Mitt Romney is the REAL liberal. When he was running for Governor of my state he pandered to homosexual groups and stated he was pro-choice. Mitt Romney is not to be trusted conservatism is Mitts flavor of the month being used to get him where he wants to go politically..MITT CAN'T BE TRUSTED!!!

Yeah..Mitt would make a lot better president than Huckabee. But, Ron Paul would be a superior president to Mitt Romney!!

I don't support Huckabee, but he's right in this case, and its a smart strategy to start separating yourself from Bush. If Romney thinks that defending Bush can win him the presidency, he is delusional. Unpopular parties don't get elected in the first place: I can't find a single example in the 20th century.

I think a lot of the evangelical bigots will get their "reward" when they elect an individual who has so many unanswered ehtical, immigration and taxation skeltons in his closet. They choose to "overlook" a candidate like Romney merely because of religious bigotry, when Romney's track record far exceeds Huckabee's in terms of personal and professional accomplishments. Huckabee's a true weasle (looks like one to with those big eyes)that is only ahead because the slim has choosen to play the religion card. Talk about someone who will do anything to win. What a panderer.

Romney would continue the Bush legacy of draining the American taxpayers, keeping a war going to keep the money flowing overseas. This shows the complete ignorance of the Republican party, they keep giving us idiots to choose from, and that used to be the perception of the Democratic party. Republicans are cowards and idiots when it comes to war, sad but true, the only exception was almost the first True Republican, Abraham Lincoln. We need to get out of thinking we are the savior of the world, the last empire that thought that, were the Romans.

Oh Come on Monk.
Mitts Record in Massachusetts ain't so great, the people in Ma. are not to fond of Mitt. And as for his religion don't you think its kinda scary to vote for someone who's faith is a quest to become a god himself, in the Christian religion we would call that heresy..

Romney is getting desperate ... Folks are finally looking at Governor Huckabee and finding the real deal! A man who can articulate populist conservative values ... with over a decade of executive experience running a state government ... something Romney just can't match ... so he just attacks.

I like Huckabee and he is conservative...at least as conservative as Romney (REAL high standard to beat...Not) Mostly he can communicate and looks to me like he can work with people of all "types". I'm personally ready to get SOMETHING done. If all he accomplished was to wind down the war and eliminate the IRS I would be happy as pie.

But Huckabee hasn't played the religion card. He doesn't attack Romney's personal faith, and it's completely hypocritical to ask Huckabee to refrain from talking about his experience as a preacher if Romney et al can talk about their experiences as lawyers, businessmen, doctors, etc. Huckabee's stance on illegal immigrants is readily apparent to anyone who's seen the YouTube debate. He expressed his ideas and experience on the issue very clearly. Anyone who argues otherwise is just a shameless propagandist for some other candidate.

Just to clarify- I'm not a Huckabee supporter. I'm really more of a proto-Stalinist, if anything else. I'd vote for Huey P. Long before I voted for Huckabee. I'm just here to set the record straight.

Romney is right on target. Huckabee was jumping on the same bandwagon as the Democrats with this "bunker mentality" criticism. What is now coming back to haunt the huckster (and his Democrat friends) is that he was WRONG! Bush made mistakes, but sticking with this fight (i.e. staying in the "bunker" when all the doubters and Democrats and Huck was criticizing him), surging and leaving the Iraqi people with the liberty Huck's God gave them was the right call and now that it is working, Huck is running the other way. This is classic behavior of liberal populists like the huckster. Huckabee is an un-educated fool. By the way, he has claimed all year that he has a theology degree, but now that he is running from the religious bigotry he riled up to gain ground in the polls, he reveals that he actually dropped out of theology school without a degree. I think it must be something in the water in Hope.

Romney is attacking Huckabee because Huckabee had the gall to attack President Bush? If Romney believes that Bush's foriegn policy should praised.... then Romney is wrong wrong wrong.

Romney should try to be as authentic as Huckabee...

Take away all this talk of religion, compare each candidate's resume, and if executive experience means something, no one really comes close to Romney. I don't think anyone can fix all the country's problems, but I think Romney will do a lot of good. Talk is easy, but from what I can tell Romney has actually gone into some pretty bad situations and left them a lot better after a year or two.

I think America needs to wake up. It is not the president that makes policy. It is your congress!

Romney is scared to death and well he should be. He has spent 50 million and has nothing to show for it. He is a second tier candidate but for his deep pockets.

Romney isn't perfect...but he is far and away the most qualified candidate for POTUS

Romney isn't perfect, and he's not even close to being the most qualified.

How many more flip flops is Romney going to do before this is a over? Romney is not an authentic CONSERVATIVE.

Romney has been on the side of pro-gay marriage, gay rights, pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-socialized healthcare and appointed democrat activist judges. No wonder Maine does not distinguish marriage as between one man and on woman. I'm confused. Who is the democrat?

"I'm afraid he's running from the wrong party.”
Well Mitt, you may be right. Maybe the conservative "party" has walked away from true conservatives like Mike Huckabee. You however just keep squealing like a stuck pig, due to all the money you have spent on your campaign.

Gov. Romney supports illegal immigration. Cheap labor comes in handy for his sanctuary mansion.

If Mitt wants to critize the fair tax he should at least understand it. He cant even explain what he is against.
