President 2012: Mike Huckabee a Go for Presidential Run?
Republican presidential candidates, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee (R) and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, spar over the issue of tax cuts while they were governors during the Fox News Presidential Forum at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire January 6, 2008
Can a man leading most GOP presidential polls turn a 2012 run down in favor of a weekend TV show, a mortgage, and motivational speeches?
That’s the question confronting Mike Huckabee, the one-time minister turned three-term Arkansas governor and 2008 presidential candidate turned Fox News host.
While other prospective candidates have been hard at work building their campaign machine, Huckabee has been biding his time, a reluctant candidate who keeps surging in the polls.
Despite his easygoing—some might say indifferent—approach to the campaign ahead, Gallup polls show that Huckabee enjoys the most intense support in all the GOP field.
But, with Ed Rollins saying he is a likely go, I would say that all we need as a bat signal for his candidacy is for Chuck Norris to resurface.
Just as a side note – HuckPAC has been sending me fundraiisng e-mails non-stop for the past few months, whereas Romney and the others have not. Remember I am in California which might be in play with its large number of GOP delegates, late in a GOP primary election contest.
On to Iowa……
