The Post story today on Huckabee’s staying in the race has this choice morsel:

Huckabee’s refusal to bow to the pressure of almost hourly McCain endorsements has made him the target of some in the GOP, who fear that an ongoing string of embarrassing defeats for the senator could hurt fundraising and delay efforts to refocus the battle on the Democrats.

Is it Huckabee’s fault that the party’s almost-certain nominee can’t get a majority of Republican primary voters to support him? The party apparat can’t just wish away the buyers’ remorse over Bush and the deep ambivalence over what would amount to a third Bush term.
