Yeah, anything would be better than yet another story about how he’s staying in this race despite the odds:

But on Monday, Huckabee was asked if this was McCain’s “macaca” moment, referring to the infamous incident in which then-Senator George Allen, R-Va., referred to a Democratic operative in an otherwise supportive crowd by the offensive term.
“It’s something that could be like that,” Huckabee said, “Obviously, that one didn’t seem to make a big difference. In fact, if anything it’s helped John McCain and I’m kind of hoping the New York Times will take me on and run a nasty front page story — may be the best thing that could happen to me, certainly was to him.”

Huckabee has suggested recently that such a moment could be his ticket to the nomination.
“One word can end a guy’s political career, one word, and it’s over,” Huckabee elaborated. “So when people say I can’t be the nominee, until we get to the convention in Minneapolis this fall in September, we don’t know absolutely, positively who that nominee is.”
