Huckabee Or Not To Huckabee, That Is The Question

The Huckster will be announcing whether or not he makes another run at the brass ring tonight on his FOX News show.  Emails sent out suggest he's going to go for it.

Although Huckabee did not tip his hand as to his final decision, an email obtained by Time's Mark Halperin asked his friends: "Please be patient if I don't respond immediately to an email because I expect that once I pull the trigger Saturday night, things will get even crazier, as if that's possible."

The former Arkansas governor frequently leads in national polls of Republican primary voters and, with Haley Barbour not running, would be the only candidate with a strong claim to the Southern voters that form the backbone of the party. Despite being significantly outspent in 2008, he won an upset victory in the Iowa caucuses and won large shares of the vote in a number of other states, including South Carolina.

Huckabee's top advisor, Ed Rollins, told ABC News that he does not believe he Huckabee will enter the race. But he added that "if he announced tomorrow night, on Monday I could push the button and the campaign would start to unfold."

In his e-mail, Huckabee said that he had only come to his final decision, whatever it may be, at the last minute.

LeBron Huckabee?  Really?   He's not fooling anyone of course he's going to run.  All he has to do is keep his mouth shut until the competition self-immolates, and he wins by default.  Of course that won't be hard with Newt Gingrich immediately blowing himself up by calling Obama "the most successful food stamp President ever" competing with Ron Paul for the title of "biggest racist asshole in the Republican Party".  Mitt will get zapped for MassCare, and that pretty much leaves Huckabee by default.

Scary thought, huh?

New tag, The Huckster.
