In the Ben Smith piece Mike cited earlier , Huckabee has some choice words for Pat Toomey: Huckabee met in the spring with Pat Toomey, then the president of the Wall Street-backed Club for Growth, which had attacked him during the 2008 campaign for raising taxes in Arkansas. It wasn t very productive, he said of the meeting. I realized then that these guys are just what I thought they were they re pay for play, and they do it anonymously on behalf of people who don t want to be known as the funders of these hit operations. I find that repulsive. That ...

Huckabee has already drawn unflattering parallels between the two , and having the pair of incredibly similar candidates juxtaposed on FOX could easily diminish the fascination with either enough to nix both from success in national politics. A few on FOX may rejoice at finally securing Palin as a network contributor. However, FOX shouldn't count on Paling for the long haul.
