Both Paul and Huckabee are surging in the polls. In each case, this is a good thing. Huck has a good chance of taking down Romney. As Thompson falls in the polls, Paul will increasingly be the most viable limited government choice.
Huckabee scares me even more than Romney, I’m loosing more and more respect for so-called ‘evangelical’ ‘social conservative’ voters; they’d apparently destroy the economy and advance socialism just cuz someone was once a minister and is strong on social issues.
But as far as a political strategy, yea what you say may hold true, I don’t know. The race is completely up in the air at this point I think.
