Looks like all that talk about not being overly interested in a 2012 run (”I like my job at Fox”) is just so much BS.
He wants to be prez and he wants to spin away his clemency problem.
What was it, Mike, over a 1000 criminals set free?
You can’t set free 1000 criminals without having a few back-fires.
Making omelets... breaking eggs... is that what you’re saying?
You’re absolutely correct. The only thing that I bought from Huck in his Fox News Sunday interview is his need to reach out to the GOP establishment and the Beltway for him to win the nomination.
With Clemmons, I think the point everyone is missing is that not necessarily he is going to lose a huge amount of his base of support among evangelicals but that the GOP establishment will never embrace him now, even if Romney falters. Before Clemmons there was a slight chance that might have happened.
Instead the GOP establishment will now be holding “American idol auditions” for a dark horse to put in the bullpen as a contingency plan in case Romney cannot pick his favorables with Republicans and conservatives over time.
This is the primary reason I think Huck will not run in 2012.
Remember how Rudi was the annoited front runner in 2008 while McCain lived in New Hampshire?
