Former Arkansas Governor turned Fox News host (and now Florida resident) Mike Huckabee says he won't run for President in 2012. Well, he won't if former Florida Governor Jeb Bush decides to run. Huckebee came out of national obscurity to place second in the 2008 Republican Primary, and is widely expected to make a bid again in 2012. Which he probably will considering Jeb Bush has denied time and time again that he'll ever run for President.
"Having gone through the process before and knowing just what it entails, it's not a decision I'll make lightly," Huckabee tells The National Journal. "If I did run, I do think I would have very significant strength going into it. The real question for me is, do I get through the nomination process?"
Other familiar names are also expected to mount a bid in 2012 as well, including Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. Though, only one person would keep Huckabee out of the race altogether, and that's Jeb.
"I love Jeb, I think he's brilliant," Huckabee says. "He could certainly raise the money, and I think he'd clear the deck."

Like either on has a chance.
No, and no.
God, forbid either runs. Amen!
Congratulations! This is the first decent article you've posted since I've followed FR. Keep up the good work!
John Ellis is for Romney, isn’t he? Maybe Huckabee has not yet been so informed.
u guys r funny
Oh God - Huckabee lives in FL now? The state is a magnet for RINOs like TX.
For cripes sake—no more Bush! Two has been plenty...
Say what? Huck is afraid of Jeb, but not Sarah?
LOL. Now I know for a fact that he’s a moron.
whats that saying about being fooled twice and looking out to be fooled the third time
Not a strong history of anyone running for President and not winning ever being nominated again. As for Jeb Bush, I don’t think the country is ready for another Bush in the White House.
If Jeb runs we’ll have a VIVA MEXICO Republican...I guess that will lend diversity to the primaries.
Nooooooooo!
I can't believe you posted this Pissant. It is an interesting article. Thanks
I am not for another Bush
But if another Bush was voted in,
The liberals would go hermitile!
Just further proof that the Huckster is part of the Good Ol’ boy GOP network of RINOS and Elitists.
