Amazed how lucky I am that I have had jobs where I could just think about whatever I wanted to think about. This summer I will be moving to the University of Maryland. Previously I held positions at the University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford, UCLA, Wharton, and Rice and was the chief economist at the United States Sentencing Commission during 1988 and 1989. I have published over 90 articles in academic journals. I received my Ph.D. in economics from UCLA in 1984.

If it turns out to be true, then it's plausible that he thinks McCain will not win the Presidency.
Dear Rail:
I don't see how that follows. I don't think that McCain was going to ask him to be the VP. Huckabee can win a Senate race and stay active in politics, so that seems like an attractive option.
I say look for McCain to pick Joe Lieberman to be his VP.
That ought to really piss off conservatives.
I hate to say it but I predict if the Republican Party don't get it together, they will lose again in 08.
Dear Davy:
Thanks, but I would guess that McCain will pick someone who conservatives can be happy with. It will be interesting to see who is correct. Yet, given McCain's age, this pick will be more important than most.
John, I happen to think McCain will ask Huckabee to be his running mate. If Huckabee suspects there's even a chance of this, in order to remain in politics, it's to his advantage to run for an office he can easily win. Lieberman did the same thing in 2000, running for re-election to his Senate seat while simultaneously being Gore's running mate.
