Huckabee announced during his FOX News show on Saturday night that he would not be seeking the Republican nomination for President in 2012. Even though many people were supporting him to make a run, Huckabee said, "all the factors say go, but my heart says no." Huckabee had been considered the Republican front runner in many political polls.
"The past few months have been times of deep personal reflection. Even though I wasn't actively establishing a campaign organization or seeking financial support to run again, polls have consistently put me at or near the top to be the Republican nominee.
"I had not done much toward a race because my life was filled with work that I truly love here at Fox News, doing radio commentaries on my daily Huckabee Report on 600 radio stations, traveling the country for speaking engagements, and helping good conservative, pro-life candidates who were running for office. Other people probably thought about it more than I did.
"But I know that under the best of circumstances, being President is a job that takes one to the limit of his or her human capacity. I can't know or predict the future, but I know for now my answer is clear and firm: I will not seek the Republican nomination for President this year," Huckabee said.
