“Romney and Rooty are sure losers in the general election. 2nd Amendment voters wont vote for them.”
That leaves McCain and Huckabee.
What do people think of a McCain/Huckabee ticket? Is it a winner?

If McCain does win the nomination, he needs to pick someone that conservatives trust as his running mate, someone who is credible as President in his own right (McCain's age is a factor with some voters, even if his mother is thriving at 95), probably someone not associated with Washington...so most likely a governor. Just not Huckabee, who is not conservative on a lot of key issues, and who will turn off a lot of independent voters who don't want a cornpone Elmer Gantry a heartbeat away.
I don't know who the strongest choice would be...Pawlenty has been mentioned in the past, but maybe there is someone better (I don't know much about Pawlenty).

A double-barrelled pro-amnesty RINO ticket. A surefire ticket to disaster.
The only good thing I can say about it is that it most definitely will NOT happen. Huckabee has been effectively enough dispatched in South Carolina that he wont pick up the delegates to forces such a God-awful match.

What do people think of a McCain/Huckabee ticket?Or McCain/Romney?
"Romney also praised McCain for his general reform campaign when the Arizona senator came to Massachusetts to stump with Romney just before Romney's 2002 election victory in the governor's race. 'He has always stood for reform and change. And he's always fought the good battle, no matter what the odds,' Romney said at the time. 'Those are my values.'" (Eric Moskowitz, "Romney, McCain Spar On Campaign Finance," Concord Monitor, 4/27/07)

What do people think of a McCain/Huckabee ticket? Is it a winner?I wouldn't want to vote for it. Too "maverick" for my taste.

What do people think of a McCain/Huckabee ticket? Is it a winner?As big a winner as Dole! Only saving grace...lowest turn out election in the history of elections because of Clinton/ Obama ticket on the other side, so very very slim chance to pull it off.

That leaves McCain and Huckabee.
Isn't McCain also weak on the 2nd Amendment, too? I refer to
