What Is Huckabee Thinking?

Byron York has a column on Mike Huckabee's efforts in the coming weeks, which are focused primarily on Texas. The question is, now that it is mathmatically impossible for him to win, why is Huckabee sticking it out? My best guess is that right now, he trails Mitt Romney by 45 delegates, according to RCP estimates, and Huckabee wants to stay in long enough so he can claim the second place. Texas alone has 140 delegates that are allocated proportionally.
