Ouch! - A Twofer

It appears the Thompson campaign has decided to liven up its communications strategy.

In light of Mike Huckabee’s heartfelt apology to Mitt Romney for making reference to Romney’s religion in the New York Times Magazine, we at the Thompson Campaign would like to offer Huckabee our own heartfelt apologies for some references we’ve made about his record as Governor of Arkansas.

We apologize for pointing out that as Governor of Arkansas, Huckabee offered in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. That’s something he’d probably just as soon no one talk about.

A recent Washington Post-ABC News Iowa poll of Iowans likely to vote in the Republican caucus stated illegal immigration as their top issue of concern, tied with the war in Iraq.

There's more. I guess rubbing salt in a wound can hurt. But I don't thinking this will hurt Thompson. Not so for Huck. The tactic will generate some buzz and highlight both issues. I imagine Huckabee is pleased to be in the top tier.

'Bout time Fred's campaign put on the size 12 boots and started to put them boots upside the competition. :)
