The insiders in his campaign have been saying Mike is shooting for the last tour of the Rolling Stones and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame instead!

And he doesn’t really make sense as a VP choice. None of the potential nominees have any foreign policy/natl security/military exp so they’ll need someone who does.
Like W taking Cheney, Obama taking Biden, Clinton taking Gore, Reagan taking Bush, etc...
McCain could take Palin because he already checked off those boxes. Same with Bush taking Quayle, Kerry taking Edwards, Dole taking Kemp, etc...
But Huck doesn’t have any and he won’t help Romney, Daniels, Gingrich, Pawlenty, Cain, Bachmann, Palin, Trump, etc...
Also, he would help among evangelicals and in the South but if we need help with those groups against Obama in 2012 then things are already too far gone.
Maybe he’s angling to play bass at the inaugural.

Mike Huckabee, making every vote count. He voted “NO.”

I knew he was not running when he said he would announce on his Fox show. That would have amounted to free campaign air time if wh had announced he was running.

OK then, Huckamneylenty becomes Romdanielenty.

Not that I'm above it all or anything like that but, I'm a strong believer in God and the Bible. God directs and installs leaders of nations. Huckabee has been 'pushed' aside not because he thought of it but because the Lord put it on his heart to not run. The field will be cleared for only those whose hearts are sincere. Huckebee was not it.

Lol, who are those people?

Running as a Democrat means HE HAS NO CONTENDERS ~ just Obama!
I don't think Obama wants to have to address Trump's issues ~ consequently he won't have an open campaign.
There's a good chance we could have Trump winning the Democrat nomination.
Could be why your major Republicans are probably not all going to run in 2012. We might even run Arizona II ~ Ron Paul!
Given a choice between an old time anti-semite or a successful casino operator who you gonna' vote for?

Maybe he’s angling to play bass at the inaugural. I've often wondered what caliber a bass player he is. Don't know enough about it to evaluate.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he changes his mind down the road.

Huckebee was not it. Obama? McCain? Clinton? Sorry, it is avarice in their hearts, not God, that causes the vast majority to run.

To: ozarkgirl
When I read Mark Halperin's speculation yesterday in the Slimes that Mike Huckabee will make his announcement that he was going to run. I knew the opposite was going to be true.
If anyone had paid attention then thy would have gotten his message that the only place you would hear of his decision wold be on his show
