Huckabee the spoiler

Tom Tancredo is still steamed at Mike Huckabee for torpedoing Mitt Romney. He figures Huck saved the day for McCain.

It was the Huckabee factor. [Former Arkansas] Governor [Mike] Huckabee decided to stay in even though he could not have won. He absolutely made a difference, and he knew it, and that difference was he was able to keep Mitt Romney out of the play by draining off conservative votes. And I think he did it to a large extent because Mitt is a Mormon. It was really to ruin Romney's chances. So that created the pathway for Senator McCain.

Nonetheless, Mitt and Mike made nice at an appearance Sunday for McCain.

i expect Huckabee will be in torpedo mode 'tween now and 4 November

with his platform on Fox News, all he has to do is some "straight talk"
from time to time, subtle jabs at other times, and an overwhelming
Obama victory will take down not only the "moderate" leader/wing
of the GOP, but also their new "fundie" star. a two-fer for Mike.

When Palin is forced to drop out because of her family's dueling wombs, ole Mike Huckabee can jump right in there and be McShrimp's running mate. Everyone knows Mikee won't get pregnant....no one will have sex with him, ya know. McShrimp/Huckabucks '08!

Tom "The Wall" Tancredo must be trying to make a minor comeback. He dropped out right before Iowa, didn't he?

I do think that either Huck or Mormon Mitt might be waiting in the wings if Palin gets Eagletoned/86'd/Aborted.

"And I think he did it to a large extent because Mitt is a Mormon."

Don't just love religious wars. But Huck is a money grubber and in the
end, Romney wins with more toys and mo money.
