When will the MSM pull the ball away from Mike Huckabee?

The mainstream media has been working feverishly to promote Mike Huckabee, as have various low-level Democrats. Are those completely unrelated, or is the MSM taking their marching orders from the Democratic Party? And, is The Huckster being promoted because:

1. They're simply reporting on what's happening...
2. They just need something to write about...
3. They're trying to give "them" an acceptable candidate...
4. They support him due to, for instance, his support for illegal immigration...
5. They're trying to hype him now and make him the nominee (or VP candidate), only to pull the ball away at the last moment and dash the GOP's hopes...

I'm sure there are other options as well. As for how Huck's downfall would come about, they could cover:

1. Huckabee is extremely weak on immigration matters. Oddly enough, while the MSM might mention this in passing, they haven't looked into it. Whether that's due to their support for illegal immigration or because they're holding this for later isn't known.
2. His support for nanny-state measures, due to his weight loss.
3. His strong religious conservatism. That might attract support from millions of people, but most Americans probably aren't quite that conservative.
4. His various scandals. While he has glib answers when they're brought up, I can practically see the last-minute headlines from sources like the Los Angeles Times digging up dirt.

Let me suggest getting the truth about Huck out there by, for instance, going to his campaign appearances, asking him this question, and then uploading his response.
