It seems as though Huckabee just won't go away. If you do the math, McCain is the next Republican presidential nominee, and yet Huckabee isn't going anywhere. He acts as though he is the underdog for whom everyone is rooting and will win the race in the end. He enjoys the popularity and the publicity, and that is why he refuses to step down and graciously concede defeat during this primary season.
This is a problem for the Republicans because now that there is a clear front-runner, the Republicans should take this time to unite and begin concentrating on the general election while Hillary and Obama are still scrambling for votes and focusing on each other.
Huckabee should realize that this election is bigger that his personal campaign. His loyalties should lie with the Republican Party and what is best for the future of the Republican party, his party. Until he realizes what he should do, the Republicans are wasting time, energy, and money pretending McCain is not yet their Presidential nominee.

I agree with you completely. I feel that since Romney "suspended" his campaign many of the conservative votes have been pushed Huckabee's way. Partially because I feel that voters want a close and dramatic election, such as the one currently going on between Clinton and Obama. But with already announcing McCain as the nominee, the republican race becomes boring. In due time though Huckabee with loose his media attention and McCain will be announced as the Republican nominee
I agree as well. It is a waste of everyone's time for Hucakbee to still be in the race. It is also taking away the attention from McCain, the attention he needs from all republicans if they are to beat out the democrats in November.
