Bloggers pounding on Huckabee
by WonkoKevin
Both conservative and liberal bloggers have been pounding away at Mike Huckabee now for two weeks. According to Wonkosphere data, the sentiment of Huckabee’s buzz is lower than any other competitive candidate over this two week period. What is Huck’s response? A Christmas commercial (prediction: it will work amongst older voters; the YouTube crowd has only given it two stars out of five in over 2200 reviews). In my humble opinion people are still underestimating Hope 2.0.
Conversely, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd both were talked of very positively by liberal bloggers this past week, and the tone of Hillary Clinton’s buzz over the last three days has come back to normal after two weeks of low values, so maybe she’s shored up things a bit with the Des Moines Register endorsement. Amongst conservative bloggers, Rudy Giuliani’s buzz was positive over the last 2 days, also following a 2 week plus period of negative attention.
