Mike Huckabee on Tuesday said he has not been approached by John McCain about being the U.S. presidential candidate's running mate. But he'd certainly consider the offer.
Huckabee said he didn't think anyone who has run for the U.S. presidency would turn down a chance to be vice president. The former Arkansas governor dropped out of the presidential race last March after McCain clinched the Republican nomination.
Speaking to reporters in Jerusalem, Huckabee said he has received "no indication" that McCain is considering him as a running mate. But if asked, Huckabee said it would be hard to resist.
"I don't think anybody that runs for president turns around and says no," he said. Still, he said he did not consider himself a candidate, adding it would be "disrespectful" to suggest names.
McCain may name his running mate between the end of the Democratic convention on Aug. 28 and the start of the Republican convention on Sept. 1

Go Mitt
Dear Schmuckabee: Please STFU and go away.
Palin would be perfect.
Smart. Conservative. Young. We need to build a farm system.
Doesn’t hurt that she is a woman and attractive, but that is secondary.
I’ll also proudly accept the VP position and I will change my screen name if nominated.
I’ll take Mitt. He’s seen the error of his ways and changed.
Huck still doesn’t and never will get conservatism. He is a nice guy and would be a great pro-life Democrat who we could respect in the other party.
sorry, dano, I forgot the courtesy ping.
When you/they come back here for the Huck 2012 primary run, you can respond.
Good luck to you until then. I wish you well.
Someone needs to “gong” the Huskster off the stage...
His 15 minutes of fame are long over already and not a moment too soon..
It worries me that this collection of “candidates” are the best this Republic can round up in a time of crises....
Where have all the leaders gone?
Go away already, Mr. Yuckster.
Mitt is on H&C right now...says he will not advise McCain and would be honored to serve as VP. I’m cheering for Mitt and just by watching this interview I think it’s him. ;)
I do hope Obama taps this loser for VP.
Exactly. Except for the fact that they burn pro-life people at the stake in that party. They just pander to the proletariet about protecting the weak and helpless who have votes (welfare moms, unions and the "working class" forced to work at WalMart), but when it comes down to protecting the most helpless....the unborn children...
Who the Hell cares, they can't vote.
You meant it as a joke, but Huck would be perfect for Barack Fitzgerald Obama as a running mate.
I’m serious.
You didn’t reveal any state secrets there. ;-)
Now, now. Huckster has to get in line behind Slick Willard.
Yes. Like either Mark Sanford or Don Carcieri, two of some of the best Conservative Governors in the nation.
...to Pyongyang (and don’t come back, Slick !). :-)
HUCK HUCK !
I seriously doubt that Obama will offer Huck the VP slot.
LOL, I thought so too. ;-)
