The Associated Press reports that Mike Huckabee is dropping out of the presidential race. The former Arkansas governor is withdrawing after John McCain clinched the nomination by getting 1,191 delegates.
Huckabee was the Arizona senator's chief remaining rival.

Huckabee was just staying in the race, in hopes of being asked to be the VP running mate.
He is just as scary a VP option as is Cheney, both bofoons.
When is this country going to wake up and realize that a two party system is the downfall of America and that a multi-party system such as those in may other VERY stable countries is the way to go? We have no one but ourselves to blame for the mess in which we as a nation find ourselves...shame on us!
Quite frankly, I am not happy with any of the candidates. Where is a John Adams when one is needed!
The only thing left to do is hope that everyone that has supported Ron Paul in any way during his campaign will show up for a march on Washington D.C. this summer. There is NO law that says delegates can't change their minds on who they want to vote for at the convention, and THAT is where the nominee is decided. You can also write in any candidate you choose for president.
RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2008

that's because these conventions aren't governed by many laws. the democratic and republican conventions are NOT run by the government. so just because there's no Law saying they can't, doesn't mean they can't. that's like saying there's no law stating you can't film other teams during a football game. you still can't, law or no law. that being said, I realize some delegates can change their minds, but you'd be the first to scream conspiracy if they didn't decide as the voters did.
