Huck Doesn't Steal From Romney

Just as an update on some prior posts and the comment threads on them, the claim by Limbaugh et al. that Huckabee's presence in the campaign is stealing votes from Romney can now be proven false.

When asked, Huckabee voters, by a margin of 2-1, prefer McCain to Romney. For details, and for additional insight on why Huckabee's evangelicals aren't falling for Romney (hint: it ain't because he's a Mormon), see this insightful post from The Evangelical Outpost.

Do they say McCain because they are fighting for the same votes, or do they say McCain b/c they think Huckabee will be his VP? Consider West Virginia and the en-masse movement to Huckabee from the McCain supporters. If there wasn't a backroom deal, then I am a monkey's uncle.
