Huckabee has Character
If the character of Mike Huckabee, or his honesty as a candidate was ever in question, these concerns were demolished during a monday morning press conference in which he decided to reverse a decision suggested by his campaign advisers to go on the attack against Mitt Romney in Iowa.
We suggest that you read about this story as reported by the Washington Post. More specifically, we recommend that you watch the video highlights of the press conference available in the article.

Mike Huckabee is a rare breed in the political realm. He is someone who has not been changed by politics. You can still see the average, everyday american in him. For this reason his campaign has baffled the modern political media, and charmed so many of us who support him.
Consider the dedication he has to the principles of his christian beliefs. Many candidates have a religious background, but how many of them faithfully practice what they believe, let alone in their campaign? One does not need to be a christian like Mike Huckabee to at least appreciate the traits of honesty, kindness, humility, and self-control that his faith requires of him. I look forward to having some of that in the oval office.

1) Huckabee and Rollins said the decision was made minutes before the news conference, but the television stations said they recieved the cancel order at 10 AM--two hours before the conference. There was plenty of time to take down the placards but Huckabee chose to leave them up.
2) Huckabee didn't have to run the ad to prove it existed since the media could simply confirm the existence with the TV stations that the ad was already sent to.
3) Two major points of the ad were obviously wrong--the one about Romney not overseeing any death penalty cases (Mass. law doesn't allow the death penalty), and the one about $50 abortions (The health care bill had nothing to do with abortions--state law required all health car plans to include abortion at the same cost as other surgical proceedures)
4) If the ad was really pulled, how did it end up on TNT in Iowa during Law and Order re-runs a day later, with the station refusing to confirm or deny whether they ran the ad.
One theory is that the ad was hastily put together, someone pointed out the flaws after it had aready been sent out, and team Huckabee gets together and sees what they can do to make lemonade out of lemons--and that's where the press conference came from.
Either way it had a very "wierd" feel to it.
