By staying in, Huckabee makes McCain look better
February 19, 2008
Thank God for Mike Huckabee. He keeps going and going.
The GOP establishment grows increasingly annoyed by Huckabee's insistence on staying in a primary race he can't win, but we see no problem. Huckabee appeals to the most conservative wing of the Republican Party, thereby forcing front-runner John McCain to more clearly define for all Republicans his ideas and agenda. And Huckabee's continued presence serves as a daily reminder of what McCain truly is, despite his recent efforts to pretend otherwise -- a moderate to the core.
Huckabee has no chance of being elected president. And thank God for that, too. This is a man who believes the world was created in six days.
But for now, he's good for American politics. Go, Mike, go.
