Why Mitt Romney Needs Mike Huckabee
Real Clear Politics ^ | July 12, 2012 | Maggie Gallagher

Posted on 07/12/2012 6:13:02 AM PDT by C19fan

The "veepstakes" speculation is in full swing:

Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey is signaling that if called, he will serve.

.........................................................

But if you ask me, the best choice for Romney's vice president is former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

Oh, of all the crazy ideas, this one takes the cake (sizeist pun intended).

Flip-Flop Romney and Nanny Huckabee on the ticket — that would be my nightmare come to life. I was slowly coming around to voting for Romney but if Huckabee shows up on the ticket, I’d go home, lock the door and draw the shades until after the election.

Also, I agree that Gallagher has been off her meds in her recent columns.

The only worse candidates for VP I can quickly come up with are all democrats. Huckabee is a painful RINO.

Huckabee? How inspiring! Although I am sure he is a good man we do need someone that is a little more alive. When Huckabee talks and you list one could respond, “I agree with that.” We need some one who when they talk your response is, “YEAH!” Think Rubio, Kasich, Palin, Christie. The old fuddy-duddy thing just does not inspire voters

You don’t think there is any chance he will pick an across the board conservative like Jindal or Perry, do you? It is likely going to come down to Portman, Christie, Pawlenty, Rubio, and McDonnell. Huck won’t get it because they hate each other and Romney likely won’t need help in Arkansas.

Right. Antagonize Limbaugh. Wonderful strategy.

In fact what this woman is trying to do with this silly column is to throw her bud a bone of publicity to try to help the poor schlub out.

Why would Huckabee ever take the gig? His radio show is SOOOOOOO successful /sarc

Yes, and Limbaugh would certainly breathe a sigh of relief if it were the Huckster. double /sarc

She can make some serious money - Huckabee’s odds are 50/1. Wonder how much is she going to wager?

If it’s Huckster, that’s the end of the GOP.
