I would favor Governor Mike Huckabee by a mile over anyone else in the GOP race. I hear from people all over the nation hoping he will reconsider getting back in. When he said "my heart says no" he clearly stipulated...."for now."
...
He is in a class of his own and would be the immediate adult on the debate stage with more experience, wisdom, and class than everyone else combined. His communication skills would even be envied by Ronald Reagan.
He also has the uncanny ability to communicate the conservative message without being obstinate and polarizing. He would garner votes from Independents, women, and minorities like no other conservative. And yes, he would beat Obama and he would beat him badly- like "in the landslide of the century."
Still—this is a decision for him to make. I know of no evidence that he IS re-considering, but with the clock running out— I can understand supporters wondering what he may now be thinking, especially since he implied he would perhaps be open to taking another look at the field in "the fall" to see if there was a clear frontrunner and/or if there was a strong candidate to carry the fiscal and social conservative message all the way to the White House. There isn't. Instead there is a gaping hole the size of the Grand Canyon on steroids, especially with the definitive "no" by Chris Christie. [AW:adding the Palin no as well]
He has downplayed the rumors he was "reconsidering"- but still did not categorically say "no." If the GOP leadership wants an epic landslide in 2012, perhaps now is the time to set up camp on his doorstep.
