VAN SUSTEREN: So what's your plan now?
HUCKABEE: We're headed to Wisconsin tomorrow. We'll be up there for a couple of days. We'll kind of see where we're going to be over the weekend, then we'll be back probably in Wisconsin. A lot of our focus over the next few weeks is going to be in Texas, in Ohio. Those are two big states. Texas is a state that's obviously next to us, close to us. We've got a strong organization, a lot of supporters in Texas. It's a very conservative state, and I think that's where we're going to do well because Texas voters, like all the voters of America, they ought to have a choice. They ought to have an actual election and have a campaign, not a coronation. And we plan to give it to them.
VAN SUSTEREN: Have you done the crunching of the numbers? Because I know this should be about policy, but frankly, now it's really about numbers and delegates. Have you done that number crunching to see, you know, if you're still in the game?
HUCKABEE: Well, the game may be for us to go to the convention, if nobody gets 1,191 delegates, and that's still a possibility. Until someone gets that magic number, we still have an election process, and there is no nominee. Once that happens, we've got a nominee, and it's time to rally around him. And so if that's not me, then we'll rally around who it is. But if we don't have one and we go to the convention, then we'll make the decision at that convention, and the delegates will decide. I'll have as good a chance as anybody.

It’s time to exit stage left, Huck.
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
The longer he stays in, the less he will have a political future.
Yep.
You are just scared that a man of Faith in the whitehouse may stop the gravy train.
No, those who want him to leave were never for him in the first place. He loses nothing by staying. The states that haven't voted yet deserve a choice. Huckabee is giving them one. If they choose McCain then it is over. This is still a republic and the people haven't finished voting yet. You don't get to dictate when the race is over.
Stop /what/ gravy train? An ever expanding budget while he was governor of Arkansas, with expanding taxes, with an expanding government and hundreds of millions more going to school administrators while not increasing the actual funding of classroom education.
Huckabee would continue the gravy train.
Yes, thank you!
He left the Republican Party in Arkansas leaderless and in shambles..So where is the "we" in Arkansas, Mike? Where?
sw
Priceless! That made my evening.
What else do you expect from an unemployed proclaimed religious hillbilly politician that in all reality belongs in a bar band and living in a double wide?
I’m honestly unclear what that comment was meant to be. If it was not sarcasm, it’s wrong on SO many levels, I can’t even begin to deconstruct it.
Noone wants or needs a preacher-in-chief. The Huckasquirrel gives independents and a good number of religious folks the creeps.
He is trash just like Hilly and Billy from Arkansas. No offense to anybody living in Arkansas, but really people. Would you consider moving?

From the thread above, it is hard to tell exactly what the delegate numbers are. If Huckabee staying in gives us a brokered convention, I am all for it....even though I am not for Huckabee. But if it comes down to it, I would vote for Huckabee over McCain.
STOP the gravy train? What about amnesty and free college education to illegals? What is your definition of gravy train?
I see that as a good thing.
As long as he has the money to do it, let him keep running his campaign. If people want to keep funding his campaign, it's their money, they can waste it however they like.
He doesn't stand a chance. He never did. They only reason he is doing this well is because so many conservatives hate McCain and don't have any other choice. He has even worse chances in the general election than McCain.
I just hope he makes enough of a fool out of himself that we won't hear from him again after his campaign ends.
One more thing. About the “man of Faith” comment, so was Muhammed.
Hukabee staying in the race causes McCain to have to spend money that could be saved to go after Obmama later. Pack it in Huckabee and McCain may give you a seat in his cabinet.
huck is 2 breaths away from being a cadaver, he should stop making a fool of himslf and drop out
I forgot how chubby he was! I wish he would exploit his weight loss a little more and his religion a little less.
Glad you liked it. Although it is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Actually, only 70%, rounding up. But what's a few percentage points among friends? Virginia and Missouri both hurt his chances to force a brokered convention. It's funny to look at the difference a few things made. With no Thompson entry, it appears that FReepers would be in a panic to stop Huckabee. With no Romney entry, the same thing. A couple more points in Missouri, Virginia, and Oklahoma where he was close, and he would need 52% to force a brokered.
McCain could still blow up in public or his health could force him to drop out. There's no reason for Huckabee to drop out.
Yeah, no kidding. He’s starting to make himself look like an even bigger buffoon than Ron Paul, and that’s not easy to do.
You sound exactly like somebody from the New York Times. Or the Boston Globe. I think your comments are pretty indicative of where many of Huckabee’s opponents are coming from, though.
Huck isn’t my candidate, but..he isn’t trash either. He has every right, and I, as a person who has yet to vote in the primary, appreciate the fact that he gives me an option other than the scum McCain.
What harm does Huck do by staying in the race other than to point out what a POS and nonstarter McLame is?
Stay in it Huck, even though you were never my 1st, 2nd, or third choice. You are tougher than the rest of the so called conservative weenies who have already backed McCain.
I don’t know about that. He left the state with 100% Republican appointees in place, for one thing. He was unpopular with Republicans enough that they voted for him overwhelmingly in two reelection bids... wait, that doesn’t fit the template...
See post 19 to see why I think he is trash.
If Axlrose wants Hucklebee in the whitehouse, he or she definatly has an appetite for destruction of our country. Welcome to the jungle!
Hey, he may be trash, but he is no worse trash than the scum McCain.
Based upon the results of the primaries folks are moving away from this fraud. He still has some good people fooled but not for much longer. I cant think of a reason he is even in the race but it’s his choice. Maybe a TV show later? Another shady book deal maybe? How about a used car lot?
Wonder if this guy qualifies for a huckster pardon......and maybe in state tuition?

I kind of agree, so...why should we care if the Huck gets under the POS McCain’s skin?
In fact, McCain damn deserves it. Won’t make any difference to me, I still won’t get behind, the Shamnesty open borders, Juan Hernandez employing, traitor McCain.
Who you going to vote for? I think I’ll write in Hunter.
I was for Hunter, then for the conservative “warrior” Fred, who folded like a cheap suit.
Now I am for anyone who isn’t Hillary, Obama, or McCain.
Isn’t it a wild and crazy thing? /s
Glad to see him pointing out that he is of the same generation as Obama. Obama is already attacking McCain as a Washington insider that would be more of the last eight years. Huckabee is the only outsider in the race who the Dems. can’t bludgeon with that. Huckabee still gives people a chance to vote for buyer remorse and keep McCain out.
