“McCain is desperate to keep conservative Republicans from coalescing around another candidate, and the best way to prevent it is to have the GOP vote fractured,” said University of Virginia political science professor Larry Sabato. “Huckabee knows that by keeping his candidacy alive, he’s potentially helping McCain win another split plurality vote. McCain knows it, too.”
If that is McCain’s logic, then he is brain dead. Florida is his chance of putting this election away. Huckabee is preventing him from doing that.
I might also add that I’ve sworn there are only two candidates who would make me leave the GOP: McCain and Huckabee. Put both of them on the ticket, and it’s a no-brainer.
Me too, altho Guiliani is a close second.
