"I think it would be a great disservice to the country and to my own party to just give up and quit because it looks like, you know, the numbers are trending toward John McCain." - Mike Huckabee

Huckabee should stay in the race until it’s won-by somebody.
McCain having to handshake a few actual Americans in the meantime won’t hurt him, and will help him be a better president. People do’nt feel connected to him and vice versa. McCain is a Washington insider who uses all that lingo when he talks. He has no personal anecdotes of other people, he can’t relate to the people he wants to lead. He needs to reach out more, and that is why Huckabee would be a great addition to his team down the road-huckabee can do all the things McCain scoffs at or finds distasteful, like talking o us and shaking our hands and inspiring us; McCain can just get back to Washington to do the government dance that he has experience with and that he does well.
Ps.-I don’t listen to talk radio. I just realized this is the reason people think I support Huckabee. For media, it is primarily the soundbites I get from the candidates on TV that have influenced me.
