In an eight o'clock announcement on Fox News, Mike Huckabee announced that he will NOT be running for President in 2012.
Mr. Huckabee was one of the major contenders for the Republican nomination in 2008, garnering 282 delegates by the convention. The former governor of Arkansas, he now hosts a show on Fox News.
Huckabee discussed voters that will support him, how he believes that he will gain plenty of money fund-raising, and his prayer to Jesus Christ.
He also spoke of "clarity" and an "inner-peace." He stated: "I will not run for President."
She is running....just gotta listen to the “background chatter”.

Draft Sarah 2012 has been told to join Oranize for Palin

Indeed good news. Thanks 2DV.
I kinda thought when he pulled all his staff out of SC that was a clue. And, by the way, I think it’s quite a clue that Palin has zero staff (that I’m aware of) on the ground in OH or AZ, two rather important states. Dunno about SC or MO or FL, but it would certainly be a clue. Anyone who doesn’t have boots on the ground now-—at least in a preliminary way-—is going to be well behind.
The Huckster would have made a mess of the primaries.
VIDEO Huckabee: I Will Not Seek the Republican Nomination for President
In a heartfelt announcement moments ago, Mike Huckabee said that he would not be joining the race for 2012. After deep personal reflection over the past few months, he recently realized All the factors say go, but my heart says no.

It is never "too early" to say "I'm not running."
It can only be "too early" to announce a run for the White House. Every time Sarah repeats "It's too early," she's actually confirming to her base, "Keep the faith, our time is coming."
Palin already has the GOP nod sewn up. Watch and see.

Unlike Myth, Jon, Newt, Tim and Mitch, Gov. Sarah Palin doesn’t need to “build” an organization. She already has tens of millions of Americans that will jump at the chance to volunteer, donate, fundraise and do all the things needed to help her win. I myself will raise $2 million dollars for her campaign. Watch and see.
Trump seems to be the most electible yet.

C'mom, JohnD9207! I'm not a Huck fan either, but this is how FR operates.
Day in. Day out.
If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.
Do it!
How about this: why don't you post 10 state Palin organizations/hqs up here so people can get involved. Give us the names of state directors. These things don't "happen." The last campaign that "happened" was Lincoln's nomination in 1860, and he had perhaps the shrewdest campaign manager in history. Money is nice, but Phil Gramm had more money than anyone else in the race back in the 1990s and he couldn't get past the first debate. Steve Forbes has more money than Palin can ever raise, and can't get to first base. But keep the delusion up that you can somehow just "turn on" a campaign (I think Fred Thompson's people were told that) and see what happens.
Correction!:
the swarmy Worm didn’t do the right thing! He just couldn’t line up any support worthy of note! Huckleberry only cares about himself.........
But it is the Right Thing for America!
Liberal policies have aroused the private sector, economic issues will be at the forefront, and both the Drilla from Wasilla and the Godfather are strong there.
Nevertheless, it would be nice to see some evidence of Sarah's reconciliation of her family's pain if she runs vs. America's pain if she doesn't.
??
I think Trump is a Giuliani-type political shooting star already on the way down once people see what he’s really all about.
“Palin/West. Ticket made in heaven.”
That would work. In either spot. I want ruthlessly American people in this government or there will be no America. Soon.
Yep, if her doubters and detractors would bother to check her numerous support blogs and Facebook groups, then they would see it all coming together.
Sarah said that if she runs, then it would be an unconventional campaign, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. And so here it is, getting ready to go at the true grassroots level.
I don't know where you've been getting your information, but Todd and Track are pretty much ready to fight back after all the liberal attempts to destroy the Palin family. They are not shrinking violets, as you seem to suggest, but tough people who don't give up.
What I’m saying is Palin has shown real angst when it comes to her children, shrinking violets or not, becoming targets because of her political aspirations. She called out the “bully” lady to fight with her, for example, but to leave her children alone. She has not made it clear to me that she going to run. I thought she was, but now I not sure.
