“Good grief. Romney is the most conservative candidate out there. For the life I failt to udnerstand support for Huckabee but to each his own.”
I could help explain part of it: (a) gun rights; and (b) right to life. Huck has been consistent on both issues.
Yes, I know all about Huck’s faults. Don’t blame me-—I wanted Hunter. If the race is close in March, I am leaning towards a Mitt vote to stop the McAmnesty train.

I hate to admit this, but I believe the kernel of dedicated support for Huck is made to a large extent of those religiously bigoted people who loath Mormonism. I’ve tried to largely ignore this faction of “our side” and I do believe their total numbers are small, but just monitoring feedback on this site, Townhall, and a few others, leads me to believe that they do exist.
Those people, will never vote for Mitt Rommey. That is something we’ll have to deal with. There are also people that will not vote for Obama, or Hillary because of bigotry. We’ll just have to see how this plays out.
Gun rights are extremely important to me too, but I wouldn't flush every other right AND the entire economy down the toilet to maintain the Second Amendment.
Understand. It depends which issues are most important to you. I don't own a gun. Guns and abortion are important but just down my list so to speak. My top issues are WoT, immigration and taxes. As you say they are all flawed and its a lesser of evils as each person sees it.
