I think at least Texans should have a choice. If GOP does not respect a major portion of its conservative base, and ignores its own rule of delegate count, what kind of credibility does it have? I do not think GOP should be supported at any cost.

In 2000 the race was decided by the time it got to NJ, what choice did I have? Since there is no mathematical way for Huckabee to win, why would he want to play the spoiler? Why force a brokered convention?

The longer he stays in, the more effect he can have on any platform... maybe.

A lot of us paleo-conservatives are having a hard enough time with McCain. Somebody has to keep pressure on or the GOP will just be the Demo-lite party.

I'd love to see McCain debate Huckabee. Of course that isn't gonna happen.

The myth that it's a "mathematical impossibility" for Huckabee to win was part of the joke--sure he was caricaturing himself, but others as well--it's not a mathematical impossibility when one considers all that's needed is that McCain doesn't get the 1191 delegates, not that Huckabee does. What's Huckabee spoiling anyway, it's not like he's bashing McCain, he's out there talking about real issues and proposed solutions.

It is a mathematical impossibility for him to get enough votes to win outright. That is a spoiler role. It may be within the rules but it isn't going to endear you to the party.
