As I've said all along...his wishy-washy stance on social issues (3 stances on forcing businesses to hire alternative sexual minorities in 13 years; 3 stances on embryonic stem cell research in 5.5 years; multiple, multiple stances on abortion in 13 years)...
...his "C" economic rating for his guv years from The Cato Institute...
... the fact that Massachusetts turns out POTUS candidate loser after POTUS candidate loser because it's a liberal candidate factory--Teddy Kennedy, Michael Dukakis, John Kerry, Mitt Romney
...all along with the fact that he represents a country club corporate tennis racket that less than 30 years ago had a sign on its door, "No blacks or Native Americans allowed."...which would have been a disastrous non-viable, unelectable GOP candidate being pushed forth in the "aura" of Obama (who pulled in $32 million for January alone)...
(I actually think that not only has the GOP been saved a merciless MSM shaming, but the LDS Church would have been on its heels by the time the MSM & Dems would have gotten done in November painting it "racist red"...God actually showed media mercy)
It is also notable that Huckabee won his home state by a much larger margin than did Romney in his. A referendum on the better governor by those that were governed.
