If you are a fan of his on Facebook, he posted a long detailed message which explains his decision. I am sad, because in caucus, I voted for him before the Obamanation got in.
I'm not at all surprised by this.
Long explanation or not, he knew from the get go he was trounced severely the last time and he does not have the support this time.
He's also got a great gig going with Fox News which he would have to give up to run for President.
I do not think he is charismatic enough of a politician to beat Obama and we need someone truly charismatic to gather in the voters to win.
I agree, and I think he could've given Obama huge problems in the general.
Trounced? Didn't he finish 3rd in the GOP primary field in '08? And compared to McCain and Romney, Huckabee oozes charisma. He's personally engaging, every bit as much as Obama.
I doubt very seriously his one hr a week on Fox is more appealing than being POTUS.
I hate this.
He was the only Republican I'd have voted for that has put their hat in so far.
I hope they come up with someone better than eye of Newt, Romney or McCain. :rolleyes:
Yes, I stand by trounced. The definition of which is defeated heavily.
Winning 8 states out of 50, winning 20% out of 100% of the vote, only half the number of votes of McCain....yes, that's trounced.
As for the charisma issue, I don't disagree with your assessment of his charisma as compared to the others mentioned.
HOWEVER, he doesn't come close to Obama's and that's the one that needs to be bet in 2012.
would still love to see Condy run on the Repub's ticket!! At least she would be a "sight for sore eyes" in the Oval Office:thumbs::thumbs: And I'm sure theres a live birth certificate she can put her hands on somewere here in Alabama!!!:type:
She's probably a lot like my wife---carries it around in her purse "just in case!!!!"
