Asa said publicly that it would be hard for him to say no to the White House if Bush asked him to run, so this article appears to have credibility to it

At this point, I think he is a better candidate than Huckabee.

I guess that means we have to make him an offer he can't refuse! In all seriousness, though, I see him as being a stronger candidate than Huckabee. The reverse was probably true as little as eight months ago, but with the budget issues and a school district consolidation plan that many conservatives have voiced frustration over, it will be hard for him to have a secure base, much less beat Lincoln, who has worked hard to build a non-controversial record in the senate.
