Huckabee Out For 2012
Mike Huckabee announced tonight on his Fox show that he’s not running for president in 2012.
At the very end of his eponymous Fox News show, Huckabee said that, despite all the “signs and signals” pointing him toward a run, he decided this week not to launch a campaign.
“All the factors say ‘go,’ but my heart says ‘no’ and that’s the decision I’ve made,” Huckabee said. “And in it, I’ve finally found some resolution.”
…
“Under the best of circumstances, being president is a job that takes one to the limit of his or her human capacity. For me, to do it apart from the inner confidence that I was undertaking it with God’s full blessing is simply unthinkable,” he said.
Huckabee knows he can’t win, plus he’s perfectly happy making money from his Fox show. Running for president would cut into that revenue stream.
What does this mean for the 2012 GOP race? I see Pawlenty as the big winner here. Romney has been savaged from his own side for his health care speech. That leaves Pawlenty as the establishment favorite, though he’s probably sweating bullets ath the prospect of Mitch Daniels possibly entering the race.

I thought the headline meant that he was trying to one up Pawlenty
Ron Paul is officially in.
God told him to stick to FOX’s filthy lucre. God likes greed. That’s why he is a Republican.
The De GOP is out another year like Huckabee. The goofy email from the De GOP and Sig Heil tells me I haave to be selected to be on any committee as a volunteer. More mind control from those who have no mind or future.
I wonder who Republican David is going to support now since he was the “head” of HuckPAC in DE.
I guess Rick Santorum is the next most religious candidate. By “religious” I mean in the Republican sense of the word to mean fixated on homosexuality.
Poor Ricky. Dan Savage REALLY savaged him tying him to the “frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex,”.
I think he needs to put this behind him and get ahead of the curve.
I’d like him to allow me to put his name on a product I’ve developed in my basement of solitude.
I call it, or want to: SANTORUM’S SAFE-SEX LUBRICANT
It contains both anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.
The other ingredients are of proprietary interest.
I hope to approach him soon in a nearby venue.
Does anyone know where he’ll be?
I assume HuckPAC will stay around. I’m sure working for a losing candidate from 2008 is not as prestigious as working for the assumed frontrunner for nomination in 2012. Huckabee’s endorsement will be really important now, however.
Really? I think the Republicans are kinda over being the party of “family values.” I think all that family values talk from the 1990’s made everyone feel kinda bad about getting blow jobs in airport bathrooms and having patriot sex with lobbyists.
Good riddance to this lazy-eyed huckster. He just has the stink of Arkansas snake oil all up and down his greazy chubby litle bible-thumping mitts. (No offense to Mr. Boston Blow-Dry).
Leave big government to Democrats and leave any big gubmint Republican in a Razorback landfill.
It WILL be Bachmann… anyone who can pull a tenth grader out of the woodwork to argue against her… talks at the level an average Republican can understand.
The average Republican, who has a 6th grade education, will actually think Michelle is smart… Watch David’s actions these next few weeks for verification… 🙂
