BREAKING: Romney to Appear on Huckabee’s Show – Will Former Foes Overlook Past Disagreements?

September 29th, 2011 8:50 am Author: Luke Gunderson

I’ve seen some recent positive comments from Huckabee on Romney, but I didn’t see this coming:

Romney to Meet with Huckabee


Mitt Romney is scheduled to sit down for an interview with a 2008 rival for the Republican presidential nomination, Mike Huckabee, this weekend, The Caucus has learned.

Could an important endorsement be in the works?

Mr. Huckabee will tape the interview with Mr. Romney on Friday, and it will be broadcast on his Fox News show, which airs on Saturday and Sunday evenings at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Promos for the interview are set to broadcast Thursday afternoon on the network.

The 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.

    Knowing the kind of man Mitt is, this will be a very cordial and friendly interview—friends and looking to the future.

    i think this will be good…mitt so far has had a great stradigy and i am guessing this has been planned for some time:) just like the article that came out a while ago that showed that the two men had apologized and that the media has made the fued out to be bigger than it was/is. i am crossing my fingers that is so and this could also bring a healing bridge to the misinformation of the lds faith to the southern evangelicals:)

    If they hug, even the sidearm, I think I might faint.

    I don’t believe Mitt is one to hold grudges. I could be wrong, but I just don’t see it.

    Huckabee, I think, could hold grudges (Perry and Guiliani endorsement instead of Huckabee) but don’t know.

    But…….I’m sure this will be a cordial interview. Mitt is up for any kind of question thrown at him so that’s OK, too.

    I’ll be watching for sure!

    Sounds like Huckabee is finally acting like a true Christian and “forgiving” Romney for staying true to his L.D.S. faith.

    I am looking forward to this interview. I don’t expect Huckabee will endorse this early on, but I’m sure the interview will be respectful, and both Romney and Huckabee will come across well.
