Huckabee Lies |
Hugh Hewitt had an hour long discussion with Mike Huckabee . Mike lied about the campaign (which is not new ):
Huckabee: “If you look at the total amount of money that people spent, look at Rudy Giuliani. I think he spent something like, what, $60 million dollars? He got zero delegates.”
Hugh Hewitt: “Governor, through…for the benefit of the audience because I’m going to get dinged on this if I don’t point it out, through the time Romney dropped out, did he have more votes than you did”?
Huckabee: I don’t know. I’d have to go back and look at where things were at the time that he dropped out. But I know that by the time it was over, we had come in second with delegates and votes.
Romney’s backing Thursday could help McCain lock up the nomination faster than initially expected. Romney said he’s encouraging his delegates — which number 280 – to back the Arizona senator, though they’re not bound to do so.
But rival Mike Huckabee, who has 242 delegates, is vowing to stay in the race.
“I may get beat, but I’m not going to quit. It’s just not in my nature,” he told FOX News after the endorsement.
