With popularity comes vetting, how true… but this seems a little outlandish.  On the heals of good poll news and a surge in buzz, Mike Huckabee is facing a firing line of negative attention from conservative bloggers.  History shows this is not necessarily bad–it toughens the candidate and if they are effective in response they dull the potential impact of later negative buzz.  Huckabee’s 34% in Wonkosphere buzz share amongst conservative bloggers was far ahead of Romney (20%), Paul (18%), and Giuliani (18%).  Check out some of the current buzz on Huckabee:
