With the Democratic nomination still not decided, Huckabee's presence in the Republican race does not hurt McCain. In fact, it keeps attention on the Republican side. A McCain solo show right now would get about as much press as a Mel Gibson DUI during a Britney episode. Huckabee's unconventional ways and unique perspective on what seems to be an unwinnable nomination, forces reporters to cover Republican events. With the current Obama tour blanketing the nation like a swarm of locusts, the Huck factor makes the Republican contest interesting enough to follow. Otherwise, McCain would be left stripped and barren in the field of boring, not worthy of attention. My hopes are that Huck's miracle will occur, but if it doesn't, a fight to the end is worth watching.
