I agree that bill was a disaster. I also agree that having Juan Hernandez on the McCain team (even though McCain says he is an unpaid volunteer with no input on policy) leaves room to doubt McCain's sincerity. So either McCain's awakening is false or perhaps his turn around is real and he is using Hernandez's radical open borders/open trade stance to lure the Latino vote for McCain. And if that is the case McCain then he is disingenuous and is stabbing hopeful illegals in the back. And we certainly do not want a back stabber in the White House. Perhaps this will come up in future debates and this can be fully disclosed to the American people.

And yes I think he is a spoiler for Romney. The reason I won't back Romney is his demeanor... he always has a wisecracking smirk on his face during the debates. He has run what I think are dishonest campaign ads attacking both McCain and Huckabee. The bottom line is I just don't trust him. Of course McCain has said some questionable things as well. But I would rather have someone who is a not always a party "yes man" and will stand his ground when it is the right thing to do. I think that is what is going to attract a lot of independent voters (like myself). Congress needs to learn to put America first and not go along with the party simply to further ones political career.

I’m just saying voting for MCcain is like voting for a democrat. I really only supported Mike Huckabee before I decided to support Mitt. I started losing hope witht he guy after the Florida Primary. Then I just came to the conclusion that Huckabee was just a one hit wonder and he was never doing well in the other primaries. So now I am going with the next best choice. Do you think that Huckabee could make or break Mitt Romney and do you think Romney can use Huckabee as to his advantage? or Do you think he is a Romney spoiler?
