If it isn't already over, it will soon be over. In the interest of conservatives, the honorable thing for Huckabee to do is get out of the race. Unlike Romney, who came close in Georgia and runs strong throught the nation, Huckabee has virtually no appeal beyond his narrow southern base. Exit polls show that Romney splits his share of evangelicals with Huckabee and McCain. In the many states where there isn't a high number of evangelicals, Huckabee puts up pathetic numbers. That's the reason he's way behind Romney in the popular vote and the delegate count. Look at Romney's numbers in Georgia and Tennessee, and look at Huckabee's numbers in the northeast and all other regions beyond the south. Huckabee is putting up Ron Paul numbers outside the South, and the excuse of money is not political reality. What is political reality is that conservatives have no chance with Huckabee in the race. With Romney out of the race, Huckabee has no chance. With Huckabee out of the race, Romney has a slim chance after the damage on Tuesday where it's clear that Huckabee is merely running away from McCain and against Romney in the South. A call to all conservatives, if Huckabee is really a conservative, he will do the honorable thing and endorse Romney and get out of the race. Otherwise, I suggest that Romney consider demanding conservative concessions from McCain and endorsing McCain and formally hand the nomination to McCain to end the split in the conservative vote. Otherwise, if McCain plays games, continue the campaign to the convention and watch Huckabee's campaign go bankrupt and down the tubes. There are no real areas left where Huckabee can get any kind of serious delegate counts in a 3 man race. McCain bank vault isn't strong and Romney can power play both McCain and Huckabee all the way to the convention. Do the math, and some point, Huckabee will have to drop out. From here on out, he becomes less of factor. There are no more high number sothern states for Huckabee to really play in. I laugh at Huckabee's numbers outside the south. In North Carolina, Howard Coble has already endorsed Romney, and Coble is an old evangelical congressman. As this process continues, Georgia is proof that Huckabee can only eke out a few southern states and gets beat in South Carolina. It's imperative that conservatives force the issue with Huchabee who is selling out real conservatives by running a conservative vote splitting campaign for the singular purpose of blocking his way as a minior in the moderate maverick administration of John McCain. Conservatives need to run to win, not sacrifice our principles for political ambition. If it isn't already over, it will soon be over.
