Many of these candidates are showing that they just don’t have what it takes to be fiscally responsible when there is pressure on them. Huckabee is only the most recent Republican to wilt in the spotlight:
Less than a month after a huge upset victory, and promises that fundraising would be ramped up, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is asking his senior staff to keep working for him without pay, while lower level campaign staff are seeing their salaries cut dramatically or eliminated altogether.
