Huckabee is one smart politician. The fact is that McCain is the presumptive nominee and the math is against him, and yet he is still succeeding making McCain and the so-called party establish ment look like the impotent fools that they are. Huckabee has no cards or chips to stay at the table to walk away with all the stakes, but he is still at the table making the guy who has won big time look like the piker that he is, and like he is cheating to win penny ante pots that he doesn’t neeed.
There are opportunities out there, macaca moments, that Huckabee, by remaining at the table, can capitalize on. Even the appearance of shenanigans in Wash. creates the perception that the deck is stacked in favor of McCain, but also creates a story that keeps Huck's name in the news.
Stay in the race, Huck, you are doing your party and the country an invaluable service.
