This should be fun:
Mitt Romney is scheduled to sit down for an interview with a 2008 rival for the Republican presidential nomination, Mike Huckabee, to be shown this weekend, The Caucus has learned.
And for those who don't remember all the way back to the 2008 Republican primary, Michael Shear reminds us of just why this is an odd couple:
The two men have had a tense relationship since 2008, when a surprise victory in the Iowa caucuses by Mr. Huckabee, a former governor of Arkansas, upended a carefully designed plan by Mr. Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, to win the state that year.
Oh right. That whole costing-Romney-the-nomination thing.
I wonder what they'll talk about:
"So, Mittens, thanks for taking the time out of your busy unemployment to come beg me for my meaningless endorsement."
"Hey, Mike, thanks for having me. So, uh, you still eat deep-fried squirrels?"
"Yeah. You still enjoy cruising around town with the family dog strapped to the car roof?"
"Hey, I never thanked you for totally fucking up my path to victory in 2008."
"Sure, Mittens. Any time."
"So ... uh ... can I get your endorsement?"
Yep, I'm sure that'll be must-see TV.
