Huckabee still sounds like he’s still hoping McCain may be rejected by the party:

“There are some serious questions whether Sen. McCain will be able to spend any money between now and the convention,” Huckabee said. “He will basically sit at home between now and September and not be able to spend a dime. And maybe the party will be wishing for a candidate without those restrictions, a candidate who can campaign full-time.”
While some Huckabee supporters were hoping that he might get a vice presidential nod this year, Huckabee says they should forget it. “We have been given every signal that is not going to be considered,” Huckabee said.
In fact, Huckabee has not been guaranteed even what losing candidates are often guaranteed: a speech at the party’s convention. “It would be amazing if I was disinvited there,” Huckabee said. “If this were the NCAA and the Final Four — two Democrats, two Republicans — I would be in it.”

Um…what does Huckabee think the party can do before the convention? If Republicans wanted a different candidate that had money and could spend it, we couldn’t do anything about it until the convention and then after that its moot.
I’m not surprised that Huckabee hasn’t been considered for the ticket, I think he would try to hog the spotlight for himself and would probably remind voters why he was the better candidate.
