“I don’t think Huckabee is all that viable as a VP candidate, because he doesn’t bring all that much to the ticket. “
Huckabee in either slot could single-handedly deliver a landslide election to the Democrats. He’s got way too many weaknesses, and there are more credible candidates. If you want a southern prolife governor, Haley Barbour would do much better. or ... Fred Thompson?
Romney may want a midwest person on the ticket. And if you want a prolifer, why not Brownback? or Colo gov Bill Owens? Lots better to choose from than Huck.
Huckabee should be the next to leave the race. He is at this time an impediment to conservative unity. While he has prolife support, true conservatives cannot abide his many deviations on economic, fiscal and foreign policy from sensible conservatism. Thus, Huck ends up splitting conservative votes and enabling McCain to win through a ‘divide and conquer’ strategy. So far McCains wins have been with less than 40% support - NOT A CONSENSUS.
The race is really a 2 man race now, McCain v Romney.
Romney is the far more acceptable candidate.
We need to support Mitt Romney for President, and Say NO to proamnesty-proCO2caps-CFR-nannystate-RINO John McCain.
Next to Fred, I would love John Cornyn on the ticket. Now that would be quite a pair. Dark handsome Romney and white-haired handsome Cornyn. A movie star ticket, for sure.
By the way, Cornyn is up for re-election this time and his opponent is named Noriega. Duh.
