Huckabee needed to generate some buzz about his book, ironic given its title

You don't need to write-in anything, actually.  You could simply bring the pistol.

Chillax.  I think Romney is demonized unfairly, I just thought that saying "only abortion" was inaccurate.  I'm sure has fudgin' hell not going to research what your old posts said about Romney.

Romney is seen by most political activists as a chameleon -- he's less slick than Obama or Bill Clinton at making his shift in positions seem natural.  Everyone does what he did, but he wasn't particularly good at it and politics has slapped him for it.

Fezzy, you've made a reasonable argument actually on why Mitt isn't as much as a flip flopper as he's made out to be.

Mitt did a poor job imaging himself (or his opponents did a far better at shaping his image).  He came across as a chameleon who reverse all of his positions from MA to the Republican Primary.  Like, his claim that he wanted to "double the size of Guantanamo" seemed especially fake.  Probably his abortion switch, the most highly suspicious of anything he did, was profound enough to make people skeptical of everything else.  Also, Republicans are inherently distrustful of MA.

I actually think one could have a longer list of things McCain flip-flopped on, but they would be less buzz-worthy than abortion.
