comMITTed to Romney!

“Huckawhiner”?

Anybody out there notice how much Mr. Huckabee has been whining lately? For Mr. Huckabee, using a constant  litany of personal attacks of Governor Romney is not enough — now he is resorting to accusations of “voter suppression.” This man is a piece of work. Huck’s entire quiver is full of straw, each of which is one clever personal or snide remark after another. Par for the course for that man. Think for a moment what the press would do to Governor Romney if he even one time used any of the language Huckabee has used all along.

Remember what this Baptist minister told the world he would do with a flagpole?

CBS NEWS — Romney To Huckabee: “No Whining” — by Scott Conroy

Do we have a new moniker for him? What about “Huckawhiner“?

ATLANTA — Mitt Romney fired back against Mike Huckabee over the former Arkansas governor’s accusation that Mitt Romney has engaged in “voter suppression” in arguing that a vote for Huckabee is a vote for John McCain.

“I don’t think he’s chosen the right word,” Romney said at a press conference after speaking to hundreds of enthusiastic supporters at a rally here. “It’s not voter suppression. I want people to vote, but I want them to vote for me. That’s sort of the nature of politics, as I understand it.”

In recent days, Romney has avoided responding to Huckabee’s barrage of attacks, as the former Massachusetts governor seeks to portray the nomination fight as a two-man race between himself and McCain. But in his remarks this afternoon, Romney hit back hard.

“First a couple of rules in politics,” he said. “One: no whining. And number two: you get them to vote for you and so I want them not to vote for Mike Huckabee and not to vote for John McCain and to vote for me … that’s not voter suppression. That’s known as politics.”

Romney was flanked by former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Penn. — a prominent conservative advocate who endorsed Romney last week. Santorum stepped to the microphone to make his own case about why Romney is the only choice for voters who want a conservative candidate as the Republican nominee.

“The reason I got in this race is I wanted to make sure a conservative got elected,” Santorum said. “I’ve been saying for a year that it isn’t John McCain. I think more and more people are coming to that conclusion — that it’s not John McCain. The alternative — the only alternative — to stop the McCain ‘Twisted Talk Express’ is Mitt Romney.”

I have a prediction: If after the results tomorrow, if Huckawhiner gets a total of 4% (like Florida), 5%, 6%, 7% of all possible non-evangelical votes, he will stay in the race. At this point, I think he knows the VP slot will not be his. It has to be a total vanity play for the man. Either way, we will see more personal attacks coming out of his quiver.
