Will Mike Huckabee Run in 2012?

There's a of questions about whether or not Mike Huckabee will run for president in 2012. He's definetly got a lot going for him if he decides to win and I tend to think that he's got a good a chance as any of the current crop of Republican politicians at winning the nomination.

Of course whether or not he runs is up to him. But there are some signs that he's beginning to prepare for a run. According to the Blog, Mike Huckabee President, there's definitely some signs that Huckabee is going to run. Some of the things that they sight are his remaining very active in politics (which of course is quite true).

Whether or not Huckabee runs in 2012 is not a big deal. I hope he does run and if he does of course I'll support him. If he doesn't that is his own personal decision. He'd make a great president and I think that he could definitely help this country rectify some of the major problems that are only being made worse by the current set of politicians.

Is Huckabee without faults? That's like asking if he's human. Of course he has faults; I think sometimes that people hold politicians to a higher standard than they hold most people to. In fact, I think many people hold politicians to a nearly perfect standard. But of course politicians are people just like the rest of us and no matter how elite they act, they're really just as prone to fault and failure like the rest. However, Huckabee has been an effective leader for conservative causes and if he runs a solid campaign, I think he'll win the Republican nomination and the Presidency in 2012.

Why Huckabee Would Make a Good President

I've been thinking about writing a post about how Mike Huckabee might NOT be a good president. But the reasons that he might not be a good president I feel are outweighed by the reasons that he would be a good president.

The very reasons that Mike Huckabee would be a good president are the reasons that Obama has not been a very good president. Huckabee for one knows where he stands and knows what he believes. I've never heard him waffle on his core principles and values.

Huckabee is a strong believer in America. On the Medved show last night, Mike Huckabee was talking about how America is STILL the greatest place on earth to live. He's lived the American dream and he respects the American dream unlike the current president. He does not make trips around the world bashing the United States like president Obama has. Huckabee's love of country alone would be enough to make him a much better choice than President Obama.

Mike Huckabee would make a good president because he's pragmatic. He knows how to work with Democrats in a way where he can get his agenda. Mike Huckabee also believes in the values that most Americans believe in. He believes in the sanctity of life and he believes in the importance of the marriage covenant between a man and a woman.

Huckabee is a very thoughtful person. Now if you ask the liberals, they thought that Obama was a thoughtful person. Well, I have news for you, Barack Obama has NOT been a very thoughtful person when it comes to many issues facing the American people. He rams through legislation that is harmful to the future of America and then plays the victim card when people come out and hold him accountable for it.

In conclusion, there are some things that might make Huckabee not such a great president, such as his tendency to maybe compromise a little too much with the other side. But there are more reasons that Huckabee would be an excellent choice for president and he would be a much better president than Barack Obama and I dare say for that matter Sarah Palin as well.
