What? No love, Guv?
Looks like Mike Huckabee has been reading STACLU. Either that, or the point I made about a Romney Veep nod giving the Obama a “gotcha back” ad opportunity was really obvious.
WND: Huck to Rush: Why Romney pick stinks
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says if John McCain selects former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney as his running mate, it eliminates what he calls “the Joe Biden issue” for Republicans.
“During the primary, Romney attacked McCain. He attacked me,” the one-time presidential hopeful said today on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show. “One of the problems McCain would have if he picked Romney was that it takes the Joe Biden issue off the table where Biden is saying great things about McCain and terrible things about Obama. They’ll be running those tapes back over and over during the debates when Romney was attacking McCain and saying, ‘Which time do we trust you? Then or now?’”
Again, for the record, I think Romney is the best pick. Huckabee, who spent the dwindling days of his campaign trying to play Tyke to McCain’s Spike, never had a chance for the two-slot despite his best unspoken, but clearly demonstrated, efforts. Glad for that, too. Huckabee would be a poor pick, so it’s heartening to know that, in Huck’s own words, that he wasn’t even on the “long list.”
