I had seen the Mike Huckabee-Chuck Norris floating around the web this weekend, but only had a chance to watch it now. Hilariously funny.

Has there ever been a campaign ad spurred on by Internet jokes?

Having said that… If you’re Huckabee, and you’re just now getting a lot of attention, and there’s some talk you’re going to win Iowa, does it run the risk of excessive silliness to have you looking at the camera and declaring, “there’s no chin behind Chuck Norris’ beard, only another fist,” in your first television ad?

The ad feels like a Saturday Night Live parody. In fact, it’s impossible to parody, since it’s so off-the-wall. It will get attention. But will people look at him and say, “I could see that guy as President”?
