Huckabee says he could change mind on presidential bid

LITTLE ROCK — Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee foresees a “broke and battered” nominee emerging from the 2012 Republican presidential sweepstakes but says his recent exit from the race is not etched in stone.

Appearing today as a guest of the Clinton School of Public Service, the surprise 2008 GOP presidential contender said he did not entirely rule out running next year when he announced last month he had decided against throwing his hat into the ring. Running as a vice presidential candidate next year or for president in 2016 also are not out of the question, he said.

“Everything is still open. I haven’t closed doors, because I found long ago that that’s not a smart thing to do,” the Fox television talk show host and syndicated radio voice told reporters after a speech at the Clinton presidential library.

Huckabee said he is “not even thinking about changing my mind right now,” but he added, “Don’t rule anything out for the future.”

At least he's consistently inconsistent.

Sometimes it feels like this process of choosing a presidential candidate is like picking parts off old cars in a junkyard.

His gig as a bass player with the Rolling Stones’ last tour is in question due to the feud between the Glimmer Twins over the size of Mick’s weiner.

Hey why not? Make it interesting. The MSM are all for it. Would he win? Will he provide excitement? Or will he be what he is, another Blaaaah Candidate. Sorry his appeal is nil, the most energetic Huckabee supporters are members of the MSM.

Huckabee said he is “not even thinking about changing my mind right now,” but he added, “Don’t rule anything out for the future.”

In other words: “If I think I’m being forgotten and not asked to comment on every little thing I will decide to run”.
