He comes across to me as trying just a bit too hard and it translates as phoniness.
If he does run, the mountain we have to climb to defeat a sitting President gets taller and more rugged. Don’t do it Mike. Find someone who can win and get behind him/her.
This is what Palin was waiting for. She did not want to get in until Huckabee committed one way or another. She can beat him, but Palin wanted him to blink first.
Now the field is much clearer for her.
Best,
