Huckabee Assesses 2012 GOP Field; Careful to NOT Say Palin is Qualified – Video

Here is video of Gov. Mike Huckabee doing a “lightning round” with Chris Wallace on his opinion about other possible 2012 GOP Candidates:

Mitt Romney – Huckabee said, “No doubt in my mind that he’s running.” He hit Romney on the “RomneyCare” Health Care Law being the “blueprint” for ObamaCare. Huckabee said Romney has the GOP establishment behind him.

Sarah Palin – Listen carefully. Wallace asked Huckabee if Palin “has the experience,” “the knowledge” to be President. Huckabee carefully said: “She’s got the fire, the energy, and I think there are a lot of Republicans who love her, would support her, and she would be a very strong presence in a Presidential primary.” Notice he did NOT affirm that Palin has the “experience” or “knowledge” to be President.

Mitch Daniels – Says he is “a big fan” of Daniels, and believes he could be one of the GOP’s most “qualified” candidates – a great manager. Huckabee did say he thinks Daniels should not try to put social issues on the backburner, because those issues energize a large percentage “of the Republican base.”

Jeb Bush – Huckabee said, “I love Jeb Bush.” If Bush decided to run, Huckabee believes he could “rise to the very top because of his sheer brilliance and his ability to communicate.”

‘Huck have his pardon book with him?

PLEASE, NO MORE BUSH FAMILY! I like Mitch Daniels though.

“he did NOT affirm that Palin has the “experience” or “knowledge” to be President.”

Yet another slimy answer from Huckabee. Just like when asked about the violent criminals he released in Arkansas, he never gives a straight answer. I trust Sarah Palin. I don't trust Huckabee.

Huckabee = "Gomer Pyle".

Huckabee is fueled solely by ego; he is similar to obama, with much milder narcissisit tendencies, but an egotist nevertheless.

He thumps the Bible a lot, but I see some sneaky evil behind those eyes, and the inability to be 100% candid and truthful...like sidestepping questions that will not be favorable to him.

I'd rate him somewhere between Jimmy Carter and barack obama...without the socialism bent.

I also have the feeling that the msm thinks he's the weakest - or at least the potential "vote splitter" with all the attention that he's getting of late. The msm does NOT want Sarah Palin, so they'll try any end-run available to block her.

But in the end, neither Huckaby, Romney, nor the msm decides...the people do.

i hate to say this, but huckabee supporters give a bad name to christian conservatives. Any tax-raising pro-amnesty idiot who babbles something about Christ is blindly supported.

And a sleazy one at that.

I don’t know who I dislike more: Romney or Huckabee.

Both are the only way Obama could win.

Neither is a fiscal conservative. Both fake. Both stink of humbug.

[bandleader]

I couldn’t AGREE more!If Sarah doesn’t have the requisite”experience”to be POTUS,then what is the present”occupier”of The White House doing there?

[Jewbacca]

“Any tax-raising pro-amnesty idiot who babbles something about Christ is blindly supported.”

Yep.

Huckabee reminds me of the Shas party in Israel — Torah thumping corrupt government dole creeps.
