“Romney has an excuse that Huckabee does not have. Romney was governor of one of the most liberal states in the U.S. - deep in enemy territory.”
In a state that elects a lot of Republican Governors.
But this one only got one term and turned it over to a Democrat.
Not surprising in a state that keeps electing Ted Kennedy. Massachusetts is much more liberal than Arkansas so Romney has an excuse Huckabee doesn't.
