Blitzer asked Republican candidate Mike Huckabee, who trails John McCain by an insurmountable margin of pledged delegates, if his strategy at this point is simply to prevent McCain from getting the delegate majority he needs to become the official nominee. Doing so would force the party to chose the nominee at this summer’s convention and could theoretically give Huckabee a second shot at winning the nomination.

Huckabee’s answer: “Wolf, we’re not smart enough to think that far down the road.” Now that sounds like a page out of the Iraq war playbook.
