HUCKABEE BUYING SIGNATURES TO GET ON THE VIRGINIA BALLOT

Tweet

Mitt Report has the latest on the Huck campaign:

Mike Huckabee has always been the most vocal about Romney 'buying' his support. At Ames, he accused Romney of buying his support, at CPAC, the same thing. Now apparently Huckabee has taken up the practice of buying support himself and he is now trying to hide it.

On Monday the website Too Conservitive had a post by a Vincent Harris, who is officially "coordinating Governor Huckabee’s petition drive in NOVA," promising to pay those who would work for Huckabee to obtain signatures 50 cents per signature.

Just hours later however as the word spread, the language promising to pay money for the signatures was deleted. Luckily, Mitt Report saved a copy of the orginial text. The language earlier in the day looked like this:

"I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I am in the state for a couple weeks coordinating Governor Huckabee's petition drive in NOVA. If anyone wants to help (50 cents a signature!) please shoot me an e-mail to vincent.harris@explorehuckabee.com"

That's a lot per signature! Why not get volunteers that give freely of their time and energy. Mitt always seems to have an army of such people.

The language now looks like this:

"I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I am in the state for a couple weeks coordinating Governor Huckabee's petition drive in NOVA. If anyone wants to help please shoot me an e-mail to vincent dot harris @explorehuckabee.com"

No mention of the 50 cents/person. Interesting.

It appears that Huckabee is buying his signatures and now is trying to cover it up.

Mikey, Mikey, Mikey. You're looking less and less like the model citizen you pretend to be on TV. You accuse Mitt of buying votes in Iowa, but what are you up to in Virginia?
