Huckabee has won 181 delegates -- 533 less than McCain. To capture the Republican nomination, he would have to win more than 80 percent of the remaining contests.
OK, what states are left? Maryland and Virginia are said to be lining up for McCain, so let's see....
"I didn't major in math," Mr. Huckabee said in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference. "I majored in miracles, and I still believe in them, too."
I don't know whether I'd call a Huckabee victory a miracle, or just incredibly bad luck.
I think he may be becoming a protest vote against McCain.

Say the American people are trying to deadlock the race, as an expression that all the candidates suck. The 2nd place guy gets the votes, being the algorithm. The phenomenology being that the first place guy is disliked, so vote for the 2nd place guy.
Supppose that only candidates that provide soap-opera compatible stories have media legs.
Then a brokered convention bypasses the media, and the soap opera nomination process.
