: Well, the game may be for us to go to the convention, if nobody gets 1,191 delegates, and that's still a possibility

He is too stupid to be President.

Huckabee now needs 76% of the remaining delegates to force a brokered convention.

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.

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.
