Reply #1: It's hard to guess if Huckabee is going to run for the

GOP nomination or if he lacks the "fire in the belly."

Some days he behaves as if he will run. Endorsing candidates like this is sometimes a signal.

Other days he just doesn't seem much interested at all.

Huckabee is charming in that Sunday preacher in the pulpit kind of way, but politically ambivalent about his own relationship to power.

Beneath the "charm" and the ambivalence,l I'm still getting a reprehensible kook, a cultural throwback, and deep-fried authoritarian.

Never liked this guy much.

DeVore can have him.
