Guess who else isn't paying his campaign workers

No, it's not 9iu11iani. That's so last week. Everyone knows that Willard "Mitt" Romney lights cigars with $100 bills, so it's not him. Fred finally gave up and dropped out - not that anyone would notice. And McCain has become the "comeback kid" - he's not even carrying his own luggage anymore.
Nope, this time it's the Huckster's turn to grovel for help and for volunteers.In a sign of the financial difficulties facing Republican Mike Huckabee, his presidential campaign said Tuesday that top advisers are working without pay and some aides have left.
Campaign contributions continue to come in, he said. But he acknowledged that the former Arkansas governor is stretched thin as he tries to compete in Florida's primary next Tuesday and many of the two dozen states holding contests Feb. 5.
Huckabee told reporters late Monday he would evaluate the situation in Florida daily and decide whether to keep campaigning in the state. His campaign has stopped arranging charter flights, hotel reservations and other means of helping journalists keep up with his movements. News organizations pay their own expenses, but empty seats on charter planes were costing the campaign money.
Rollins said the campaign plans to run some ads on cable stations in Florida, but it cannot afford broadcast rates. Huckabee is splitting time between Florida, Georgia and Arkansas this week. Meantime, the Democrats are rolling in it. Remember when it was the Republicans who had more money than they could spend, and the Dems still at least came close in the elections (they just didn't have enough to afford the legal fights to get the votes counted accurately). Let's see how well the GOP does now that the tables are turned.
Poor Poor Huckabee
