Romney and Huckabee compared to McCain

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Romney would have won some more counties in the Midwest as Flyers just said as well I think he might have pulled in a few in NV and CO since, unlike McCain, Romney would have contested there. Then who knows out of IN, OH, VA, NC, and FL what Romney would gained or lost. Romney would have been better organised and have more money, as well as not being indecisive and erratic on the economy like McCain. He would have had the same problems that he had in the primary with charges of Flip Floping, his religion and his wealth. Another unknown would be the Economic collapse starting aroung Sept 15 or whenever Lehman shut down. If Obama managed to emphasize Romney's wealth, his houses, his corporate orgins and run a populist campaign Romney would have been in trouble. If Romney could resist that and emphasize his history of turning around institutions, his position on health care and the minimum wage(surprisingly anti-business) while turning attention to Obama's bailout vote, Romney could have done well.
