Hate to post this, even as a Huck supporter, but I think both Huck and Romney are needed to deny McCain the win and bring this to a contested convention. Huck may be able to do it alone . . . but easier if they double team McCain.

Serious question:

What exactly are the policy differences between Huckabee and McCain? I can't see anything substantive.

...Both have been weak on illegal immigration.

...Both are weak on tax cuts.

...Both are pro-life (or say they are).

...Both seem to favor big government and the regulatory impositions that come with it.

...Both have willingly indulged in class warfare.

...Neither seem to favor drilling ANWR or realistically moving toward energy independence.

...Well, so far as I know, Huck hasn't been duped by the global-warming hoax. That's a point in his favor.

...Both are presumably committed to fight the war in Iraq to a successful conclusion. Given his military background, McCain might be better on this issue...but I have my doubts.

...I haven't heard either of them, though, address what happens after Iraq. I'd like to hear some assurances that the War on Terror isn't over once Iraq is secure.

Huck is more able to take a credible anti-amnesty position on immigration. He’s also more likely than McCain to nominate conservatives to the courts. He’s also able to oppose McCain-Fiengold; McCain-Kennedy, etc. Hucks the more conservative candidate.
