Is Wicker the Trippi of '08?

A couple weeks ago,
I noticed that one thing missing from the political reporting this cycle was the emergence (and promotion) of a celebrity consultant.
According to the
Wall Street Journal, this year's "celebrity consultant" might just be Huckabee ad man,
Bob Wicker:
Every presidential election makes stars out of a few political consultants. In 2004, Joe Trippi won a reputation for harnessing the Internet to help his candidate, Democrat Howard Dean. In 2000, Karl Rove's reputation as a political master was sealed with the election of George W. Bush. Should Mr. Huckabee continue his climb, Mr. Wickers and his team would earn similar reviews.
