With Super Tuesday and the "Potomac Primaries" behind us one thing has become clear - it's over. McCain is going to be the nominee. Is there any purpose in Mike Huckabee continuing to run his race and come in second place? Huck can't win in Ohio and he won't stand much of a chance in Texas either so why continue to fight on? The only rationale I can can come up with for 2008 is that Huck continues to march in an effort to please the hardcore right wing of the party in hopes of future backing. If that's the only reason then it's time to stop.
Every Republican in this campaign continues to cite the Reagan influence and what he stood for. The reason he was successful was because people from all walks of life believed in him as a person and as a leader - not because he was from the right wing or the center. In 1980 Ronald Reagan narrowly defeated a very, very unpopular President in Jimmy Carter. Carter won the Presidency on a platform of "change" and a "new beginning" away from the ills of the Nixon/Ford White House and the shadows of Vietnam. I wonder if Huck sees that point of history as a parallel to today and continues to campaign not for 2008 but for 2012.

Maybe Huck is still around because he is thinking VEEP. Isn't it time to start seeing the jockeying for position for the #2 spot?
