That's kind of boring.

In the meantime, here';s a rush transcript of that moment between Romney and Huckabee a few moments ago:

GOV. ROMNEY: hold on. No, i didn't, sorry. But i read his. Number two, i did support the surge. It was senator mccain of all of us, who supported the surge. On the same day that the president announced the surge, i had spoken with fred kagan, who is one of the brilliant theorists in this regard. I called for a different number. So, i also supported the surge, from the very beginning. But, look -- governor, don't try to characterize my position.


HUCKABEE: which one?

GOV. ROMNEY: You know, we're wise to talk about policies. And not to make personal attacks.

HUCKABEE: It's not a personal attack, mitt. You also supported a timed withdrawal and senator pryor from my state, was prize praising you for that.
