I suspect Huckabee is running as essentially an audition to become the vice presidential nominee should one of the two Yankees who are the front runners (Giuliani and Romney) get the nomination. If he can win or have a second place showing in the Southern primaries, Huckabee will have some selling points to the front runners, who have weak appeal south of the Potomac and Ohio rivers.

I think you're right. And that would be a disaster for the party and the country, especially if it's a Giuliani/Huckabee ticket
