To Adirondackal - actually it's just politics. Huck is in the race to keep his 2012 candidacy and to surpass Mitt, whom it seems is not well liked by Huck also. Mitt sees that if Huck can get a few here and there, and ends up surpassing him in deligates, it would not bode well for Mitt's 2012 bid. So, cut Huck off ar the pass... become the king-maker. As for Huck - he's a tax-and-spend, social conservative, who fiscal conservatives don't like either. My guess is he's in this to be the new Leader of the Moral Majority.

Go Mac! He'll win the presidency DESPITE the reactionary right. It's time the loopy fart right-wing of the party gets its own "thumpin"!
