This is a trip. Mike Huckabee calls a press conference, saying he has dirt on Mitt Romney.
The corporate media obligingly shows up, and Huckabee says, Wait. Had a change of heart. Won't be airing my negative ad after all. Taking the high road.
Then proceeds to show the ad at the press conference that he will not be airing on TV, because he's such a good guy.
"The assembled media found the display hilarious and at several points laughed out loud," the NYTimes reported.
(Would love to have seen Huckabee's response to that.)
Huckabee "spoke at a dais in front of a huge banner that said, "Enough is Enough." Placed around the room were poster boards criticizing Mr. Romney for various things."

"Asked if he wasn’t being hypocritical by showing the ad to a roomful of cameras that are likely to record it and show it — for free — around the country, Mr. Huckabee said he was showing it to reporters only because reporters were so cynical that if he didn’t show it, they would not believe that he really had made such an ad.
"It’s never too late to do the right thing," he said. He added that he would love to sit down and have a debate with Mr. Romney, at which point a Fox News reporter piped up that Fox would love to broadcast such an event.
Oh, please, Fox. Give us a one-on-one with Huckabee & Romney.
