There's still time for him to run in 2016 if the environment is right for that. I'm sure that the decision was difficult for Huckabee to make, but one of the reasons I'm not surprised that he opted against running is the political climate in the country. Our country is very divided right now and while I think Mike would be a great unifier, the attacks that will come at him from the Club for Growth wing of the GOP will not be unifying. He claims that his decision is a "spiritual decision" and as a Christian, I believe him when he says that.
While you may be disappointed in his decision not to run, you should respect that his decision was made after lots of personal introspection and was not a decision that he made lightly.

The highly trained fireman was asked why he didn't run into the burning building where several people were trapped. His reply was "Being a fireman is a job that takes one to the limit of his or her human capacity. For me, to do it apart from the inner confidence that I was undertaking it without God's full blessing is simply unthinkable."
After the terrible incident was over, and only chalk outlines of bodies remained, the highly capable police officer was asked why he had not helped. He answered, "Being a policeman is a job that takes one to the limit of his or her human capacity. For me, to do it apart from the inner confidence that I was undertaking it without God's full blessing is simply unthinkable."
The last scheduled Space Shuttle mission was cancelled today because several members of the crew decided they wouldn't embark on the craft. Though they had been training for this mission for over a year, and had even dropped hints they intended to fly, in the end, they said their heart just wasn't in it. "Being an astronaut is a job that takes one to the limit of his or her human capacity. For us, to do it apart from the inner confidence that I was undertaking it without God's full blessing is simply unthinkable."
