All Huckster accomplished was to dilute the conservative vote so that neither Fred Thompson nor Romney could win, and to enrage loyal Mormon Republican voters in the process.
Mission Accomplished.
Oh, yeah, and I suppose he "diluted the conservative vote" to stop Duncan Hunter too? The fact is that none of the other candidates favored on this forum were particularly attractive to VOTERS, particularly social conservatives, and that's why Huckabee has done as well as he did.
