NASHUA, N.H.—Republican Iowa caucuses winner Mike Huckabee says he's surprised that rival Mitt Romney is showing a streak of being thin-skinned after weeks in which Romney ran critical TV ads against him and Sen. John McCain of Arizona in the early nominating states.
Citing the Saturday night debate of the GOP contenders, Huckabee told CNN's "Late Edition" that "every time John McCain or Fred Thompson or even when I said something about (Romney's) record, he immediately bristled and said, 'Well, we don't need a personal attack.'"
In Iowa, Huckabee said Romney "spent millions of dollars specifically targeting me in television ads, radio ads, and filling up mailboxes with negative attack ads, misrepresenting my record on a number of things. And when asked, was it a negative attack, he said, oh no, it is not personal, it is just a policy difference.
This article is surprising. I was aware of the cruel intentions that the candidates had towards each other but I didn't really think they would act like such kids.
