| Description | Mike Huckabee has been quite serious about taking advantage of the endorsement he's received from actor and martial artist Chuck Norris, appearing on the trail with him even while joking about the Internet-based myths concerning Norris' strength and the power of his roundhouse kicks. But he's not the only one – his top Iowa rival, Mitt Romney, is out with a new Web ad that's light-hearted, but also takes some shots at the former Arkansas governor.
The ad opens like many of Romney's recent TV ads, with a narrator introducing "two good men." But instead of Huckabee and Romney, it's Huckabee and Norris whose views are compared. The over-the-top narration tells viewers that Norris would "give a presidential pardon to no one, ever" and can "subdue criminals with just an icy stare" before noting that Huckabee granted 1,033 pardons and commutations, 12 of which were to convicted murderers. |
