Complicating Mr. Romney?s life even more, Mr. Huckabee?s campaign manager, Ed Rollins, suggested he was entering something of a temporary alliance of interest with Mr. McCain against Mr. Romney. Mr. Rollins said Mr. Huckabee would be using the next several days to present what he said would be an unfavorable comparison of their records as governor.

?We?re going to see if we can?t take Romney out,? Mr. Rollins said. ?We like John. Nobody likes Romney.?

Mr. McCain?s advisers said they did not view Mr. Huckabee as a particular threat here.

how would our resident conservatives feel about a McCain/Huckabee ticket?

I will boycott ANY ticket with McCain and/or Romney in it.

I want Huckabee or Thompson in there. In this case if any of the negatives were mixed in with the positives I would still boycott the ticket and vote independent or in spite of them vote for Obama.

If the Republican party does not hold closer to it the values of libertarianism, then the Republican party need not exist at all.

Wouldn't it reduce taxes on the poor since it would screw them the most and force them to barter for stuff instead?

Am I the only one who thinks this?

Also, the guys face is unnaturally tight.

Although that's really terrific criteria with which to choose or not choose our next president, I think there are more substantial issues upon which one could base their choice.
