Just read the NRO story and the comments and someone brought up a great point. This is very similar to Obama being caught in 2008 in San Francisco saying that he has trouble in PA because the rubes there cling to their guns and religion.

Here one of Romney’s top money guys going to a secret meeting on Wall Street, no doubt voicing the view of Romney and his inner circle and all of the GOP establishment and basically warning them that if Romney doesn’t get it then it won’t end up being one of their own like Bush/Ryan or Christie/Rubio but it’ll be those crazy hayseeds and hicks from the sticks Palin and Huckabee, it’ll be the evangelicals holding sway and clinging to their mama grizzly and their preacher man along with their guns and religion. Clearly making a class argument and lumping Palin and Huckabee together compared to the more polished folks like BUsh, Ryan, CHristie, Rubio, Romney, etc...

Hopefully this gets more play. It’s pretty much the same thing in many ways as what Obama said with Romney and his team being caught out in their contempt and disdain for the evangelicals and the conservative base.

By the way, I wonder how Huckabee feels about this. Huckabee remained neutral and relaly helped Romney. If he’d endorsed Santorum before IA Rick wins IA easily and possibly SC as well and things might be very different. And this is what Romney and his team think of him? Huck got played big time and hopefully he realizes it. This should how him where the establishment thinks he belongs and how they see him. Lumped in with Palin at the kiddie table.

Maybe it’s not too late. It won’t be Rick or Newt. If Palin and Huckabee got together and promised both Rick and Newt cabinet positions of their choice in exchange for their delegates and then announced that from here on Rick is the place holder for the Palin/Huck or Huck/Palin ticket, I think that would be enough to deny Romney the 1144 and get this to the convention where they’d have a great shot at winning.
