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.”

I don’t believe Huck’s wife works, maybe even the kids live off his income...so if he needs a regular paycheck to keep up his Florida home, I suggest he keep his job at FOX, he sure won’t be President...
I can’t see people being impressed with his flip-flopping on the decision [especially since he made such a big deal about it].
That is what sunk Ross Perot.
I think that Palin supporters should be up-front with their suspicions that Huckster is doing the bidding of others.
