Anyone catch on to what's going on with Huckabee yet?

If Huckabee were to drop out, his 10-15% would almost certainly go entirely to Romney, which would bump McCain out for the nomination. So as long as Huckabee stays in, McCain will continue winning. I think there might be a VP slot in store for Huckabee if he stays in long enough to rob enough votes from Romney to help McCain win.

Plus McCain is obviously weak on the economy, which is an issue that Huckabee is more familiar with (having been a Governor), so adding Huckabee to McCain's ticket will make McCain more electable in the general election.
