Jim, I have had a number of conversations with other REAL conservatives and we are ALL in agreement that this is a very viable scenario.
The trick is to make sure that neither McCain nor Romney get enough delegates and for that to happen Huckabee must stay in.
FRed was always either the first or second choice of just about everyone. I think that well over 90% of the GOP would be very happy with him being the nominee and, most importantly, he is a CONSERVATIVE.
This just might work.
Why would Huckabee desperatly grab delegates just to toss them away for a Thompson VP spot?
Makes no sense.
