WASHINGTON - Mike Huckabee wouldn't rule out a 2012 run for president Wednesday, but he acknowledged it could be hard to take back the spotlight from fellow Republican Sarah Palin.

Huckabee credited Palin with energizing McCain's campaign and said that her surprise selection for the GOP ticket helped her to "leapfrog over the process" that other Republicans — including himself — had to endure to become national political figures

2. I'm more afraid of a Huckabee candidacy than any other Republican

He's easy to like, and most Americans aren't ideological.

Don't underestimate him.

5. I think you're right. n/t

3. So which late night talk show host is going to take credit for this one?

4. If Mike did drag, he'd be Sarah, Klan rallies an all.

Somehow, we've got to mount a media campaign to counter these horrible people.

6. Next up, Mitt Romney will join him on the "We lost to John McCain" tour.

7. Oh God, who cares.

Could we have a few minute's peace before the next campaign is up and running?

11. Fortunately, that "leapfrogging over the process" didn't work out too well for her.

12. Honestly, he's the closest thing to a Republican Bill Clinton, with no disrespect to the Big Dog

He's extremely folksy, not an idiot, and is rather difficult to pin down to either the Republican party elite or ideologues.

I fear him far more than I fear Palin, Romney, and some of the other GOP retreads.
