2008: Obama/Biden vs These 3 Tickets

[bballrox4717]

Scenerio 3:

Former Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR)/Former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA): 281 Electoral Votes
Senator Barack Obama (D-IL)/Senator Joe Biden (D-DE): 257 Electoral Votes

Give me a f***ing break. And learn to spell, while you're at it.

Huckabee/Romney or Romney/Huckabee would have been strong tickets in either 2008 or 2012. I personally like Huckabee/Romney better than Romney/Huckabee. Mike Huckabee is a really good man (I have actually had the priviledge of meeting him briefly).

I don't understand the GOP obsession that Huckabee was a stronger candidate than Romney and McCain. He had poor campaign structure, got out fund-raised, and couldn't beat McCain in South Carolina of all places, where he should have thrived. His "big win" in Iowa over Romney had a margin of victory of 3 points. Not to mention, the populace is generally through with evangelical conservative candidates. Obama would have beaten him by at least McCain's margin of loss, if not by 10 points in 2008, and he wouldn't have done better than Romney in 2012 either.
