Huckabee Soldiers On
Thu, 02/07/2008 - 5:03pm
Via CNN's Political Ticker, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee says that he is staying in the race to win it.
I didn't think that Huckabee would bow out immediately and if he ends up staying in the race through Texas and Ohio, we might see some interesting things happen. To be clear, I don't expect him to make up significant ground on Senator John McCain's commanding lead, but there's still a Vice Presidential slot to audition for on the GOP ticket. If Huckabee can rally the movement conservative opposition to McCain then I think he's fairly well positioned to make a good showing for the VP slot. At the same time, McCain might be able to take a significant step toward making nice with the movement conservatives by having one of their own as his VP.
I am going to really miss the intellectually tortured screeds defining how Multiple Choice Mitt is more conservative than the Straight Talk Express.

I'm still curious as to what the new dynamic is going to be.
