(22,913 posts)Huck skipped 2012, so did Christie, so did Jeb Bush and Daniels. A better analogy is to the 2004 Democratic field and John Edwards rather than the 2012 Republican field and Santorum. Obviously Edwards didn't win the Democratic nomination but he was a serious candidate who had a real shot at it.

Long before they dropped out of the races, it was abundantly clear that neither of them had anything beyond a snowball's chance of winning the nomination.
I really don't see the difference between them.
