I welcome you to view the video linked in my post 172. Then rethink between which two campaigns the phone lines have been burning. Huckabee has not the cash to run a viable candidacy on Super Tuesday. But he can ensure that the conservatives don't coalesce around one candidate, even a faux conservative like Romney. Huck's placed his eggs in the McCain basket.
“But he can ensure that the conservatives don’t coalesce around one candidate, even a faux conservative like Romney. Huck’s placed his eggs in the McCain basket.”
The Huckster has been nice to McCain also, hoping to get a piece of the political pie (some position in McCain’s Admin). However, the Huckster has no personal relationship with McCain like Thompson does. Both are undoubtedly angling, but McCain is a grudge holder, always has been, and he sees Huckabee as being behind “dirty tricks” in SC, and also as the main impediment to his getting wins, unlike Fred who has never been a vote getting threat to McCain. McCain will not be inclined to largesse towards the Huckster, as he will be towards Thompson, his friend.
