Will Run Country for Food

The Hotline (subscription required) reports Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee didn’t dismiss the possibility of running for president in 2008 when appearing on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal this morning:

When asked about a possible White House candidacy, Huckabee said, "I honestly don't know. I can't run for re-election as governor. I'm term limited. ... So I'm out the door in January 2007. ... So I'll need a job. ... I'm just not sure that it could happen. You know, another Arkansas might take a look at something in 2008 — but I'm not sure if I want to move to New York and run for Senate."

Huckabee was also asked for his thoughts on Hillary Clinton and said, “I respect her. I think she's incredibly brilliant. ... And she's underestimated by many in the Republican Party.”
