Does Mike Huckabee really hate Mitt Romney so much he'd run for president just for the chance to throw haymakers at his old rival?
As a new poll shows the two Republicans running neck and neck against President Obama in the 2012 presidential race, the rivalry between Romney and Huckabee that began during the 2008 campaign resurfaced Monday when Politico published a story titled "Huckabee throws a Mitt fit."
Click to enlarge Associated Press Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee From the archive News analysis: Analysis: Why Jon Huntsman Jr. may be running for president – Jan. 31, 2011 Huckabee: Israel can build in West Bank, Jerusalem – Jan. 31, 2011 Romney may announce presidential bid in April – Jan. 13, 2011 Huckabee says ousting of Iowa judges historic move – Nov. 21, 2010 Huckabee likens gay marriage to incest, polygamy – April 13, 2010 Huckabee didn't actually do anything new. In fact, the feud between the two men has been dormant for some time. But the story says Republican insiders who know both men suggest that Huckabee's dislike of Romney could motivate Huckabee to finally make the decision to run in 2012. The piece points out that the candidates weren't pals before the 2008 Iowa caucuses, where things got really bad as Huckabee emerged as the surprise candidate.
"[Huckabee] hates Mitt, and his goal in Iowa last time was to stop him," said one prominent Republican, who's known both men for years. "If he sees an opportunity to cut Mitt off [during the nominating process], he will take it."
Huckabee dismissed the idea out of hand during a conference call with journalists.
"I found that laughable," RealClearPolitics reported Huckabee saying.

The one on the left is a loser. So is the one on the right.
This is sort of like when the mooselimbs feud with the faggots.
It’s really hard to take sides.
WIth luck, BOTH will lose.
RINO. It's what's for dinner.
OK so the liberal left has told us why they think Gov Mike Huckabee is running
Now why is RINO Romney STILL running since his 2008 slapdown ???
Because he hates Mike Huckabee ???
Does RINO Romney like anyone ???
Outside of himself ???
They are both losers. Gomer Huckabee has got the blood of FOUR Washington State police officers on his hands. Watch for Gomer’s equivalent of the “Willy Horton moment” to happen as soon as he connives a nomination win. Only it will be called Huckabee’s “Maurice Clemmon’s moment”!
No way. The one on the RIGHT is the loser. The one on the LEFT is a loser too...
