I can’t stand either of them, though I dislike the Huckster more than McCain, who is at least a decorated veteran.
Still, it doesn’t hurt to show McCain a little humility. Maybe the Huckster is acting as good lesson from the conservative wing of the party, even if Huckabee isn’t a conservative, either. If he’s perceived as one, the lesson still counts.
And when it comes right down to it, no matter the outcome of this race, we lose. All of us. Some of us just don’t see it yet.
What I find amusing is that the Huckster wouldn’t lay a glove on McCain when he had the chance. Mitt Romney was enemy #1. Now the Huckster needs Romney’s supporters to keep his VP chances alive. He’s obviously picking up some of them, but others are giving him the finger. McCain doesn’t need Huckabee anymore. But Huckabee could probably pick up more delegates if he changed his name to “Not John McCain.”
