When asked about Tim Pawlenty’s endorsement of Romney this morning on the Laura Ingraham show this morning, Huckabee responded: “What Tim is looking at is the fact that Mitt may be the most electable Republican.”
Mike Huckabee also spoke up about Rick Perry’s comments on Social Security, and how that would hurt him in Florida.
âPerry 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, thatâs problematic.â Huckabee said, adding, âRick likes to come across as the straight-shootin,â blunt talking guy and that works very well in Texas and it will work very well in what I call the hardcare center of the Republican primary. But when you have to branch out and get to those younger voters and general election voters, Iâm not sure how it’s going to play out.â
Huckabee touted Rick Santorum as someone that he would be likely to support.
