Strange - not sure why yes just show up so drastically - considering Huckabee has confirmed he will remain in the race - ie. lower his likely hood of becoming the Vice President...

I think a lot of people think he really isn't staying in to become the president more that he can give himself a name and a reputation and convince people that he will make a good running mate. But really I have no clue if he will get it anymore.... I really thought he would. Its just too up in the air.
And its kinda funny that this bet has over 14,000 on it and been up for sometime now and has been right at 50/50 give or take a few percentage points.

Does "announced at the convention" mean that it is settled as no in the event that it is announced prior to that? "Announced" connotes the first disclosure, no.

The market asks if it will be announced at the convention. So it being announced at any other point would be a "no."
