Surging at Huck   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

From Team Romney:

Tonight, Huckabee Accused Gov. Romney Of Not Supporting The Troop:

 

Huckabee Said He Supported The Surge Before Romney. "I supported the president in the war before you did. I supported the surge when you didn't." (ABC/WMUR, [Unverified Transcript], Republican Presidential Candidate Debate, Manchester, NH, 1/5/08)

 

One Year Ago, Gov. Huckabee Did Not Offer His Support For The Surge:

 

Gov. Huckabee, January 2007: "Well, I'm Not Sure That I Support The Troop Surge." MSNBC's NORAH O'DONNELL: "We have a Rudy Giuliani, who supports the president's plan on Iraq. We have Governor Mitt Romney, who also supports a troop surge. How are you different from any of those candidates." HUCKABEE: "Well, I'm not sure that I support the troop surge, if that surge has to come from our Guard and Reserve troops, which have really been overly stretched." (MSNBC's "Live," 1/24/07)
