Some Huckabee Aides Forgoing Paychecks

[DS1]

ATLANTA (AP) - 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.

``Most people are staying on,'' but a few have departed, adviser Ed Rollins said in an interview. ``A number of people, including myself,'' have agreed to forgo their pay in order to spend as much as possible on television ads in vital states, Rollins said.

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.

2. I don't EVER remember Pubs having so much trouble raising money!

I've heard that their front runner McCain was still almost out of $$, Rudy's staff are working without paychecks, and now Huck? Shit, the only one who has any money is the uber wealty Mittens!

4. Why doesn't Chuck Norris donate more?

He can make another awful action-adventure movie to fill up his coffers again.

Or, one of the corporate media companies could do a Texas Ranger TV movie...and film it in Crawford, TX! How exciting!! :rofl:
