Romney spent 60 or 70 or more million dollars (anyone know the final figures?). I bet he outspent the Republican field combined. Huckabee did all this by being an attractive candidate. You are making a mistake if you underestimate him.

I thought Mitt left off a 30 million of his own money. At most 40 million of his own money. I don’t care how much anyone spends and am not impressed or unimpressed by it. What I am more concerned about is their message and vision. Mike is a disaster. More will come out about him ... in time and that will kill any rerun. Mike is a petty, vindictive fraud.

Good point........ Just shows you can’t win with or without money if you don’t have the appeal and correct message to the voters..........

Romney spent 60 or 70 or more million dollars (anyone know the final figures?). Mitt Romney did not spend $60 OR $70 million more. According to the FEC report through 1/31, Mitt Romney spent $98 million (of course, by Super Tuesday, he'd probably blown through the eight million he had on hand to buy advertising, so total spending was around $106 million. According to Huck's FEC Report Huckabee through 1/31 had spent $12 million, and probably with Super Tuesday and the other primaries he competed in, he spent probably another $3-4 million. So all told, Mitt Romney outspent Huckabee by about $90 million, had the endorsement of major media, and Establishment conservatives and only won 1 contested primary.

Most of it was his own money. So who cares?

Huckabee did all this by being an attractive candidate. You are making a mistake if you underestimate him.

Huckabee received FREE liberal media coverage. He was used to isolate the evangelicals from the real conservatives and split the party. If Huckabee hadn't ran for President, he would likely have been chosen for VP. Now his political career is toast.

“((((((Huckabee did all this.....))))) by being an attractive candidate.”

Did all of what???? Huckabeee is a loser, a shill, a liar and twofaced bigot. That freak will never get my vote...NEVER.

I am pleased that he stayed in so long though, as in doing so, he allowed much more of America see the fool that he really is.

When he first started in the race, I was actually thinking that he was a good man and I actually thought that such a person could be good for America. I doubt that I have ever been so wrong about a person in my entire life. He’s nothing but a circus clown without the makeup.

Someday, folks will see the damage this disgusting little mouse has done to Christians as a whole.
