huck denies deal was made in WV

[gaazn]

is this the politically correct thing to do? Or is the deal not being honored? It's already on the RP2008 page, so did RP do it to ensure that Huck camp follows through on the deal, or else they will be considered untrustworthy.

Huckabee is obviously a man of his word.

 

[gaazn]

if he is a man of his word, then no deal was made because that's what he says?

 

[Ethek]

Huck denies this on TV or is this speculation?

 

[SovereignMN]

Huck said that he and McCain didn't talk about it. WHICH I BELIEVE. But I'm sure that Huckabee and McCain's surrogates talked about it. THus what he said it TECHNICALLY true, but still disingenious.

Huck was probably asked by the media to not talk about Ron Paul

No, but it's the Huckatypical what-did-you-expect result.

This was solely a local campaign deal.

This was solely a local campaign deal.

Yes, officially the 3 would be listed as Huckabee delegates, but they would be Ron Paul supporters that we name to them, then when we get to the national convention, we vote for whomever we want.

"There was no backroom deal. There wasn't even a frontroom deal. There was no deal,'' he (Huckabee) said.

Mike Huckabee himself did not make the deal, we had Romney and Huckabee state campaign staff offering us 3 delegates each in the hallway, surrounded by our delegates and campaign staff.

Huck is just spinning it. Romney's spinning too because he was offering the same thing to us.

They both offered three...and weren't willing to go five? And what assurance do we have that we'll really get those three delegates? Is Huckabee's slate chosen and public yet?

Why would you give Huckabee the first win of the day to Huckabee is beyond me.
This man has always stolen RP's message, and now we give him our votes?
I do not understand

 

[Gustogus]

You give huckabee the state to keep things as convoluted as possible..

Yeah I think we should have given them to Romney. We had to make this a tight race between McCain and Romney...

Becuase both camps were offering the same thing, and the Huck folks seemed like the most likely to follow through with it.

And you are right, he has stolen some of our platforms, which means many of his supporters support parts of our platform, they'd be much easier to win over than the Romney people.

Because we don't have to worry about Huckleberry Hound winning and no one knew McCain was going to run away with so many delegates today. In hindsight, it probably would have been better to go with Romney.

You do know that Romney said Ron Paul deserved to be laughed at?

 

[jblosser]

They made the right pick. Huckabee will drop before Romney, which is when they get released.

If Huck is spinning it, will he or has he followed through?
