The Pile-On Of Nikki Haley Begins ....

Mac Looks Like He's Telling Haley, 'It Ain't Fun Being On Top'

Wow, what one poll and an endorsement from Sarah Palin can do to a race! A few weeks ago, Nikki Haley seemed to be an afterthought - a fourth wheel on a tricycle, you might say... Though she had good conservative chops, the traction just wasn't there, and time was running out. But sometimes, when the other three aren't going anywhere as well, all those undecideds start coming to you - and Haley neutral dropped that puppy right into 4th gear and took off. Now, after Rasmussen polled her with an 11 point edge, the gloves are going to come off...

When you're sitting in last, and you're a woman, your rivals usually will be kind, and not try to cut you off at the kneecaps. But when you shoot out to the lead, it's all over - and Andre Bauer, Gresham Barrett and Henry McMaster got right to it last night. Attacking her failure to attend the final vote on transparency - her lynchpin issue - the other three tried to stem Haley's well-timed momentum push. Yeah, they've known about this for months, but who give's a poop about that when she's stuck in the mud? Now that she's in front, chants of 'No-Show Nikki' will undoubtedly pop up everywhere. Feel free to use the moniker, but I do have it copyrighted already, so it's gonna cost you 12 cents a pop....

Nikki, the good news is that you're in front and chugging along at just about the right time - and your opponents haven't had any juice since Day One. The bad news is that you're in front, and for the next 2 1/2 weeks, you will have a never ending barrage of attacks to stem the tide. it may work, it probably won't. No likes to see a woman get piled on by a bunch of guys. It almost remind us of this in a twisted sort of way.....It's right at 1:00 in the clip. It's good to be the King - but not the Queen sometimes...
