President 2012: Mike Huckabee Wins York County, South Carolina GOP Straw Poll

Former Arkansas Gov. and potential GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee gestures as he addresses students at the business school at Mississippi College in Clinton, Miss., Monday, March 28, 2011

The straw poll was held at the York County Republican Party convention.

Mike Huckabee won a 2012 presidential straw poll conducted in a key South Carolina county Saturday.

The informal vote was the first of many upcoming straw polls taking place this month at grassroots GOP gatherings across South Carolina, one of the four crucial early voting states in the presidential nominating process.

Huckabee’s win Saturday occurred at the York County Republican Party convention. The former Arkansas governor won York County in the state’s 2008 presidential primary despite losing the overall contest to Sen. John McCain. York encompasses parts of the Charlotte, North Carolina suburbs and is one of the most populous counties in South Carolina.

Huckabee, who has shown no signs of mounting a repeat presidential bid in the state, nevertheless won the vote with 23 percent of the 152 ballots cast, local GOP officials told CNN. He was followed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who captured 11 percent of the vote. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann finished third with 10 percent.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney netted 8 percent to finish fourth. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and reality television star Donald Trump tied for fifth, with 7 percent.

A big Uh Oh for Mitt Romney who finished fourth.

Does anyone think that Mike Huckabee just MAY be considering a run for the Presidency now?
