Math or Miracles? February 12, 2008

Mike Huckabee, when asked about the near-impossibility of his presidential bid (according to CNN, even if Huckabee won 50% of the vote vs. 40% for McCain in all of the remaining states, he would still come up short) answered with, “I didn’t major in math. I majored in miracles…”
Judging from the long odds, I’m guessing Huckabee is expecting McCain to get struck down, Ananias and Saphira-style, because that’s really his best hope.
And, by the way, I did major in math.
I think it’s an issue of visibility. It would serve Huckabee well to be vice president for a while.
McCain’s pretty old, anyway. Who knows what’ll happen?
I lived under Huckabee as governor for a time and am certainly no fan of his. That being said, I’m not a big fan of Hillary, either, having spent 16 of my 30 years under Bill Clinton as either governor or president.
I’ve pretty much resigned myself to the fact that if Obama doesn’t get the nomination, I’ll stay home on election day.
