In light of increased recent negative attacks by other campaigns and the media, Governor Huckabee offered this positive statement yesterday:

Rival campaigns are leveling attack after attack against us. Some of these attacks are coming from campaigns directly and others are made indirectly through their allies in the media. Let me be clear about our response: we aren't going negative. I've learned that people attack usually for one of two reasons: either out of fear or a survival instinct. Neither of which I believe are qualities of a strong leader. My focus is the same as it always has been, discussing issues with voters and listening to their concerns.
