Huck and Dick Morris

The Politico has written on the relationship between Huck and Dick Morris. Dick was a consultant to Huck in the mid-1990s, but apparently he is "unofficially" advising Huck throughout the current campaign, even though he has not disclosed, and has even publicly minimized this relationship.

What does this mean? It says something about both men involved in the story:

Huck: It indicates that Huck politically approaches things like Bill Clinton. Part of that approach is governing to the left of how you run for election--and we should be very wary of that.

Dick: He is shameless. He has been pumping up Huckabee in his columns, but not revealing his current relationship with Huck.

A telling quote from the Politico article:
“Mystery is an integral part of power,” Morris has said. And in his memoir of his relationship with Clinton, he said Clinton once told him, “I like subterfuge. That’s why I like you.”
I continually bring up the question: Do Republicans want to nominate someone with the same problems that led to the dramatic losses in 2006? If yes, then Huck is your man.
