Republicans always accuse Democrats of waging "class warfare" when the Democrats say they want to raise taxes (they say this a lot). But now we have Republicans waging class warfare ... against other Republicans. That, at least, is the message one takes from this new Huckabee online ad:
In this analogy, Huckabee is the Horatio Alger candidate who takes down the Richie Rich-like Mitt Romney. What's striking is that this sort of class-based appeal seems to resonate among Republican voters. It's like the GOP has become the party of Sam's Club or something.
