Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney wasn’t the only governor here at the RGA conference with White House ambitions. Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was spotted at the Doral on Wednesday, but either left or kept a very low profile on Thursday. He did, however, win praise from Romney in the RGA chair’s remarks at the joint press conference the governors held yesterday and in Romney’s keynote speech at the final dinner last night.

One veteran consultant here said that Huckabee was still intent on running for president and would launch a national campaign immediatly after his successor is sworn in in January.
