Those are all fair reasons to support McCain over Romney, Hunter, but if one is considering theoretical ACU ratings and electablity it makes no sense to prefer Huckabee to either of them. Huckabee raised taxes as governor, and he's doing no better than Romney in the head-to-head polls against Clinton or Obama.

If Romney were, say, a Methodist, it's hard to believe that Huckabee would have gotten the oxygen that he has in the first place (there was anecdotal evidence, at least, that the "Mormon issue" loomed large in Iowa).
