The only thing [Huckabee will] do is get enough delegates to assure that McCain gets the nomination. And that would be the end of conservatism for the time being.Your position assumes that Huck is keeping votes from Romney- A flawed perspective, to say the least. Look at Georgia, which Huck will win. Romney is in the basement there. If anything, Huck is keeping votes from McCain (though I doubt that too).

Well, I'm in good company. There's many others that think the same. I think you're in the minority opinion on this one. (But I do hope you're right)

Actually, my position remains the same but for a different reason now.
Huckabee came out today implying he would prefer McCain to Romney. If Huckabee were to withdraw at sometime in the future, and endorse McCain -- then his delegates would be added to McCain's total. And it looks more likely that Huckabee would endorse McCain than Romney. Therefore, those that have voted for or will vote for Huckabee would indirectly be voting for McCain once Huckabee drops out (likely) and endorses McCain (also likely).
