Can Huckabee win the nomination?

[Mister Falcon]

I'm intrigued by his comments on Meet the Press - he said that he doesn't want to be VP. I assumed all along that that why he was staying in the race.

So what is he running for? Mathematically, isn't it virtually impossible for him to win?

Does he have a shot?

It's basically McCain vs. Huckabee, Romeny, and Paul.

As it stands:

McCain 714 delegates

Huckabee/friends ~525 delegates

It's not over yet. A brokered convention is still possible.

It's very telling that Romney hasn't endorsed McCain. You're supposed to get behind the party's candidate in short order.

Even if Huckabee pulls a political miracle and wins Romney's endorsement the delegates pledged to Romney are not legally required to vote at the convention for any person he has endorsed. At this point, Romney's delegates are all basically free agents.
