I like both Romney and McCain. The problem was that both were moderate conservatives. Everyone knew they were moderates, that's why they went so far early on.
McCain is more left than Romney, so he had to try to push himself as the "true conservative". Everyone knew he wasn't really that far right, so he never gained much traction.
Huckabee, if he ever got the nomination, would make Carter look like FD freaking R.
