Huckabee: 'I May Be Killing My Political Career'
While campaigning in Wisconsin today, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told a crowd, gathered at the University of Wisconsin, at Eau Claire, "I may be killing my political career, but I know this -- if we don't start thinking in terms of solving some of America's problems, we're killing all of your careers."
During a press conference immediately following the rally, Huckabee was asked to clarify his remarks.
"What I mean by that, I'm just saying there are a lot of people who say I'm staying and creating problems for the party, and there are obviously people in the party who are unhappy that I've stayed. Now, keep in mind, they're all supporting John McCain, but this sense that it's just his turn, let's just all step aside -- I find that insulting as a Republican, and as a candidate," Huckabee said.
Does anyone actually think that Mike Huckabee ever had a chance in a general election??? Mike Huckabee is not a viable nor electable candidate in a national election in any way. While John McCain has a very slim chance against either Democrat this fall, selecting Mike Huckabee would pretty much guarantee a wide margin of victory for the Democrat.

Though I don't have a horse
Though I don't have a horse in this race, I think Huckabee should stay in the race through the convention, party politics be damned. If neither of these guys really stands a chance in the general election, conservatism needs to work out where it's going, and this is a good chance to do it.
I never thought John McCain
I never thought John McCain had a chance either, after all those times he's tried in the past, but here he is!

I read and heard several
I read and heard several people who thought Huckabee had a great chance. That was even BEFORE Iowa - it certainly was much more true after that. Expat Teacher wrote about it on his blog. Byron did, too. The reality is that in many ways Huckabee is the closest thing to the image GWB ran on, and clearly that somehow worked twice.
