Reply #7: both Huckabee and Romney have liabilities [View All]

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

Huckabee is perceived by conservatives as being "too liberal" on social issues and he has the liability of having raised taxes while governor of Arkansas. Romney has his religion as a liability-the people who would come out to vote for Huckabee won't all vote for Romney. And he does have the taint of flip flopping on issues-conservatives may still distrust him on things like gay rights.

I don't see Jeb Bush entering the fray right now. I think the BFEE sees this election as one the GOP will lose-they would want to come back in '12 with Jebbie, I think.
