I heard earlier on one of the talk radio shows (so take it for what it's worth) that McCain's inner circle had quietly ruled out Huckabee as a VP choice because he was too conservative and divisive, but they were trying to keep it quiet until McCain gets the nomination. McCain is looking for a more "moderate" choice like Tom Ridge, Joe Lieberman etc.
If Huckabee learns that he is just be used by McCain like a cheap Saigon pleasure girl he may become a bit friendlier to Romney. Perhaps Romney should beat McCain to the punch and offer Huckabee the VP slot. It may very well end up that Huckabee decides the nominee and it would be great to beat McCain at his own game.
THAT would be amusing!
McCain has looked across the crowded room and given a wink to Huckabee. But he just wants to dance slowly with him on the dance floor and whisper sweet nothings into his naive little ears. He's leaving with someone else. Who's gonna drive Huckabee home? Who's gonna let him cry on their shoulder? I feel bad for the lil' feller. Not really, but I'm emoting.
Not sure Huckabee would accept the VP slot from Romney instead of McCain, but if Huckabee+Romney had a majority, what if Romney offered him the #1 spot on the ticket? I would expect Romney would rather be President than have Huckabee take the role, but he might still feel Huckabee was better than McCain.
At this point i’d cut my left thumb off for a Romney/Huck presidency.
