Huckabee Isn't Running

I flipped the channel in between innings of the Red Sox-Yankees game to see Mike Huckabee announce he would not seek the GOP nomination for President in 2012.

I can't say I'm surprised. He has a popular show in which he gets to paid to play bass.

Why would he give up that gig?

While Huckabee is an affable fellow he does occasionally show lapses of judgment (i.e. misplaced compassion for convicted killers, saying Obama grew up in Kenya, Natalie Portman.) He also lacks the instinct necessary to go after the jugular. Let's face it. President Obama plays for keeps and by the time he got through with Huckabee there wouldn't have been any bone left.
