Hard-right Republicans already have only one possible candidate to vote for, so it makes sense for McCain to choose someone who will increase his appeal to the center, the undecided votors that he and Obama are fighting for. On the other hand, no one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of political decisions. I doubt McCain would be dumb enough to choose Huckabee.

I can very easily believe that at least some of the perpetual victims on the left will absolutely not be able to reconcile their "America is the worst country on Earth" dogmas with our electing a black man President, get the gumption they've never had for GWB and get back into the assassination business. And should that happen, lots and lots of people will try to blame the right anyway. Aren't I just a bundle of sunshine this election cycle? Oh, Great, President Huckabee, here we come. :(
