Huckabee is much more conservative than McCain. He can beat Hillary, McCain might not be able to.
It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if McInsane asked Fred Thompson to be his VP. From the south, conservative, liked by most. But without the religious zealotry of the Huckster. He won’t pick the Huckster, who is merely a useful tool to McInsane. McInsane will probably appoint him to some more minor position, like House Chaplain.
As to Romney, he may as well get out now. Even if he were to win Texas, or some other large state coming up in the primaries, by the time they all got to the Convention, the Huckster would do the same thing that McInsane did with him in W. VA in the caucus, and throw his delegates’ support behind McInsane. So Romney wouldn’t stand a snowball’s chance in h*ll anyhow. Time for him to pull out, and live to fight another day.
Not really. Based on their records, McCain is a Social Moderate-Fiscal Moderate-National Defense Conservative while Huckabee is a Social Conservative-Fiscal Liberal-National Defense Liberal.
