In the case of US Republican hopeful Mike Huckabee, he decided to attack Mitt Romney’s record.
In regards to Romney’s record: “If the true conservatives are looking for a true conservative they’ll pick me. [Mitt] Romney’s record is not a conservative record, his rhetoric is not a conservative record of even what he’s said and what he’s done.”
Huckabee had launched into using rhetoric with one week left until Super Tuesday. He also talked with reporters about his visibility in the race.
“This boy isn’t on the ropes,” Huckabee said to reporters.
He added: “There’s an old saying in the South: it isn’t about the size of the dog in the fight, it’s about the size of fight in the dog and the fact is I’ve gotten everywhere I’ve ever gotten in my political life by hanging in there and fighting until the last fight.”
So far, Huckabee has not won a primary or caucus since winning Iowa. Romney had also called the race for the GOP nomination as a “two-man race.”
Huckabee responded by saying: “It may be a two-person race – I’m just trying to think me and who else would be in that race.”
In terms John McCain: “Well he’s gotta beat me for the presidency first and he hasn’t done that. So let’s not count me out just yet.”
He also raised questions about John McCain. In that regard, Huckabee said: “Now if you want to elect a president who thinks Washington has the answers, just keep one of those guys up there that’s been there a while. They’ve had their chance. And they’re nice guys, but it’s time for a new generation of leaders who come from the heart of America, who understands that, for government to work, we have to work with totally new ideas.”
He then added: “We can’t just sit up there and hear what the boo-birds tell us we can’t do. We need to take the heart and soul, the resilience and the resolve of the American people and start making sure we get some things done.”
