Bad News: Huckabee Says No Truth to Rumor He Won’t Run for President…

Great.

(The Hill) — Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s camp is refuting a South Carolina blogger who suggested Wednesday that Huckabee told consultants in the state he wouldn’t run for president next year.

Speculation Huckabee was opting out of a 2012 bid spread after Red State’s Erick Erickson tweeted a link to the blog post, along with the declaration, “Mike Huckabee is out. He won’t be running for president.”

HuckPAC Executive Director Hogan Gidley dismissed it as “unfounded speculation” in a statement, insisting that no final decision has been made.

“National polling consistently shows Governor Huckabee is the frontrunner — so we expect a certain amount of unfounded speculation, odd rumors, and sadly, the occasional lie lobbed our way,” Gidley said. “But the Governor himself has been quite clear on this matter. He has truthfully and repeatedly stated that he is seriously considering a run for President but he won’t make that decision until this summer — and that has not changed.”

    I’m going out on a limb here; but I take it Huckabee wouldn’t win a straw poll here.

    I’m concerned Huckabee or some other RINO gets the nomination and Trump runs as a third-party. We all know what happens then.

    His records as governor mysteriously disappeared.. of course he will run now. It’s up to the tea party folk to primary out Huckabee and every RINO..

    Dear Mr Huckabee;
    If you are struggling to make the decision to throw you hat in the ring, would you please allow an opinion from an American Voter? Don”t do it. you haven’t got a chance in hell of getting the republican nomination. I dont care what your internal polls are telling you or these stupid ass straw polls. You are not what we want, more of the same smiley face platitudes. You dont”t have the spine of an Allen West the passion of a Marco Rubio the smarts of a Paul Ryan or the boldness of a John Bolten. You see this time around we are looking for a leader with balls not someone who resorts to facebook to bitch out another man because he doesnt like what the other man said about him. We want a man who is willing to do it the old fashion way you now face to face man to man.

    Cain/West 2012, t1me for a real change !!!

    we are tired of the Union Rino’s who think they have their time in, so they should be allowed run, run for the border and go help another country .

  23. Rose says:

    If this RINO runs and takes the nomination—-it is over for the US because we are guarenteed 4 more of the Bamster. The Bamster gang WANTS him to be the nominee —-they know more about him than we do—–and what we know is awful enough.
