perhaps you are correct but I am judging Huckabee by the content of his actions. 2008 was a vote splitter primary and it seems apparent some candidates were paid to stay in the race to keep others out (ie mccain’s bud Thompson)
None of that is apparent at all, that is your own conspiracy theory about bribes and better qualified candidates, and better candidates, not getting out of the way of the totally incompetent, compulsive liar, Mitt Romney, the man who ruined the 2008 election for Republicans.
Romney should never have been in Republican politics, and he does not belong in a Presidential race at all, he seems to be the king of backroom deals and sleazy politics.
Romney has even been a fund raiser and financial backer of liberal Democrats in their races against Republicans, in various states, a fact that never seems to get mentioned.
