I'm Just Sayin'

Hey what's up with Huck? I mean...why is Mike Huckabee staying in the Republican primary when he has absolutely no chance of gaining enough delegates to win the nomination? (Hint...Huckabee believes in miracles). When asked why he is hanging in there...his reply is, "I hate to leave the courtroom until the verdict's in". Wow...do you think he is delusional? Well of course he is, but I'm referring to being delusional about his chances of winning the nomination.

I have a theory. OK...maybe not a totally original theory, but  let's not nitpick. Huckabee thinks there is a chance that McCain will drop dead. It's as simple as that. McCain is getting on up there and with that temper and all... he could just drop dead of a heart attack or stroke. High blood pressure IS the silent killer. Especially if he keeps pissin' the conservatives off. They have connections you know. I'm not really sure how the process would proceed if Mac does kick the bucket. Surely this has been considered and there are rules in place.

There is another possibility. What if...what if with all the dirt digging that's going on...you know, the digging for trash against McCain that is underway...what if somebody finds something really bad. Really, really bad... illegal and he is indicted for a felony? The Republicans can't run a candidate for the presidency who is under indictment. Can they? What if he is elected anyway and then sent to prison? You see, by hanging in there, Huckabee stands to be next in line if something goes really wrong for McCain.

The kicker is this. Huck can then claim that whatever happens to McCain is God's will.

I can't prove any of this. Hell, that's what conspiracy theories are...unprovable speculations. And there have been other hangers on like Huck. Jerry Brown did it, so did Howard Dean, Bill Bradley, George H W Bush and Ronald Reagan...and others. Were they all secretly waiting for something to happen to their opponents? I'm just sayin'.
