Mike Huckabee & Chuck Norris

Mike Huckabee has a new television ad out that stars Chuck Norris. It is brilliant in its simplicity. There are a lot of Walker, Texas Ranger fans out there who might vote for Mike Huckabee because of Chuck Norris. But the real brilliance in the ad is that it has created a buzz about Mike Huckabee on the internet. It is similar to Fred Thompson's admonishment to Michael Moore while chomping on a Cuban cigar. Thompson's YouTube clip was one of the most played videos for a few days after its release. Huckabee's will be too. At this point in the campaign it is all about name recognition and getting media exposure. Huckabee will win that battle for the next few days with this ad.
