Good-bye, Mike Huckabee

Huckabee is gone, but Ron Paul is still technically in the race. -- Chad

Lost in the shuffle last night was the official withdrawal of Mike Huckabee in his attempt to become the first Creationist (officially) to be President of the United States.

Despite the fact that he didn't win a single state after Mitt Romney suspended his race, Huckabee got a healthy percentage of votes in those states. It could easily be argued that if the Republicans had the same procedure as Democrats, where you gained delegates based on the percentage of the vote, Huckabee would have a mission in St. Paul in September. But as it is, Romney has more delegates than Huckabee.

So what should Huckabee do now? He won't be McCain's running mate. Somewhere, a TV producer wants Huckabee on late-night. Weight-loss infomercials?

Don't be surprised if he tries this running for president idea one more time, ideally in 2012.
