He's gonna make a run at it. He was really only a victory or two away from the conservatives rallying behind him, and Romney split his vote badly in the South as soon as he decided to go with the right-wing, God/Reagan-loving edge.
You know, he would've won SC in the primary if Romney wasn't around.
It works both ways.
Romney would have won a lot of states if it wasn't for Huckabee, including Iowa, which would have really given Romney momentum going into New Hampshire.
Keep in mind, Romney had a lot more delegates than Huckabee did before Romney dropped out. If anything, Huckabee took votes away from Romney. I don't think you can say Romney took votes away from Huckabee when Romney was beating Huckabee.
Because I don't think Romney was AT ALL sincere in his beliefs, unlike Huckabee. Sure the conservative split was going to go both ways, but I think Huck would've been able to pull it off in the end, which I do not think about Romney. Besides, he might have had a delegate lead, but the primary season has a lot to do with momentum, where Romney and Huck were in a similar position of playing catch-up.
Honestly, my opinion probably has to do with the fact that I actually like Huckabee. Don't agree with him, but at least he believes what he says. Romney was about as big a toolbag to come onto the political scene in a long time.
