Huckabee Seriously Considering 2012 Run; Says Obama Will be Tough to Beat
I heard Richard Land predict today on his radio show that Mike Huckabee will not run for President this time around. (You can listen to his prediction here.)
Richard Land has known Mike Huckabee since 1980 when Huckabee was a Southern Baptist pastor in Arkansas. Who is Richard Land? Princeton (A.B., magna cum laude) and Oxford (D.Phil.) educated, Dr. Richard Land has served as president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission since 1988. During his tenure as representative for the largest Protestant denomination in the country, Dr. Land has represented Southern Baptist and other Evangelicals’ concerns in the halls of Congress, before U.S. Presidents, and in the media.
In 2005, Dr. Land was featured in Time Magazine as one of The Twenty-five Most Influential Evangelicals in America.
As host of For Faith & Family and Richard Land LIVE!, two nationally syndicated radio programs, Dr. Land speaks passionately and authoritatively on the social, ethical, and public policy issues facing our country. Listeners can hear these broadcasts on over 500 radio stations across the country and on-demand on the Internet.
Jason Tolbert discusses the things that Huckabee is considering on his blog today. Here is a portion below:
As I see it, there are two possibilities. First, he will announce that he will not run for President in 2012. Or second, he will announce that he is leaving Fox News to explore the possibility of running for President. I don’t think he will officially make his final announcement tonight but if he gives up the show, it means he is running. Although most are predicting he will not run, a strong case can be made for either position. Let examine each one.
