Romney could get McCain elected. Huckabee will get McCain defeated.

McCain and Obama both follow the advice of their "advisers", and if McCain's lackluster campaign is any indication, his staff will tell him to select Huckabee.

That would be the BEST thing that could happen... for Obama.

I hope John McCain picks Romney and Obama choses Biden.

Romney vs Biden in a debate. No competition. Biden would blow him out the water.

Romney is what McCain needs!!!

McCain/Romney 08!!!

Are you kidding? Romney would smoke Biden. Romney has shown he is an excellent debater.

I believe Romney has been the pick for some time now and Biden most likely is the dems pick.

First off Peter, Huck only has a part of the base.

Second, Huck leaves people are smart enough not to waste their vote especially when the Huck support is based on the right to life. The cause is greater than the candidate.

Third, it will never happen. Hucks personal asperations is to be President. His ego is much too large to give that up.

Certainly there are as many "opinions" as there are people BUT as Romney said "facts are stubborn things" and the FACTS are that Huckabee tops both the survey usa election polls realeased early June AND the most recent Rasmussen polls taken 7/25-27-08 as being the guy who HELPS McCain MOST on the ticket. Whether he is your guy or not, and though he is obviously NOT the favorite among Washington elitists (those guys we all said we are sick of) Huckabee is the hands down favorite with the majority of the American people! His decade of experience on the domestic front, great record in Arkansas, candor and honesty combined with wit and humor and his passion for the convictions he holds have earned him the trust and repect befitting the 2nd in command. I'm not saying McCain will pick him, I'm just saying, don't lie to yourselves and us by saying Romney will HELP McCain when Rasmussen says he hurts the ticket by 6 pts. He also tanked in a poll tanken in his homestate of MA...Whether you admit it or not, what Huckabee stated is honest (the only way he knows to be) a huge block of people have a problem with Romney's inconsistencies and his ugly primary campaign tactics (not even getting into his record in MA). If you want a dishonest candidate who will say whatever he thinks you want to hear, then you can find plenty of them. If you want a politician who is going to give you an HONEST answer, that is Mike Huckabee

McCain has 26 years of experience but but has shown very very poor judgment on issues like

1. The Iraq War

2. Supporting Bush`s failed economic policies.

3. Flip flopping on off shore drilling

4. McCain does not even have policies all he does is criticize Obama.

5. He is friends with right wing hate mongers like Rev Parsely and Hagee.

7. He is friends with lobbyists and Neo-Cons.

If people thought Bush could be a better president than McCain in 2000 then America is doomed when McCain is elected.

Here are the FACTS Linda...

As for Huckabee, tell me what he brings to the ticket outside of the south which McCain should/ must carry anyway? Take away the southern states and tell me what on earth Huckabee brings to the ticket ? You remember the primaries ???

West: Romney 42 %
Huckabee 14 %

Northeast: Romney 38 %
Huckabee 9 %

Midwest Romney 36 %
Huckabee 24 %

Here are the FACTS you want to look at...

If that were true he'd have won the nomination!

The conservatives on this blog stating Huckabee has no base are obviously blind. With this group, Bob Barr, and the Ron Paul supporters... GOP in big trouble.

Huckabee is a fine man, but not being seriously considered for any VP spot...a little jealous of Romney who, I believe has 39% of Republicans wanting him as VP. I'm fine with Romney, who has the fiscal background that would help this country. Huckabee is also the biggest Religious Right guy that ran, and he probably has a problem with LDS/Romney.
McCAIN/ROMNEY, McCAIN/LIBERMAN, McCAIN/ANYBODY!!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE WH!

As a Christian southerner, I can honestly say that McCain picking Huckabee would be a deal-breaker for me. Huckabee is absolutely the worst kind of politician. As Romney said, this is a time for the GOP to be coming together to defeat Obama, and yet Huckabee still wants to go on TV and bash Romney. What is with this guy????

Yes Yes Yes Debra. I'm hoping for a McCain/Liberman ticket too.

Romney is very right, but he has to understand that Cheney-Rumsfeld were the architects of the Irak war which was supported by Hillary and McBush, all four have lot of experience, but judgment is still laking. Romney will not bring anything that his millions to McSame to try again to buy the US presidency.

Also as a southern Christian, I am offended by the petty bickering of Huckabee. He does not represent my beliefs. I have more in common with Romney than Huckabee. Be uniters not dividers. Go McCain/Romney

Enough with the Huckabee nonsense. He is a has been blip on the screen. Look to the future. McCain/Romney

Dan,

I too am a Christian southerner and I second your comments. I won't vote for a McCain/Huckabee ticket. I am also tired of reading posts from Huck's army that state "Christians" won't vote for a ticket with Romney on it. Well, they need to stop speaking for all Christians because this one would happily vote for a ticket with Romney on it.

I liked Huckabee at first but quickly grew tired of his court jester routine and wouldn't want him anywhere near the Oval Office. Romney has exuded nothing but grace and class in defeat. Unlike Huck, he is working to unite the party and get McCain elected while the Huckster and his legion of bigots have resorted to threatening the GOP and sowing division.

Romney would smoke any Dem. in the debates! Its not even close!!
