Has Anybody Noticed?

Anybody notice that Mike Huckabee doesn't mess with John McCain? I mean, every other candidate out there snipes at each other in the debates and through various press releases and speeches. If they don't mention each other by name, they infer it in such a way as to leave no doubt as to whom they are referring. However, Huckabee NEVER goes after McCain...even if they disagree, Mike prefaces his response or statement with a two-minute tangent about how much he respects McCain and the like. He's defended Mac from Mitt Romney on several occasions as well. So I guess what I'm thinking is this...

Mike Huckabee is angling for the Vice President slot if McCain gets nominated.

Think about it. Huckabee had a big win in Iowa but ever since then it's been slow. After his defeat in South Carolina...a state that he was supposed to win big due to its large evangelical population...I'm thinking that he's basically come to grips with the fact that if he couldn't win there, he's not going to win anywhere else important. His campaign is running out of steam, and he's hoping that by not pissing McCain off in the same way that Mitt Romney and Rudy Guiliani have, he'll be able to take the VP slot at the convention.

Clever move, Mike. Clever move.
