Anyone who is smelling the coffee knows its between Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney. And Sarah has been 100% on the money with everything she has said. Mitt comes off as a smooth talker which brings out too many negative associations.
Huckabee is one of them, and he’s a visible figure on the cble news station many of these values voters watch. These values voters, many of them moderate “choice” voting Baptists, Catholics and Evangelicals, see Romney as a member of a religious cult, and their perception of Sarah Palin is largely shaped by the media. They see her as a drag on the Republican party.
