Values Voters Summit - They Picked Huckabee
http://news.aol.com/article/mitt-romney-defends-record-as-mike/677734?icid=main|main|dl1|link2|http%3A%2F%2Fnews.aol.com%2Farticle%2Fmitt-romney-defends-record-as-mike%2F677734

(Sept. 19) - A day after former Baptist minister and likely presidential rival Mike Huckabee offered a withering critique of Mitt Romney's record, the former Massachusetts governor made his pitch to the same group of religious conservatives.

Romney appealed to attendees at the Values Voter Summit in Washington on Saturday, using a speech that drew heavily from his address to social conservatives at the same hotel earlier this year. "Putting such a spirit-crushing, back-breaking debt burden on our children is unworthy of our national character," he said.

"That is why I believe that this spending and borrowing is not just economically irresponsible, it is morally wrong."

The former Republican presidential candidate, widely considered a likely 2012 contender, was on the ballot for the gathering's 2012 presidential straw poll, along with Huckabee, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Indiana Rep. Mike Pence and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

He might be able to take the Repub nomination in 2012, but there's no way in hell he'd actually take the White House. He's really just too loopy to appeal to enough people.
