Shoestring Campaign?

According to Reuters, Mike Huckabee is running one:

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won the Tennessee Republican primary on Tuesday, beating rivals John McCain and Mitt Romney in the conservative Southern state to keep alive his shoestring bid for the party's presidential nomination, U.S. media projected.

Well, what defines a shoestring campaign? Lack of resources? McCain's been almost broke for six months. Lack of ideas? McCain's pretty devoid of 'em -- check out his website.

So why is Huckabee considered the only candidate running a "shoestring bid?"

Amazing how the media frames things sometimes.
