What makes you say that? If you look at the exit polls, McCain actually does very well amongst many of the same groups that Huckabee does well with.

which would bump McCain out for the nomination.
Even if that full 10-15% went to Romney, I don't think it would swing the election to Romney.

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.
Huckabee isn't strong on anything except maybe praying and raising children who pull Michael Vicks.
