Wall Street and the business community will see to it that he is not the nominee. Maybe he'll be made VP in the hope of continuing to get those Religious Right votes.

He just appeals mostly to the evangelical wing of the party. The fiscal conservative Grover Norquist wing would never allow it, which is why he's being trashed by el Rushbo, Bob Novak, and ignored by the big GOP donors, who don't want a true compassionate conservative in the WH. Why do you think he's raised so little money? Huckabee won’t be nominated. He just appeals mostly to the evangelical wing of the party.

But I guess not. Huckabee, if nominated, will lose in a rout so bad that it will probably give the Democrats 60 seats in the senate. That is one of the reasons that the MSM is so excited about his current successes.
