In 2008, Mike Huckabee- whom I sensed even then was not the wild-eyed church-and-state-mixer the secular media was trying to paint him as being- was thoroughly savaged by Mitt Romney to the point that I doubted whether Huck's supporters would ever be able to get behind Romney if he should ever be the Republican nominee. Romney's attacks were often unfair, and the former Massachusetts governor seemed utterly unconcerned about the possibility that, should Huckabee have won the nomination, Romney's own rhetoric would have provided the Democrats with almost unlimited footage for anti-Huckabee attack ads of their own.
I frankly thought that Mitt's behavior was outrageous. Fortunately, he seems to have learned his lesson and moderated his attacks on fellow Republicans this time out.
But it seems that Huck himself, in any case, holds no grudge.
He says that he regards Romney as possibly the most electable Republican in 2012- and has some zingers of his own for the...er,
bigger than life Rick Perry.
