....Despite winning last Thursday’s Iowa caucuses and leading in national polls, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is getting little respect from the leadership of the Ohio GOP.
Last month, when Huckabee was on the cover of Newsweek as the biggest story in presidential politics, state Republican Chairman Bob Bennett downplayed his chances for the nomination, predicting the GOP race would come down to a fight between former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Yesterday, state Rep. Kevin DeWine, the party’s deputy chairman, was similarly dismissive of Huckabee.....
The article goes on saying that Huckabee reminds Ohio Republicans of their failed, right wing, religious extremist candidate for governor, Ken Blackwell.
Huckabee is very similar to Blackwell on many issues. Would Ohio Republicans just hold their noses and vote for Huckabee if he was their candidate? It makes you wonder.
