And there you have it... no significant difference between the two.
Not true. With Huckabee you get the added endearing qualities of class envy rhetoric, the denouncement of a fine Right-leaning organization as the Club for Greed Growth, and a criticism of President Bush's foreign policy.
If that’s what you believed, then why/how could you question why Huck was attacking Romney over McCain? You asked for a logical reason for the focus on Romney and you got it. I take it you agree it is the logical and appropriate tactic for Huck.
You misinterpret what I said. I contrasted Huck’s strengths to Romney’s weaknesses. How you interpret that as there being no difference between Huck and McCain is beyond me.
The biggest difference between Huck and McCain is Tax Policy, but Huck is equally different from all candidates on that one. Another key one is on sanctity of life. Yet another is his focus on education, and especially the role of arts in education. Unfortunately, I don’t think Huck is with mainstream America on those, so it doesn’t make sense for him to focus on those particular weaknesses.
Most everything Huck could attack McCain on could be turned back against him.
“And there you have it... no significant difference between the two.”
Bingo. Evangelical doesn’t make you conservative, especially if you support a big government taxer like Huckabee. Otherwise, hell all of Jesse Jackson’s old coalition was every bit as conservative.
