I just finished four Sunday shows on TiVo. The biggest downside of Governor Romney's new ads highlighting policy positions taken by Mr. Huckabee and Mr. McCain is that the media's sound byte is that "Romney has gone negative". It was even stated that a nasty fight in the trenches will favor Governor Romney.
Neither of the ads are personal in nature or call character into question. The intent of the ads is to remind Republican voters that Mr. Huckabee and Mr. McCain are not champions of William F. Buckley, Jr.-style conservatism that recognizes all three pillars -- national defense, economic, and social.
While media-types continue to be fascinated with Mr. McCain and Mr. Huckabee, it is interesting how much they do not like Mitt Romney. I respect liberal Juan Williams -- I think he is a great American, but he absolutely goes out of his way to take shots at Romney. It reminds me of President Bush's treatment by the media.
