Election 2008

Hucka-seeya!

Former Arkansas Governor, Mike Huckabee finally dropped out of the presidential race Tuesday night, conceding the nomination to John McCain, who had already started ordering his "2008 Republican Nominee" business cards and stationery over a month ago. The squirrel-devouring, bass-playing Baptist minister famously said he "majored in miracles," but it seems he was never good enough at it to "make the honor roll" when he needed one the most. With Huckmentum officially over, we take a look back at the year-long journey we've shared with the folksy redneck creationist.
