I don’t view Romney as much of a threat to Palin. The one I worry about is the Huckster. Because of the way the Republistupids do their primaries, the Huckster could win some early important rounds making things tougher for Sarah.

Romney has to spend so much money per vote that he’s not going to be much of a factor.

How much did he spend last time? How many votes did he get?

I agree with you about Huckabee -- he's worth worrying about. But Romney indirectly and powerfully benefits Huck because he is one more expensive campaigning war that real conservatives have to wage, and they're already up a hostile media and the Democrats.

Huckabee isn't independently wealthy, and he's a dweeb no matter how hard he tries. If it was just him, he'd sink pronto. Romney is wealthy, handsome, and slick. The guy's like a vampire. And he sucks the resources of conservative candidates.

I am voting for Sarah.

Romney and Hucka-Bucka-Beanstalk are out for me. I will not vote for either of them. Romney is a good business manager, but he has no principles. Huckster is a proven socialist on spending, and he’s a religious bigot.

Amount spent means nothing, as Romney has a large pool of funds...Romney got 4.5 million votes, Huckabee got 4.1 million votes, McCain 9.8 million votes...

The key is the primaries...in a "3-way race" with Romney, Huckabee and Palin, the more conservative vote could easily split between Huckabee and Palin, giving Romney an edge in the early delegate counts ...magritte
