There is one small but influential group of GOP political insiders who are praying for Mike Huckabee to continue his increasingly Quixotic campaign for the Republican nomination: voter mail and list consultants. Huckabee is doing a great job of showing state-by-state exactly where the evangelical voters are and are not, right down to the local precinct level. This is useful data in future races, so the voter phone, mail, and database crowd is hoping the Huck keeps on going, enhancing one Republican primary voter file after the next. Huckabee's presidential effort may not make it past the convention, but on primary voter lists, geo-targeting computer screens, and voter-contact-planning meetings, the "Huckabee precincts select" will live on long after his campaign is gone.
