I wonder if another candidate will jump in if this is true...

[dfwgator]

I still think the eventual nominee isn’t even on the radar screen yet. IMHO it will be a currently sitting Republican governor.

Good.
Mitt, Chris and Newt, please follow.

[cpray]

this is the best news i have heard in a while. he has always given me the creeps. this is good news for the gop indeed.

[Spok]

Maurice Clemmons fifth victim?

[manc]

please no Huckabee.

Shame Sarah will be attacked as well as Michelle Bachmann off this corrupt media which leaves Christie.
Demint will never get the corrupt media attention either.

So what we have is Newt , Romney, Pawlenty etc

I’m sure the GOP likes losing

[Keith in Iowa]

The “insiders” from Huck’s last Iowa go at it have already moved on to other pastures - so I’ll give this story a bit of credence.

[A. Morgan]

LOL HuckaPHONY’s OUT! LOL LOL

[redgolum]

Makes me wonder what they know. I suspect there is something in the works.

[Jonty30]

I think Huckebee’s and Barbour’s decision reflects the belief that America is going to be a disaster state by 2016 and they didn’t want to be the ones trying to fix the mess.

While this may be interpreted as good news, FReepers don’t need to do their happy dance yet. If the Huckster is not running for President, I’d bet dollars to donuts that he’ll be politicking twice as hard to attach himself to the GOP front runner as a VP candidate. I just can’t see him permanently hanging up his candidate boots. If he can’t get to his goal directly, he’ll try to sneak in the back door, like he did to become governor.

[TomGuy]

Good news, if true.

Huckabee out.

Barbour out.

Now if another half-dozen or so of the retreads and RINO-types follow, it could turn into a real contest next year.

[Popman]

Personally, I think the best and the brightest conservatives would not even contemplate running considering they would need to deal with, if they win, people like Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Durbin, and a host of other utter and complete morons and idiots in Congress.

Look what they did to Bush and he with some major faults, but was a good and decent man and a president who took his job very seriously, someone who we could be proud of.

He Had the best interest of ALL his countryman. He was president first and foremost

I'm half surprised he didn't have some of most disgusting detractors jailed

I know I would have

[Vendome]

Darn! /s

[GOP Poet]

Good. I think his strengths lay elsewhere.

[xzins]

Huckabee doesn’t excite me. Seems like a nice guy.

I’d far rather have him making decisions than BHO, but that’s not the point.

[Leep]

I would like a real choice and not trying to pick between the lesser of two or three RINOS..thank you.

[campaignPete R-CT]

you’s guys being awful quiet on BC day. Wonder what the new game will be around here now that we are no longer in BC time, but have moved to AD (after disclosure).

Maybe peeples will get interested in IOWA. (Or SC.) Or something to do with ‘12.

[newzjunkey]

This would be great news. No Hucksters!
