Huckabee is officially done... he just hasn't bowed out yet. He is wasting his supporters' money

[Ghost in the Machine]

I swiped this graph from motherjones.com, which they say they got from a McCain email.


"It's official: the former Governor of Arkansas is toast. Now it's just a matter of time until he realizes it and drops out. But hey, he doesn't have anything else to do (other than firing up that popcorn popper). I say let him have his fun."

As you can see, by the remaining delegates, and the number of delegates required, there is NO. WAY. Possible. for Huckleberry to win.

Should (or could) his supporters have him charged with fraud if he continues to campaign with no chance of winning?

Hmmmmm

1. McCain needs him. Keeps some interest in their primary, and

gets McCain some free air time. The Pukes are kind of light on donations this cycle.

2. How many does Romney have to give him?

:evilgrin:

3. Chuck will tell him when he's tired of spending money on him...

:shrug:

It's a free country and we are democracy. Questionable at times, but yes, still one by the books.:)

4. His supporters are the religiously insane citizens of Dumbfuckistan

They'll keep giving him their money as long as he asks for it. He's on a mission from god, dontcha know?

[CreekDog]

5. What money?

I don't think he has any. It's truly a campaign on the cheap.

Nothing was spent on dental work either.

6. Hey, hey... Ed Rollins doesn't want him to quit yet cause he is making money on this. n/t

7. Toastabee is officially huck

Yep, CNN pointed this out today.

8. He majored in miracles. Remember, not math.

9. Go Huckabee! WASTE that money!

...because it's money that the GOP won't be able to ask for during the general election campaign. The more the better as far as I'm concerned.

10. He probably figures that now that he won't be prez he doesn't need

to maintain his new svelte figure anymore and he can just party and feast his way through the rest of the money..........

11. Everyday Huckabee is in the race

is more PR for his 2012 run. He's building a brand for 2012. It's the only reason he's still in the race.

[Fovea]

12. But wasting the money of the taliban

is a positive good.

[MADem]

13. No he isn't. He's building a base for four years from now, or auditioning for the VP slot

What if McCain gets sick next month? Who's on deck?

I mean...really. It's not "all about" winning. Sometimes placing and showing pay dividends downstream.


Huckie is playing a long view game.
