McCain Asks Huckabee To Quit Race, Nicely

John McCain

    Not so long ago Republican Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee was asked by Tim Russert,  if anyone had asked him to quit his campaign for President, and Huckabee stated that no one had.  They have now, as John McCain asked him Wednesday to quit.  Now that someone has asked will Huckabee step down?

Earlier today, McCain said that he’d like Huckabee to end his candidacy, but that he also respects the former Arkansas governor’s right to continue his campaign. Davis remarked that the sooner Huckabee quits, the better it would be for McCain and the GOP — but he noted that Huckabee remaining in the race does have its benefits. “He creates a narrative that allows us to go out and compete.” Also: “Winning is a good thing.” And Davis said that Huckabee in the GOP race draws media attention away from the Clinton-Obama contest.
