Conservative political operatives, wowed by Mike Huckabee’s top-of-the-heap position in several presidential preference polls, are urging him to stop playing coy and get into the 2012 GOP primary race. What’s more, they’re ready to set up a campaign for him. All he has to do, they say, is come up with a “killer economic plan” and junk his 2008 presidential campaign team, led by his daughter, and turn it over to the pros.

As someone posting this from Ireland, Mike Huckabee is by far the best candidate to beat Barack Obama next year. He has extensive and substantial executive experience, an extraordinarily affable and amiable nature that completely disarms his most vociferous opponents, has a real grasp of the issues that matter, and is a proper problem-solver not a rank idealogue, he is a true Christian who believes in the tenet of helping those less fortunate but not giving a hand-out, and he would not treat America's allies as enemies and enemies as allies. If he did get the nomination for President, who would be a suitable vice-presidential pick? My choice would be Condi Rice, if she would accept such a position, and I would hope she would...GO HUCK, God bless you...

I am quite sure that he will under no circumstance ditch his complete campaign team--especially his 2008 campaign chier, Ed Rollins. Rollins has served in the White House four times (twice with Reagan, once with Nixon and Ford) and managed Reagan's 1984 re-election bid in 1984 (which was the biggest landslide in presidential election history). Rollins is an experienced, battle-proven vet who can lead Huckabee to victory in 2012 if he chooses to run. Moreover, McCain's campaign was poorly-run anyway--Huckabee will want no part of that.
