Well, Club For Growth is crowing about Governor Huckabee’s endorsement of Don Young. I’m on record saying that this was something I couldn’t go along with it.  I support Sean Parnell for Congress.

Huckabee didn’t pick the right guy. Nobody does 100 percent of the time. Huckabee’s choice comes from mostly out of loyalty for Young’s support. I can understand it, I don’t agree with it.

That said, the Club for Growth is full of hot air:

Over the past year, the Club for Growth has been criticized by Huckabee and some conservatives for painting the Arkansas Governor as a fiscal liberal. If ever there was proof that that the Club was right from the start, it is this outrageous endorsement of Rep. Young who embodies the worst of the Republican Party’s wasteful habits.

So, endorsing Don Young proves one is a fiscal liberal? Perhaps. I mean after all, Huckabee called him a hero to taxpayers with the bridge to nowhere, etc. Oh wait, that wasn’t Mike Huckabee, that was Grover Norquist and Americans for Tax Reform. (Clarification from someone who works at ATR.)

Why hasn’t the CFG run an ad explaining why Don Young is a corrupt fiscal liberal just like Grover Norquist? Probably because Norquist is one of the most powerful men in Washington. You give him this type of smackdown and you’ll smart from it. Huckabee, though is fair game. I don’t believe it’s true of Norquist (who I have many disagreements with) nor do I think it’s true of Huckabee.

To me, this show’s how blindly destructive the Club’s Huckahate is. Is there little press release going to hurt Don Young? Is it going to make people more willing to vote for Sean Parnell? Or, if this thing spreads will it make Alaska’s huckavoters (Huckabee finished 2nd in Alaska) give pause about whether they want to give Parnell their support and give the Club a victory in the Huckawar.

Instead of making this election about Don Young, Sean Parnell, the future of Alaska, and Congressional reform,  CFG is trying to turn this into a battle between them and Mike Huckabee, thus reducing the chance of their guy and my guy winning up there. It’s stupid and it’s destructive, but it’s anti-Huckabee, so the CFG says, “Let’s do it.”

Finally, Kathryn Lopez declares, “Goodbye, Huck.” as if:

1) She’s had anything positive to say about him since Iowa and there was any chance of her supporting him in any future effort after he beat Romney.

2) One Endorsement finishes a political career. This has never been the case, and if so who is going to go and check everyone’s “Endorsement purity” record to decide who is forever voted off?
