No 2012 presidential run for Mike Huckabee
Former Arkansas governor, current Fox News star, fundamentalist preacher, "Christian Zionist," anti-gay bigot, Obama-conspiracy-theory spinner, single-mother hater, and Chuck Norris Republican Mike Huckabee announced this evening that he will not -- repeat: NOT! -- be running for president in 2012.
His heart just isn't into it. Or so he says.
He could perhaps have been a formidable candidate in an embarrassingly weak Republican field, and he certainly could have challenged for right-wing social conservative support against Newt Gingrich and (relatively) more moderate figures like Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty, but at the same time he may not have enough anti-government, anti-tax cred to appeal to the Tea Party.
His heart may or may not be into it, but I suspect he took a look at his chances and found them wanting.
Which means he can stay at Fox, rake in the money, prepare for the Rapture, and do shit like this.

Honestly, Michael, I'm shocked. He's one of only two substantive Republican hopefuls (Mitt Romney being the other), but the Arkansas Guv just bailed?
Am I rash to conclude Republicans grasp they can't win in 2012? It's almost as if dear Obamabi wanders around mindlessly, like a beast the machine can't beat.
