It’s over for Huckabee

Got to say that I’m disappointed with this sort of thing. Romney appears to have sacrificed his more conservative position for a shot at being the VP. Politically that’s a savvy maneuvre. McCain is getting on and might only serve one term (of course, he could easily serve 2).
