If you read the pundits, you would think that Mike Huckabee was never on the ballot in the GOP primary - even though he garnered the second highest number of delegates and dominated the primaries in the South - a key to the Republican base. Just sample the talking heads and writing keyboards. David Broder is among the most aggregious Huckabee ignorers. In his latest piece on the subject, Mike was not mentioned at all, although Romney was (even though Huckabee got more delegates and has no discernable base). Recent polls of Huckabee hounds show that his voters may do what Clinton voters threaten to do - stay home - and especially if Romney gets the VP nod. Broder can only shape the news so much. The reality is that Huckabee has to be on any short list. If he is ignored, there is an opening for Bob Barr in the South. Now wouldn't that make news.
