But we were still attacked on W's watch, well into his presidency. You can't blame everything on Clinton.

Mitt has been spiraling since the last debate. These attack ads on Huckabee will be his death nail.
Huckabee comes off as a nice and genuine guy. You go after him on anything other than being busted for molesting a goat, you are asking for a world of blow back.

No...sadly 30% of the country still supports the Bush/ Cheney Administration. Most of those who do support the president are the Evangelicals, which make up a large percentage of the voting bloc in the Republican primaries.
Therefore by aligning himself with Bush, Romney is essentially aligning himself with the Evangelicals that will support Bush/ Cheney regardless of their actions. Its a smart move for the primaries, but not in the general election, people besides those crazies want change.

President Bush is the Republican President right? It is expected that Romney(R) align himself with our sitting President G W Bush.

Mitt Romney didn't align himself with President Bush. He said Mike Huckabee was wrong in his characterization of Bush. Then he said that the president has kept us safe for six years now, "and that's not easy."
And by the way, he's right. President Bush has stopped a lot of terrorist attacks since 9/11. We were attacked less than a year after he entered office, but not one time since. That's not an easy thing to accomplish.

Yes, he has sealed his fate, he has no chance of winning now seeing how last time I looked over 70% of Americans want an end to this unconstitutional invasion of Iraq. It is not a war, it can only be a "war" if war is declared in congress which is clearly defined in our contitutuion and it clearly was not. Bush just thinks he can do whatever he wants and has to answer to nobody. Our sons and duaghters were taken to fight on false pre tenses. The bush administration as a whole should be charged with tresion!

i mean it maybe makes sense you always hear that the President has a 30% approval rating figure that 50 percent are Democrats and that leaves you with 60% of Republican's supporting the President. So yes, in Iowa it makes sense. However it could lose him some votes in NH.

Mitt has to split evangelicals to place in the top two . . . If he takes Iowa and New Hampshire he has a better standing in South Carolina (also an evangelical state). It's pretty standard strategy now that Huckabee is viable.

It definitely should be the kiss of death for his campaign.
I don't see how any body could vote for a canidate that lined up with Bush.
But then let's back up. Bush was elected to a second term.

I think it is just another nail in his coffin.
Huckabee hammered several nails in Mitt's coffin by proclaiming that he is the better christian.
And Mitt nailed his own coffin several times by grossly flip flopping on the issues.
