Romney Says Huckabee Should Drop Out

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is calling on Mike Huckabee to drop out of the race.

Romney has recently expressed concern that Huckabee will peel off enough conservatives to deprive him of victory over John McCain in Super Tuesday's Republican nomination contests in 21 states.

Huckabee, appearing on CNN, says the suggestion was "ludicrous," noting that only a fraction of the delegates needed to win the Republican presidential nomination had been apportioned thus far.

He also says Romney is the one who needs to drop out.

Romney, on ABC's "This Week" also criticized John McCain for not understanding the economy.

McCain told "Fox News Sunday" that he would veto any tax increase passed by a Democratic-controlled Congress. McCain says Congress should make President Bush's first two tax cuts permanent, and that there also should be further tax reductions for business investments.

McCain is stumping in Connecticut.

Just another biased opinion article. This entire article is misleading. Why not print the quote in question instead of forwarding the biased assumption made by some of the media? Romney never said that Huckabee should drop out. Before Super Tuesday he said that polls indicated that it was a two man race. That was the truth, and he also said later that Huckabee had worked hard and deserved to be in the race as long as he wanted.
