I saw on the twitter machines last night that Mike Huckabee’s not running for president, but it’s just this morning that I saw his announcement involved an homage to Christina Aguilera: “All the factors say go, but my heart says no.”
Remaining contenders hoping to snag the Huckabee endorsement will, of course, need to run him the right way. Common sense suggests that his absence helps the southerner in the race (Gingrich) and the Protestant (Pawlenty) and thus counts primarily as additional bad news for Mitt Romney.
