On the Huckabee show, interview experts on the new bases in

Syria/Lebanon where the Russians are putting fighter jets.

Ask the question, how long is America going to do nothing,

while the Iran and Russia corners Israel? 2ndly, If He wants to run

in 2012, He needs to spend time in Califorina building a new

party there. Michael Steele will be of little help bringing

the conservatives any rallying leader. I would like to see him and Mitt Romney team up and hold rallies and teach old fashion

conseratism to a state hurting for change. Also back canidates

that can defeat NancyP and Barbabra B. Califorina needs some

midwest values if they ever plan to live in the black again.

We really appreciate this fine man here in Tenn. I don't know if a truly godly and honest man can ever make it to the White House or not. Most Americans, I'm sorry to say, would rather be entertained by Hollywood freaks.

I would like Mr. Huckabee's input on this.

I believe that Huckabee would be a tremendous choice for 2012. He is genuine in his convictions and thoughtful in his actions. He exercises sound judgment in his approach to governing and is not afraid of big ideas highlighted by his undivided support of the Fairtax. He has a proven history of “reaching across the aisle” and working with both parties to get things accomplished. I didn’t have the opportunity to vote for Huckabee in the primaries this year, but I would consider it an honor to support him in 2012.

I don't think it's his angle; I think it's part of his character how he listens and values others. And that 2012 run...he should run. Look at his track record for 11 years as Governor of the state of Arkansas. Arkansas was in deficit in the millions when he took office and when Mike Huckabee left, he left millions in surplus that he felt should be returned back to the people. He also turned their education around---they were ranked 48th in the nation and through some programs that he implemented, the state of Arkansas rose to either 6th or 8th in the nation in education. And after his superb handling of the Katrina evacuee situation and other things, he was named one of the five best governors in the U.S. He is a wise man and a strong man and if he should decide to run, he will make a fine president.

Great idea, Michael H. of TN! I couldn't think of a better ticket than Huckabee/Palin. Both Huckabee and Palin have things other than themselves as the center of their focus. Both put God and country first. Both of them were able to balance their budgets and clean up corruption in their own states. We need people with their kind of integrity and leadership skills to run this country!

I hope to see a Huckabee/Palin ticket in 2012 and would do anything possible to help them reclaim America. Our founding fathers would be proud of them both. They have the values and character of the ones that established our great democracy. They both are strong defenders of the constitution. I was a life-long democrat until a few short weeks ago. However, Huckabee was by far the strongest presidential candidate on either side of the ticket in 2008. Competent politicians like Huckabee, Palin, and a few others are the main reasons I decided to become a republican this year. I am proud to call myself a republican (a very new republican) because of patriotic republicans like them.

If given the pleasure to shake the hand of Mike Huckabee in late January of 2013, the first thing I would love to be able to say to him is: "it's an honor to see you, Mr. President."

I hope he runs in 2012. If he does, I hope America realizes the incredible strength of character and abilities he would bring to the White House. It's long overdue.

This makes him a good leader and helps us understand his character. As a campaigner, he was sharp and cunning. As a Governor he was creative yet pragmatic. As a host he is respectful and entertaining. Huckabee is very comfortable with himself and his beliefs; it speaks to his integrity and honesty. Most of all this realization, that his role gives instructions on how he should perform or behave, reveals that he is humble and knows that his position of service is for the benefit of other and not himself. He sees himself in the world as not the center, very unique for politicians today and very much different than an egomaniac; like Hillary Clinton or Barrack Obama (wrote an autobiography in his 20s, this guy has problems).

I was very quickly won over by his policy ideas, his gubernatorial record, and his communication skills during the GOP primaries; I could very easily be again persuaded to support him again.

I would love to see him run on a ticket with another brilliant conservative mind, Bobby Jindal, in 2012. Palin would be great to; she was slandered badly this last election cycle and it will be interesting if she can resurrect her career. No more John McCain or Colin Powell types though.

you must be joking.we are not a bananana republic yet that we have to field these losers in 2012.

I sometimes enjoy Hucks show on Fox. Seems to have a soft spot for liberals. He is very thoughtful in his comments on his show. Then he puts on his political hat and becomes a very ugly man (always towards other Republicans) I will never vote for him, seems very two faced to me.
