I’m just going to start with – He’s got my vote, what a good start to getting God back into or government!
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee who earlier said he was praying about running for president in 2016 admitted Sunday that he is interested in another bid. “It would be, frankly, dishonest to say no,” he tole “Fox News Sunday” after being asked if he was considering another run.
Huckabee, a Fox News commentator himself said there is a “50-50” chance he will run, adding his final decision would still come from the heart and that the GOP already has “a strong stable of candidates” for 2016. “It would be a decision of the heart,” he said.
Huckabee met with a group of pastors and political leaders earlier this month from the early voting states of Iowa and South Carolina. Speaking on CBN on “The Brody File” show about two weeks ago, he said top evangelical and financial figures who did not back him in 2008 now want him to make another bid.
“I’m not even close to being ready to saying yeah I’m going to run but I think that there’s an openness now,” Huckabee told CBN. “A lot of it has to do with the fact that I’ve had some incredible encouragement from people that I wasn’t expecting to get it from. I think even from people who didn’t support me before…. These are people who look me square in the eye and say it with conviction.”
Last month, Huckabee announced that his radio show which is heard three hours a day on over 200 radio stations would end December 12 as he was preparing for some “new endeavors.” “I have opportunities in some other areas that cannot be accomplished given the 8-9 hours a day I was devoting to the daily long-form show,” he said on his Facebook page.
A man with morals in the White House? What a thought!
