You’re exactly right, I’m afraid.
Huckabee is the template of compassionate conservatism: he’s socially conservative, all right. But he sent the tax burden in Arkansas soring and sure pitched a fit when the feds raided Arkansas businesses that hired illegals.
His willingness to raise taxes should completely blackball him from consideration, but there are an awful lot of social conservatives all too ready to jump ship.
I supported Romney until I found out that he supprts AWB-2 , which is totally unacceptable to a large contingent of the party primary voters . If Romney had done his homework and came down right on gun rights , he wouldn’t be struggling like he is . This nomination would have been his months ago .
