The negative attacks against John McCain will not come from Mike Huckabee, but from the Democratic nominee in the general election.  Huckabee is only staying in the race as a favor to McCain and the GOP, so McCain can continue to be front-page news as he racks up more primary victories. 

For instance, this week McCain shares the spotlight with Obama as they both swept the “Potomac” primaries.  Had Huckabee dropped out of the race, the nightly news would have only featured Obama’s victories over Hillary Clinton.  As long as Huckabee stays in the race, McCain continues to look good in the press and will continue his momentum until he finally clinches the nomination. 

Likewise, McCain will not attack Huckabee.  The negatives against Huckabee will only come out should McCain make him his running mate.  In that case, there would be plenty of ammo for the Democrats against Huckabee.
