It is mathematically impossible for Huckabee to win the nomination.
Posted by Neocon in 2008 Race, Republicans(Via Right Wing News) The Corner lays it out cold.
Last week, the McCain camp was quite diplomatic and patient about Huckabee’s position. But last night, campaign manager Rick Davis sent out a somewhat impatiently-worded memo emphasizing just how impossible Huckabee’s situation is.
“The results from tonight’s primary elections in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., make it mathematically impossible for Governor Huckabee to secure the Republican nomination for president,” Davis wrote. “He now needs 950 delegates to secure the required 1,191. But in the remaining contests there are only 774 delegates available. He would need to win 123 percent of remaining delegates.”

I live in Texas, and will participate in early voting tomorrow.
I will vote for Huck despite his many failings, and despite the impossibility of a Huckabee victory.
I will do so mainly to send a message to McCain.
John Boy has to learn that he can’t take conservatives for granted.
He is better than either of The Dems running, but is too much of a RINO for me to be enthusiastic about him.
I will vote for him in the general, but I won’t be taken for granted.
Now, one thing I do like about Huck is his support for the FairTax .
