The end of Mike Huckabee

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 19, 2008 09:35 PM

Liveblogging…

He’s taking the stage at his Columbia HQ. Huckabee says he just called McCain to congratulate him and thank him for a “civil,” “decent” campaign.

Huckabee slyly attacks Romney by praising himself and McCain for campaigning with “honor” instead of attacking someone else.

Oookay. The sanctimony is oozing like a popped zit. Ick.

The guys at Hot Air are on my same wavelength.

Huck tries to encourage his troops to feel “sheer joy.” Unconvincingly.

Maybe I heard it wrong, but I think he just referred to his campaign in the past tense: “What we had…”

Pep talk: “We didn’t lose tonight. The game ended a little early tonight. The path to the White House is not ending here tonight. We’re resetting the clock…I still believe a year from now…all of you will be in Washington for my inauguration…We’ve got a lot of miles ahead of us…”

Unconvincing. He’s trying to mask his disappointment. It’s not working.

    If all Fred Thompson manages to do in his campaign is sink Mike Huckabee, it will all have been worth it.

    Schmuckabee is and will always be a 100%, Grade A, total Fraud.

    Huckabee is about as much a Conservative Rebublican, as I am a an Alien that wrote the Scientology express here with Zenu (Or who ever that freaking Alien is they claimed seeded the planet)
