Mike Huckabee has been approached by Republican and conservative activists unhappy with the current crop of presidential hopefuls and he is considering entering the fray, two sources who have spoken with Huckabee told Reuters.
The former Arkansas governor, who made a splash by winning the Iowa caucuses as a candidate in 2008, announced last May on his Fox News show that he would not enter the race.
But the conservative Huckabee, who appeals to evangelical Christians and is seen as an effective campaigner, is taking another look at jumping in, said the two sources, who are close to Huckabee. They spoke to Reuters on the condition of anonymity.
"He is entertaining the request for conversations about it," one of the sources said. "I do not think it is a complete 100 percent 'I'm reconsidering' but he hasn't shut the door on it."

Avoirdupois is the new gravitas.
This is starting to look like a free train ride to a carnival. ;-)

Will there be cotton candy? :9
imho it’s all about keeping palin out. if she announced a couple weeks ago she wasn’t running none of these guys would be re emerging and the field would be declared set.
The shadow government has us where it wants us right now and they’ll turn to anyone who they can manipulate. I think Herman Cain is not only Obama’s worse nightmare but also that of the shadow government! We don’t want no stinkin’ one world government......especially evil Communism or fascism!
"This is getting ridiculous!"
Porky cannot stand to think that a Tea Party conservative candidate might get the nomination.
Game Over..haha
Or heaven forbid, Ted Baxter.
Not sure, but lots of clowns.
TAKE A HIKE MIKE.
I’m thinking that those that have picked Romney to be our candidate, are scared to death that we won’t vote for him. LOL
Well it is Friday afterall.
I think that Dole could run, but only for 4 hours at a time and then he must call in the doctor.
What America needs, is to release more violent criminals from prison! /s/
A 2007 FR thread: Video of Huckabee Calling for Scholarships and In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens (2005)
Well, if we are getting so desparate as to support a Corporate leftist idiot pushing a consumption tax, I guess Gomer is right.
That may be the worst of Huckabee.
Somebody’s got to start backing somebody. If Palin ever decides to quit playing her cute little games and either run or back someone, it could push somebody way out in front. That would put an end to all this crap. Of course then the attention would be away from Palin and that wouldnt be good for her.
But, but, but Bob Dole and Dan Quayle haven't announced yet........
