Why Huck Is Running?

Some theories, today, as to why Huckabee - who barely has a snowballs chance in hell of winning - is still running in the race.

It could be pretty simple: The two have run very cordial campaigns, no real fighting, not bashing each other. It ultimately could be good news for McCain that Huck is running. Why?

Imagine if Huck dropped out. McCain would have the nomination wrapped up for certain. But since Huck si in the race, the media actaully has to spent time covering McCain's wins. Instead of a media fre-for-all just covering the democratic race, they are forced to cover the republican (race - if you want to call it that) simply because there is a contender.

One last point: Huckabee would need 93% of the delegates from here on out in order to get the nomination. However, he just needs to make sure MCCain DOESN"T get something like 45% of the delegates remaining. If that happens, then it goes to the convention where it will be a free-for-all. So there si some logic to a Huckabee run beyond my own theory.

McCain, however, looks like he will roll in teh Potomac Primaries, effectiely ending Huck's Hopes.
