Mike Huckabee Won't Run for President ...if Jeb Bush Runs
Miami New Times ^ | 12/14/10 | Kyle Munzenreider

Posted on 12/14/2010 8:33:09 PM PST by pissant

Former Arkansas Governor turned Fox News host (and now Florida resident) Mike Huckabee says he won't run for President in 2012. Well, he won't if former Florida Governor Jeb Bush decides to run. Huckebee came out of national obscurity to place second in the 2008 Republican Primary, and is widely expected to make a bid again in 2012. Which he probably will considering Jeb Bush has denied time and time again that he'll ever run for President.

"Having gone through the process before and knowing just what it entails, it's not a decision I'll make lightly," Huckabee tells The National Journal. "If I did run, I do think I would have very significant strength going into it. The real question for me is, do I get through the nomination process?"

Other familiar names are also expected to mount a bid in 2012 as well, including Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. Though, only one person would keep Huckabee out of the race altogether, and that's Jeb.

"I love Jeb, I think he's brilliant," Huckabee says. "He could certainly raise the money, and I think he'd clear the deck."

So far, that is the only good reason I've come across to support a Jeb run.

John Ellis is for Romney, isn’t he? Maybe Huckabee has not yet been so informed.

Oh God - Huckabee lives in FL now? The state is a magnet for RINOs like TX.

Say what? Huck is afraid of Jeb, but not Sarah?

LOL. Now I know for a fact that he’s a moron.

Not a strong history of anyone running for President and not winning ever being nominated again. As for Jeb Bush, I don’t think the country is ready for another Bush in the White House.

If Jeb runs we’ll have a VIVA MEXICO Republican...I guess that will lend diversity to the primaries.

Jeez. This is like choosing between poisoning myself to death or shooting myself in the skull. I guess I will have to say stay out Bush. I can't hack another Thousand Points Of Light/Compassionate Conservative Progressive Blue Blood.

I can't believe you posted this Pissant. It is an interesting article. Thanks

Just further proof that the Huckster is part of the Good Ol’ boy GOP network of RINOS and Elitists.
