Mike Huckabee: Mitt Romney is more 'electable'

Mike Huckabee rapped Rick Perry for his Social Security comments on Laura Ingraham's radio show, and suggested that Tim Pawlenty lined up behind Mitt Romney because he may be the more "electable" choice.

"What Tim [Pawlenty] is looking at is the fact that Mitt may be the most electable Republican," said Huckabee, adding at another point, "We’ve got good candidates that aren’t getting enough airtime, I was keeping count. Rick Perry got 15 questions posed; Rick Santorum and Herman Cain got five. I’ve been in that situation when you're stuck out on the edge of that platform and you’re given token opportunities to respond and it’s very difficult to break out when the press decides who is going to be in the game and who isn’t.”

Also, he said bluntly: “Perry hurt himself a lot with his Social Security talk and what he said may be technically true, but you go to South Florida or even any part of Florida or even the part where I live in the panhandle where you have a lot of retired people and essentially say that Social Security is a criminal enterprise, that’s problematic.”

Huckabee is going to endorse Romney, unless Santorum gains traction.

If only we had elected Mitt 4 years ago, we would be in so much better shape and now we have the chance to correct the grevious error of Obummer.

I can't see Govenor Huckabee endorsing Romney, if he did I wouldn't vote for him. Santorum has my vote.
