Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a 2008 GOP presidential candidate turned media personality, is looking at another bid for the presidency, this time backed by ministers eager to put an evangelical into the White House.
Huckabee will test the waters when he returns home to Little Rock, Ark., December 12-13 to address the Arkansas Renewal Project, part of evangelical organizer David Lane's American Renewal Project. Huckabee had the support of pastors in his 2008 fight against eventual winner Sen. John McCain.
Among the potential candidates looking at a GOP bid, Huckabee is closest to the pastors. He is a social conservative who can quote the Bible as easy as former President Bill Clinton.
According to reports, pastors from Iowa and South Carolina two key political states early in the GOP primary season are meeting with Huckabee during the convention to urge him to run....
Huck you maybe a fine person, please please do NOT run for president.
Go away. You already tired, you do not have a constituency big enough for anything. Pure ego now.
His effort to take down Rush Limbaugh doesn’t exactly endear him to conservatives.
No way.
I can't stand him. I will not vote for him for president, and I won't vote for the Republican ticket if he is the VP nominee.
The GOP is dead.
Between his rabid catering to illegals when he was governor, and his propensity to liberally commute sentences of questionable criminals just on the basis they claim to have found Jesus, I’ve never really had any serious consideration for Huckabee.
Not that I “hate” him or anything. Just don’t particularly trust him or his brand of leadership, thanks to that bleeding-heart side of him.
Huckabee is a hypocritical fake.
He is a snakeoil salesman.
Groooooaaaannn!
That’s what marketers might call “a really unfortunate” family photo.
He was on Fox&Friends on Friday and claiming that many on the religious right were ‘begging’ him to run.
Will not vote for Huckabee, even if he is the Republican nominee.
Same goes for Jeb, Crispy Creme, Rubio, Ryan, or any other Establishment squish.
what pastors??? you mean like Rick Warren and all the other lefties out there. Huckabee should either stay put or just plain go away.
I agree with that. I enjoy his program on FNC on Saturday evening
I don’t understand these people who run for President who have zero chance of getting elected. Do they not have more productive things to do in life??
Yet Freepers continue to insist that this woman is the inevitable 45th President...
Or she drank the head or the tail. 'Course, Hillary can probably handle that just fine.
Is he joking? Please Nooooooooo!
This shot could almost go in the Bad Christmas Family Photos album.
