Huckabee looks again at Republican presidential bid
Reuters ^ | 09/30/2011 | Kim Dixon

Mike Huckabee has been approached by Republican and conservative activists unhappy with the current crop of presidential hopefuls and he is considering entering the fray, two sources who have spoken with Huckabee told Reuters.

The former Arkansas governor, who made a splash by winning the Iowa caucuses as a candidate in 2008, announced last May on his Fox News show that he would not enter the race.

But the conservative Huckabee, who appeals to evangelical Christians and is seen as an effective campaigner, is taking another look at jumping in, said the two sources, who are close to Huckabee. They spoke to Reuters on the condition of anonymity.

"He is entertaining the request for conversations about it," one of the sources said. "I do not think it is a complete 100 percent 'I'm reconsidering' but he hasn't shut the door on it."

When I wrote about Howard Baker, it was a tongue in cheek, sarcastic comment that was in the context of the pubs trying to round up another presiential candidate because they were not satified with the current group. Since they are asking RINO Christie to run(now he said he isn’t) I thought we should go way back and look for even more obscure old RINO’s like Baker, to ask to run. I put a sarc tag at the end of the post but some people didn’t see that. They thought I was serious.

That’s funny.

It doesn’t take much for folks to jump onto a “I am more conservative than thou” bandwagon here!
