President 2012: Mike Huckabee Won’t Join Spring GOP Debates – But, Who Cares?

Mike Huckabee says he will not be attending GOP presidential debates this spring

I guess the Reagan Library can count Mike Huckabee out on May 2nd.

I don’t think Huck will be missed
as some of the up and coming candidates, including Mitt Romney, Mike Pence, Mitch Daniels and/or Sarah Palin will probably take advantage of the television time. Whoever needs the exposure will be at the Reagan Library.

Mike Huckabee isn’t about to let the fast-growing schedule of presidential debates dictate his plans.

The former Arkansas governor and possible candidate who’s been leading the GOP pack in early polls has already said he won’t decide on a run until the summer. That timeline, he said, means he won’t partake in the debates already scheduled for this spring.

“I don’t want to get suckered into taking on the schedule because it’s what the media wants us to do,” Huckabee said Friday during a talk at The King’s College in New York. The remarks were reported Sunday by The Christian Post.

POLITICO and NBC News are co-hosting a May 2 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in California. Fox News and the South Carolina GOP are planning a debate on May 5.

Easy for Mike Huckabee to say, since it is fairly obvious that he will not be running for the Presidency in 2012 anyway. The other Presidential players will be there before the summer doldrums/vacations arrive.
