Holier than thou (if thou is a Democrat) Mike Huckabee announced on his Fox TV show Saturday evening that he's going to keep doing his Fox TV show and, oh yeah, he's not running for President. He humbly spoke of all the reasons that make his decision seem illogical: polls, money, family support, GOPer pols and good Christians urging him--expecting him--to run.
But though his head says to do it, his heart says no. It's a spiritual decision, he said, the result of "a time of deep personal reflection." People maybe won't understand why he isn't running, but "I'm a believer and follower of Jesus Christ and that relationship is far more important to me than any political office." So apparently Jesus told him not to run, so what could he do?
But could the surprise Fox TV show guest Donald Trump been closer to the truth? "A lot of people are very happy that he will not be running, especially other candidates," Trump said. "So, Mike, enjoy the show, you're ratings are terrific, you're making a lot of money, you're building a beautiful house in Florida. Good luck."
Or maybe Ed Rollins, Huckabee's campaign manager in 2008 and presumably would have been for 2012? After admitting on CNN that Huckabee has put on a lot of weight, Rollins said the two had dinner recently and he told Huckabee that if he was going to run for President he would have to lose 30 pounds. But you're fat, too, Huckabee said to Rollins. "Yes," Rollins replied, "but I didn't write a diet book."
