He's gonna make a run at it. He was really only a victory or two away from the conservatives rallying behind him, and Romney split his vote badly in the South as soon as he decided to go with the right-wing, God/Reagan-loving edge.
You know, he would've won SC in the primary if Romney wasn't around.
It works both ways.
Romney would have won a lot of states if it wasn't for Huckabee, including Iowa, which would have really given Romney momentum going into New Hampshire.
Keep in mind, Romney had a lot more delegates than Huckabee did before Romney dropped out. If anything, Huckabee took votes away from Romney. I don't think you can say Romney took votes away from Huckabee when Romney was beating Huckabee.
