A vote for Romney = a vote for Hillary

Some time ago a Romney supporter and writer Hugh Hewitt wrote an article trying to argue that a vote for Huckabee was a vote for Giuliani.

At the time he may have had a point. Nobody knew who Huckabee was, and then there was the money issue. Huckabee just couldn't raise enough money to make the pundits happy.

But all of the sudden: HUCKABOOM!! Huckabee soars in the polls, flew past Romney nationally, soared in Iowa and even soared to the front of the pack (according to Rasmussen.

Since then, Rudy has recovered a few percentage points to keep his front-runner position, but is still languishing in many of the early states (where Huckabee remains strong).

But is the Huckaboom over yet? I don't think so. But many fiscal conservatives insist on continuing to support the businessman in the pack, Mitt Romney.

Now Mitt Romney will never beat Rudy Giuliani for several reasons.

Mitt has been a businessman for most of his career. He became a governor in a very business oriented state and ran that state for a couple of years. Mitt appears to have some experience running things, but most people can readily understand that running a business and running a country are entirely different things. Rudy has way more name recognition that Mitt does.

Then there's religion. Like it or not, religion is a factor when it comes to elections. While Mormonism has been around for long enough to gain a decent amount of respect, there are still a lot of people who would have a hard time voting for a Mormon. Rudy's Catholic; there are a ton more Catholics out there than Mormons and they don't go around on mission trips and knock on people's doors.

Also, Governor Romney has some serious questions to answer about his recent conversion to social conservatism and his attempts to get away from his previous record of statements that say "I'm not trying to return to Reagan/Bush" and "I will protect a woman's right to choose." Why did Mitt in 2 short years make such a drastic change of positions from the time when he was running for governorship in MA?

So why is a vote for Gov. Romney a vote for Hillary? It's easy. Rudy is a liberal, but will still be able to beat Gov. Romney in the primaries. However, when a liberal like Rudy goes up against a liberal like Hillary (who is a genuine liberal (who sometimes masquerades as a conservative) with all the other genuine liberals to support her, she will definitely win.

A vote for Gov. Romney is a vote for Giuliani. A vote for Giuliani is a vote for Hillary.

Let's not let Hillary get in the Whitehouse! Vote for HuckaBEE 08 and let Hillary feel the sting!
