Huckabee, The Dealin's Done

You got to know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em.
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sitten at the table.
There'll be time for countin' when the dealin's done.


Kenny Rogers, The Gambler

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, the preacher-politician, persists in staying in the race for the Republican presidential nomination despite an almost insurmountable lead by the presumptive nominee Sen John McCain. Huckabee, whose most memorable lines of the campaign consists of muttering nonsense about going to college to major in miracles and the culinary delights of microwaved squirrel, claims that this campaign is not about him but rather the Christian conservative, evangelical wing of the Republican party. That explanation just does not ring true when you consider that Huckabee, unlike the other candidates who have fallen by the wayside, does not have a regular full time job awaiting him and therefore needs something to do to pass the time. Or perhaps he is just positioning himself for the vice presidential slot.
