I wonder why Mike Huckabee didn’t give it a try? Perhaps because he couldn’t win? He wouldn’t do that, would he? Wait a minute, didn’t he do that with McCain?
Huckster’s job was to make sure the AR GOP was crippled and shrunk to pre-1966 levels. Mission accomplished.
He didn’t give it a try because he didn’t want to. At this point, he’s finished a long campaign. Should McCain not win in 2008, a Senate seat would make running for President hard to impossible as the same folks who attacked for going off to make speeches attack him for campaigning and not being in Washington to vote.
