Trust, it'll be blamed on his populist angle when he loses.
The Republican elite will try to spin it that way, no doubt, but the problem is, if they do, the Republican base WILL reject it, because when it comes to the issues that count with those folks (guns, God and gays), Huck is the MOST "real" Republican of any of 'em.
I don't know though, they say Palin and Huckabee have the same base, so why's Palin losing popularity?
Palin's gender alone always made her a bitter pill for the Dominionists to swallow, even though she espoused their message, because while they could accept her in the short term as a possible means of pitting white women against black men in '08, now that they've had some time to think about it, they've realized HOLY SHIT WE ALMOST PROMOTED A WOMAN TO THE PRESIDENCY, and especially when you have an equally conservative candidate like Huck, why risk THAT?

So true. They may have liked her, but deep down, (and sometimes not so deep down), they think she should be at home tending the offspring, making more.
Palin seems to prefer winging it, which is exactly what you want to do when you're going for a populistic Hail Mary short-term campaign of desperation, but running without a plan can backfire in incredible and painful ways, and it really only works to your advantage while the spotlight is on you
