaign adviser.
But many of those being asked to take the cut are refusing, and walking away, leaving the campaign with holes to fill.

The campaign is trying to save money for national ads leading into Super Tuesday. As I noted last week, Huckabee has discovered that he has little support outside of his evangelical grassroots operation (also known as the ministry phone tree). It takes money to reach people and it looks like he doesn't have any. We'll know more exactly just how much he's got when he makes his Q4 FEC filing at the end of the month.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal ran a front page article on the Huckabee campaign's problems. It sounds like a seriously amateur outfit. Here's a taste:

He was hardly the ideal organizer. Asked what Mr. Henry knew about Michigan, Mr. Saltsman says he knew where it was. Mr. Henry, asked about his experience in organizing events, says, "I was student-body president at my university."
Just 36 hours before Mr. Huckabee landed in Michigan, the campaign had yet to put out his schedule for the trip. Mr. Saltsman huddled in his Myrtle Beach hotel room for a midnight conference call with Mr. Henry, Sarah Huckabee -- the candidate's 25-year-old daughter and national field director -- and Mr. Huckabee's daughter-in-law, Lauren Huckabee.
As they went over the Michigan plans, Mr. Saltsman was prepared for the worst. At the staff meeting earlier that night, Sarah Huckabee had reported that the entire Michigan team had threatened to quit because they were so frustrated at the task ahead.

So, how long after Super Tuesday will Huckabee stick around and who do his followers turn to next?

Comments

I wrote in a post here right after Huckabee's concession speech in South Carolina that he "sounds like he's out of money."

American Spectator ain't got nothing on me.

Next we'll be finding out that he's made a deal with McCain to join him on the ticket.

2 Lots of people are going to be out of dough when those margin calls start coming in on Black Tuesday.

Nobody could imagine that the Huckster would have a machine like the Clintons, for example.

But this, this would be an insult to the Beverly Hillbilly's. Good grief.

Now we know why he makes so many impromptu goofs: no policies, no coaching, no staff. This guy is half-assed winging it, and he wants to be President?

I will breathe quite the sigh of relief if this turns out to be the case and Huckabee cannot continue.

My question now is, where do his voters go?

5 Where his voters should have been all along.
BTW - I just talked to my pal in Albany and he said that MittCare is starting to bleed primary care physicians out of Mass. I know that the program is in the red and the more punitive phase is kicking in, but has anyone else heard that the doctors are getting that unhappy?

6 Nevermind all that, Huckaboob doesn't need money or campaign staff, because Jesus wants him to win!

Rhodeymark, if that MittCare thing is true, I can't say I'm a bit surprised. It is to be expected, in fact.

JUST SAY NO to MittCare!

8 If Huckabee implodes and Fred can hang in there, maybe he can pick up most of Huck's devoted Jesus Mafia. They don't have money, but they do have formation discipline. They won't back Romney (Satanist/Mormon), Rudy (Pro-abortion), or McCain (too friendly with Democrats). Throw in the specter of a McAmnesty meltdown on camera, and it could become an endurance contest.

We need more loaves and fishes! Dammit!!! Who the hell believed that jackass Huckabee when he said all we needed was five loaves and two fishes?!!?!!!!?

Fred is done. Deal with it- I have.

I don't remember exactly where, but after the SC primaries I saw a poll that showed that for Huckster's supporters, McCain was overwhelmingly their 2nd choice. Second choice for McCain supporters? Huckster.

Posted by: Hollowpoint at January 22, 2008 11:31 AM (plsiE)

11 McCain is a socially conservative amnesty supporter, just like Huckabee. I don't see much reason for issues-driven Huckster supporters to not like McCain.

I also don't understand the seething hatred you get from Dobson and other evangies for McCain. If you google Dobson and McCain you will find quite a few instances where McCain praises Dobson while acknowledging that Dobson isn't supporting him, but then Dobson statements that would make more sense if he was speaking of Ted Kennedy or something.

Posted by: funky chicken at January 22, 2008 11:54 AM (I+jPP)

I know Fred's dead. So why did I just put more money into his admittedly feeble hopeless campaign chest ...as soon as I heard that Huck' was out of dough? Hmm. Was it because "hope springs eternal"? Or because I'm a frickin' moron?

...and that Rudy appears to be considered DOA too ....

...and that there's not a snowball's chance in hell I'm voting for any other running dog Republican than either Fred or Rudy ....

...well, considering where I'm posting this to ....

McCain is a socially conservative amnesty supporter, just like Huckabee.

FWIW

CNN Entrance polls for South Carolina...33% of SC repub primary voters listed Immigration as their most important issue. And Huckabee won a plurality of those voters.

----------------------

Most Important Issue: Immigration (33%)
Giuliani 2%
Huckabee 36%
Hunter 1%
McCain 4%
Paul 9%
Romney 30%
Thompson 18%

----------------------

Of course their other choices were the economy, Iraq and terrorism -- no mention of life/abortion which may have scored higher in importance among these folks.

Posted by: hit and run at January 22, 2008 12:14 PM (jjNS6)

14 hit and run, those are the entrance polls from Iowa, where 60% of voters were evangelical Christians and no one knew what Huckabee actually did on those issues.

Posted by: Gabriel Malor at January 22, 2008 12:22 PM (1Ug6U)

15 hit and run. Well, either they are in favor of more illegal immigration and therefore voted for Huckabee, or they are absolute MORONS (not in the AOS way, either) and want controls on immigration but supported the Huckster because some friend at church told them to.

Posted by: funky chicken at January 22, 2008 12:23 PM (I+jPP)

Pass the plate.

Huckalooyah!

Posted by: Joe Mama at January 22, 2008 12:37 PM (QA8jC)

IA? Shit.

Here's SC. He still gets the plurality. And they call it illegal immigration, not just immigration. But, McCain gets 24%. There, that should be sufficiently muddy.

---------------------------

Most Important Issue : Illegal Immigration (26%)
Giuliani 2%
Huckabee 33%
Hunter 0%
McCain 24%
Paul 4%
Romney 16%
Thompson 21%
---------------------------

Posted by: hit and run at January 22, 2008 12:39 PM (jjNS6)

they are absolute MORONS (not in the AOS way, either) and want controls on immigration but supported the Huckster because some friend at church told them to.

Or they simply went and read his website or listened to him speak in the last few days/weeks -- in which he basically just channeled Mark Krikorian.

Posted by: hit and run at January 22, 2008 12:43 PM (jjNS6)

19 If I had to guess, I'd say Huckabee's followers will turn to Romney, reluctantly. I see him winning the nomination and predict a twelve minute orgasm for Hugh Hewitt.
