It doesn’t.
I’ll vote for Romney over Huckabee.
Not that I’d be all that excited about Romney, but even next to McCain, I’d go with Romney.
Huckabee = creepy, self-interested sleaze.
It’s true, Romney doesn’t have any reasonable excuse for the healthcare mess on Massachusetts. However, we are talking Massachusetts, and when Romney went with the healthcare bill in MA it was one thing. Once the corrupt Mass legislature got ahold of it, it most likely morphed into quite another.
As far as the primary — New Hampshire has a big problem when it comes to voting. It has same day registration, and an open primary. The same day registration makes it vulnerable to voter fraud, and it would be foolish to think it hasn’t happened in NH already. The crossover voting is another thing that distorts voting results.
Time to get rid of both.
