In a heartfelt announcement moments ago, Mike Huckabee said that he would not be joining the race for 2012. After deep personal reflection over the past few months, he recently realized “All the factors say go, but my heart says no.”
He said that his original concerns about raising the necessary funds to be competitive or being able to win in states outside the South were answered when signs of strong financial support materialized and polls showed him winning in states like Pennsylvania, Maine and New Jersey.
This decision was spiritual, not political for him and he sought clarity from Jesus Christ in order to make it. In the end, Huckabee said, “My answer is clear and firm. I will not seek the Republican nomination for president this year.”
