Drudge reports that Democrat insiders have revealed that orders have come down from the highest levels to hold all fire on Mike Huckabee to enhance his chances of winning the Republican nomination and providing a easy kill in the general election.

Within the DNC, Huckabee is known as the "glass jaw -- and they're just waiting to break it."

In the last three weeks since Huckabee's surge kicked in, the DNC hasn't released a single press release criticizing his rising candidacy.

The last DNC press release critical of Huckabee appeared back on March 2nd.

[DNC Press Release Attack Summary:

Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) – 37% (99 press releases)
Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) – 28% (74)
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) – 24% (64)
Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN) – 8% (20)
Governor Mike Huckabee – 2% (4)]

It quite clear who they fear most...

Update: Here's why they think so.

Mitt Romney apparently did well telling a 98% non-Mormon country that he doesn’t want to be a Mormon president; instead, he’s a man who wants to be President who happens to be Mormon. Meanwhile candidate Mike Huckabee showed himself to be a Baptist preacher first and foremost. That has long been a suspicion of Huckabee held by that small number of people who actually pay attention to politics 24 and 7. Huckabee’s remarks demonstrated that there is some basis to that fear–just as real voters are starting to pay attention. Not wise.
