Huckabee is running. Romney is not. Huckabee is far, far preferable to McCain: He is malleable by the likes of Duncan Hunter who can fill in the gaps in defense/national security, and supports protection of the big-picture values and presuppositions about human dignity and justice that enabled us to have a United States of America to begin with.
Perfect? Not even close. But the best we've got.
Whether or not he can mathematically beat John McCain is irrelevant with regard to doing the right thing. Technically he could and it would be easier with Romney out of the race. Regardless of the ultimate end result, I've done my duty.
One of the most important things to me is the WOT, and I’m not sold on Huck for that yet. I’m also not sold on him re spending (not) on entitlements, including new ones. He also wanted to grant in-state tuition to illegals, which doesn’t make me very happy. I’ll have to look at his platform a little more. It will be interesting to see a debate between he and McCain and if they still play nicey-nice now that they don’t have Mitt to bash.
As far as I know, Romney is still running, just not actively campaigning. Has that changed?
