Huckabee told a packed news conference he had decided at the last minute not to run a scathing TV commercial countering rival Mitt Romney's attacks on his record.
Then Huckabee proceeded to show reporters the commercial, which ensured that TV cable and network news channels would broadcast parts of it for free. |

A Baptist preacher, Huckabee told reporters he had changed his mind about the ad because he wanted to run a positive campaign. But critics said that by showing the ad to the media, he had nonetheless made sure his attacks on Romney would be seen and heard.
Analysts saw political calculation in the act. |

| Already facing criticism for his lack of foreign policy experience, Huckabee drew flak last week following the assassination of Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto when he suggested more Pakistanis were entering the United States illegally than other nationalities outside of Latin America. In fact the numbers are relatively small. |
